An image in a slide mount (17, 91) is pre-scanned while a mount holder (36) with a slide mount (17, 91) is conveyed from a scan start position to a scan end position. In the middle of the reverse movement of the slide mount (36) after the pre-scan, the slide mount (36) is stopped to carry out focusing operation, and fed back to the scan start position. Based on the scan condition determined by calculation during the focusing operation, the image is fine-scanned to obtain image data while the slide mount (36) is conveyed to the scan end position. A sort card (34, 93, 94, 95) for dividing slide mounts (17, 91) for each order has identification openings (34a, 93a, 94a, 95a). The identification openings (34a, 93a, 94a, 95a) are formed in the middle of all sides in order to detect the sort card (34, 93, 94, 95) even when the sort card (34, 93, 94, 95) is turned over or loaded in incorrect orientation direction. <IMAGE> |
