<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress image omission of an original in an image reader. <P>SOLUTION: When continuously conveying two or more sheets of originals G and reading the original G positioned on a conveyance path, an image reader 1 starts read from a position more on the upstream side than a distal end of the original G by a distal end expansion width W1, and ends the read of the original at a position more on the downstream side than a rear end of the original G by a rear end expansion width W2. The image reader 1 has a mechanism for setting an inter-paper distance Z on the basis of an original size L0 of the original G, and when determining the distal end expansion width W1 and the rear end expansion width W2, determines the values from the original size L0. In the image reader 1, since the inter-paper distance Z, the distal end expansion width W1 and the rear end expansion width W2 are all determined on the basis of the original size L0, the values can be determined such that a read area H of the continuously conveyed originals G does not overlap, and the image omission of the original G is suppressed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
