Abstract:
An image reading apparatus includes a pair of first detection sections disposed between first positions for the feeding rollers and the separation rollers for nipping and second positions for the transport roller pair for nipping, and a pair of second detection sections disposed between the first detection sections and the second positions in the medium transport direction. The second detection sections are disposed between the first detection sections in the medium width direction, and a controller determines whether to stop transporting the medium or continue transporting the medium based on the results of detection by the first detection sections and the second detection sections.

Claim (Index 1):
An image reading apparatus for reading media supported on a media mounter, the image reading apparatus comprising:\n a feeding roller configured to feed in a first direction the media supported on the media mounter; a separation roller configured to, with the feeding roller, nip and separate at a separation nip position a medium from the media supported on the media mounter; a transport roller pair disposed downstream from the feeding roller in the first direction, the transport roller pair being configured to nip therebetween, at a transport nip position, the medium separated by the separation roller and to transport the medium; a reader disposed downstream from the transport roller in the first direction, and configured to read the medium transported by the transport roller pair; a first detector and a second detector configured to detect the medium fed by the feeding roller, the first detector and the second detector being disposed between the separation nip position and the transport nip position in the first direction and on opposite sides of the feeding roller with respect to a second direction that intersects in the first direction; a third detector and a fourth detector configured to detect the medium, the third detector and the fourth detector being disposed between the first detector and the transport nip position with respect to the first direction, the third detector being disposed between the first detector and the transport roller with respect to the second direction and the fourth detector being disposed between the second detector and the transport roller with respect to the second direction; and a controller configured to control the transport of the medium based on detection results of detection by the first detector, the second detector, the third detector and the fourth detector, the controller determining whether to stop transport of the medium or to continue transport of the medium based on the detection results.
