Abstract:
An image reading apparatus includes a feed roller configured to feed paper toward a reading section, and a medium detection section provided along a transport path between the feed roller and the reading section and configured to include a transmitting portion configured to output an output value equivalent to a magnitude of an ultrasonic wave, and determines whether the transport of the paper is to be continued or to be brought to a halt on the basis of a lower limit value and an upper limit value for the output value, which are set in accordance with the kind of the paper. Further, in a case where the output value satisfies a first condition, a transport of the medium is continued, and in a case where the output value satisfies a condition different from the first condition, the transport of the medium is brought to a halt.

Claim (Index 8):
The image reading apparatus according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the receiving portion is disposed in a concave portion provided on a side of one transport path face among a pair of transport path faces between which the medium being transported is interposed, and wherein the concave portion includes a medium scooping portion provided in such a way as to protrude from an opening of the concave portion toward an inside, and partially cover a downstream side portion of the receiving portion.
