An image reader includes a document table ( 2 ) having a platen plate ( 3 ) placed on an upper surface of the document table ( 2 ); a document table cover ( 4 ) supported at an upper end of the document table ( 2 ) in a pivotable manner; a first image sensor ( 5 ) which is provided in the document table ( 2 ) and is actuated in parallel with the platen plate ( 3 ) by means of a sensor drive mechanism ( 6 ); a document moving mechanism for causing the document to move along a document transport path ( 9 ) formed in the document table cover ( 4 ); and a second image sensor ( 20 ) fixed to the document table cover ( 4 ) so as to be situated at a position above the document transport path ( 9 ). A track of the document, which moves through the document transport path ( 9 ), passes through a focal point (scan point) of the first image sensor ( 5 ) achieved when the first image sensor ( 5 ) is situated at a standby position.
