A cutting apparatus includes a housing (110) formed with an insertion hole (111) through which a sheet-shaped object (160) is inserted, a transfer unit (140) configured to transfer the inserted object (160) along a transfer path, a reading unit (180) configured to read an image of the transferred object (160), a platen (300) located opposite the reading unit (180) with the transfer path being interposed between the platen (300) and the reading unit (180), the platen (300) having a flat surface on which the object (160) is placeable and a cutting unit (130) disposed nearer the insertion hole (111) than the reading unit (180) on the transfer path, thereby cutting the object (160). The reading unit (180) includes a light-transmitting plate (181) through which light passes. The housing (110) encloses the reading unit (180), the transfer unit (140), the platen (300) and the cutting unit (130). The platen (300) includes at least a part openable and closable so that a surface of the light-transmitting plate (181), located at the object (160) side is externally exposed. |
