An image-reading apparatus reads an image on a document by controlling a main-scanning operation in accordance with an index period, a sub-scanning operation in accordance with a line-thinning rate, and a reading velocity of reading the image in a sub-scanning direction in accordance with a magnification factor. The apparatus includes an inputting section to input the magnification factor, an index period changing section to control the index period, based on the magnification factor, and a line-thinning rate changing section to control the line-thinning rate, based on the magnification factor. The index period changing section may select one of a plurality of index periods, including at least normal and long index periods, to control the index period. The thinning-rate changing section may select one of a plurality of line-thinning rates, including line-thinning rates indicating activation and deactivation of a line-thinning operation, to control the line-thinning rate.
