Abstract:
An image reading apparatus that controls relative positions of a carriage and a document in a first direction using a motor, so as to read an image of the document on a line by line basis, the carriage being mounted with an image sensor and a light source. The image reading apparatus detects an amount of movement caused by the motor in the first direction and generates a first trigger signal in response to input of a synchronization signal generated in accordance with the detected amount of movement, the first trigger signal instructing to start accumulation of charge in the image sensor, and, after a predetermined amount of time since the synchronization signal used for generating the first trigger signal is input, generates a second trigger signal, the second trigger signal instructing to end accumulation of the charge being accumulated in the image sensor.

Claim (Index 12):
The image reading apparatus according to  claim 2 ,\n wherein, in synchronization with the first trigger signal, the image sensor resets accumulated charge, starts accumulation of charge, and outputs an image signal of a previous cycle, the image signal being stored in a storage memory, and wherein, in synchronization with the second trigger signal, the image sensor loads into the storage memory an image signal obtained by converting charge accumulated between the first trigger signal and the second trigger signal.
