PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To judge size of an original by simple structure and in a short time. SOLUTION: Whether or not difference (x-y) between a mean value x of image data at a closing state of a cover and a mean value y of the image data at a closed state of the cover in each sensing area is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold th1 is judged (168). When the difference (x-y) is equal to or less than the threshold th1 here, it is judged that the original is laid on the sensing area and "1" is set in a status register of the sensing area (170), on the other hand, when the difference (x-y) is larger than the threshold th1, "0" is set in the status register of the sensing area (172). Then, presence/absence and the size of the original are judged based on values (values indicating whether or not the original is laid) of the status register set for each sensing area.
