Abstract:
An image reading apparatus includes a reading unit configured to read an image of a medium fed through a first feed path, a switching unit that isolates a third feed path from a junction so as to guide the medium from a second feed path to the first feed path when being disposed at a first position and that guides the medium from the first feed path to the third feed path when being disposed at the second position, and a drive unit that moves the switching unit to the second position when the medium is fed from the first feed path to the third feed path, wherein the drive unit moves the switching unit to the first position after a lapse of predetermined time from a beginning of feeding the medium from the third feed path toward the first feed path.

Claim (Index 5):
The image reading apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a second transporting roller that feeds a medium in the first feed path, wherein the drive unit is formed in such a manner that the switching unit moves to the first position after the second transporting roller feeds the medium fed by the first transporting roller rotating in the first direction.
