Abstract:
An image scanning apparatus includes a controller configured to perform a setting process to set a specific waiting time for a timer, based on a detected position of a document guide. The setting process includes, when the detected position of the document guide is a particular guide position for a first-size document sheet, setting a first waiting time as the specific waiting time for the timer, and when the detected position of the document guide is not the particular guide position, setting a second waiting time as the specific waiting time for the timer, the second waiting time being longer than the first waiting time.

Claim (Index 2):
The image scanning apparatus according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the controller is further configured to:\n in response to the first document detector detecting the document sheet placed on the document tray, determine which position the detected position of the document guide is, among:\n the first guide position; \n a second guide position for guiding a second-size document sheet having a second particular size smaller than the first particular size; and \n a position other than the first guide position and the second guide position, and \n \n wherein the setting process further comprises:\n when determining that the detected position of the document guide is the second guide position, setting a third waiting time as the specific waiting time for the timer, the third waiting time being longer than the first waiting time; and \n when determining that the detected position of the document guide is the position other than the first guide position and the second guide position, setting the second waiting time as the specific waiting time for the timer, the second waiting time being longer than the third waiting time.
