Abstract:
A controller executes area defining processing for defining a middle area and two side areas, and ending processing. In a case where the document leading edge extends parallel to a main scanning direction, the controller executes the ending processing for non-skewed document. In a case where the document leading edge does not extend parallel to the main scanning direction, the controller executes the ending processing for skewed document. In which, the controller determines, in the middle area and the side areas, first, second, and third change positions, respectively, at each of which a type of a target read image data line changes from document data to document cover data, determines, based on the first change position and the second change position, whether a document has a rectangular shape, and ends the reading operation based on the third change position and the determination result as to the document shape.

Claim (Index 3):
The image scanner according to  claim 2 , wherein the controller is further configured to:\n in angle calculation processing, calculate a skewed angle of the document leading edge relative to the main scanning direction, in the moving distance calculation processing, calculate the first moving distance by multiplying a value obtained by application of sinusoidal processing to the skewed angle by a distance between the third reference point position and the third change position in the sub-scanning direction and further multiplying the value obtained by the former multiplication by the value obtained by application of the sinusoidal processing to the skewed angle.
