Abstract:
An image reading apparatus comprises a light source for repeatedly emitting first light having a first color, second light having a second color and third light having a third color toward a read target while moving the light source in a sub-scanning direction, first, second, and third sensors, each configured to sense a strength of first, second, and third reflected light, respectively, in a light reflected from the read target, and to output first, second, and third signal waveforms corresponding to the strength of the first, second, and third reflected light, respectively, and a controller. The controller is configured to execute a line-to-line correction for correcting a phase shift between the first, second, and third signal waveforms, and to correct a shift in a signal level caused by the line-to-line correction.

Claim (Index 9):
The image reading apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein\n during a current light emission period, the first light is emitted a first time interval after the third light was emitted during a prior light emission period, the second light is emitted a second time interval after the first light is emitted, and the third light is emitted a third time interval after the second light is emitted, and the first, second, and third time intervals are all equal and a movement speed of the light source in the first direction is constant.
