Abstract:
An image scanner includes a document detector configured to, each time line scanning is repeated a predetermined number of times, perform an edge detecting process to detect a position of a lateral side extending in a sub scanning direction from a non-reference corner of a sheet, in the edge detecting process performed for a first time, set a position of the non-reference corner in a main scanning direction as a detection reference position, in the edge detecting process performed for a second or later time, set a previously-detected position of the lateral side in the main scanning direction as the detection reference position, and in each edge detecting process, set a detection range in the main scanning direction on the basis of the detection reference position, and detect a specific pixel corresponding to the lateral side in the main scanning direction within the detection range in the main scanning direction.

Claim (Index 9):
The image scanner according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the document detector is further configured to:\n in response to failing to detect the position of the lateral side extending in the sub scanning direction from the non-reference corner of the sheet, detect a position of another lateral side extending in the sub scanning direction from the reference corner, by detecting a pixel corresponding to the another lateral side of the sheet in the main scanning direction within the scanned image corresponding to the image data generated by the line scanning repeated the predetermined number of times.
