<p>The image reading apparatus of the invention has a changing means between ordinary image reading mode and fine reading mode. And, in the fine reading mode, when the moving speed of the carriage carrying the photoelectric converter is set to 1/n of that of the ordinary reading mode, the number of times of the signal data being read out from the photoelectric converter is set to 1/n of that of the ordinary reading mode. So that lowering of resolution in the carriage moving direction is prevented. The image reading apparatus of the invention allows the users to change between arbitrarily the ordinary image reading mode and fine reading mode, and allows the users to select the value of n to be selected arbitrarily depending on the desired resolution of the image. <IMAGE></p> |
