Abstract:
A sheet conveying device includes a length sensor configured to detect a length of a sheet to be conveyed, and a processor configured to determine the length of the sheet while operating in a first mode and while operating in a second mode. While operating in the first mode, the processor determines the length detected by the length sensor as the length of the sheet. While operating in the second mode, the processor determines a predefined length as the length of the sheet, wherein the predefined length is greater than a shortest length detectable by the length sensor.

Claim (Index 14):
An image reading method, comprising:\n detect a length of a sheet to be conveyed using a length sensor; determining a length detection mode; upon determining that the length detection mode is a first mode, determining the length detected by the length sensor as the length of the sheet; upon determining that the length detection mode is a second mode, determining a predefined length as the length of the sheet, wherein the predefined length is greater than a shortest length detectable by the length sensor; and reading an image of the sheet according to the determined length.
