Claim:
1. A scanning apparatus, comprising: a conveyer having a plurality of conveying rollers and configured to convey an original sheet; a scanning device configured to scan an image on the original sheet; a sensor configured to detect an error which causes stoppage of conveyance of the original sheet by the conveyer; and a controller, the controller being configured to execute: a detection process of detecting, based on an output of the sensor, one of a plurality of errors, which causes stoppage of conveying the original sheet by the conveyer, distinctively from the other of the plurality of errors; an identifying process of identifying a type of the one of the plurality of errors detected in the detecting process; a notification process of notifying a user of an operation to be executed by the user, depending on the type of the one of the plurality of errors identified by the identifying process, to cause the conveyer to re-convey the original sheet that has been stopped; and a sheet length detection process of detecting a sheet length, which is a length of the sheet in a sheet conveying direction, of the original sheet conveyed by the conveyer, wherein the controller detects an error in the detection process and identify that the type of error is a short sheet error in the identifying process when the sheet length detected in the sheet length detection process is shorter than a distance between two conveying rollers which are adjacent to each other in the sheet conveying direction, and wherein the controller notifies an operation of changing an orientation of the original sheet when the error is identified to be the short sheet error in the identifying process, the orientation including at least a portrait orientation and a landscape orientation.
