<p>An image reading apparatus is disclosed which has the function of optically reading a transparent document while causing a transparent-document illuminating light source to move along the document. The apparatus has a correcting device for correcting the relative position between the transparent-document illuminating light source and a scanning unit located when document reading is started. It is thus possible to substantially maintain a light quantity at the reading lines while a document-reading operation is performed. <IMAGE></p> |
