Abstract:
An image scanning apparatus includes a distance detector configured to output a detection signal having a value corresponding to a distance in a main scanning direction from a particular position to a side end of a document sheet being conveyed, and a controller configured to store a first position of the document sheet in a conveyance direction when the distance detector outputs a detection signal having a first value corresponding to a first particular distance, store a second position of the document sheet in the conveyance direction when the distance detector outputs a detection signal having a second value corresponding to a second particular distance, and calculate a skew angle of the document sheet based on the first position and the second position.

Claim (Index 2):
The image scanning apparatus according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the skew angle calculating process comprises:\n a conveyance distance calculating process to calculate a conveyance distance by subtracting the first position from the second position; \n a detection distance calculating process to calculate a detection distance by subtracting the second particular distance from the first particular distance; and \n an arc sine calculating process to calculate the skew angle by calculating an arc sine of the detection distance divided by the conveyance distance.
