Abstract:
An image scanning apparatus includes a distance detector configured to output a detection signal having a value corresponding to a distance in a main scanning direction from a particular position to a side end of a document sheet being conveyed, and a controller configured to store a first position of the document sheet in a conveyance direction when the distance detector outputs a detection signal having a first value corresponding to a first particular distance, store a second position of the document sheet in the conveyance direction when the distance detector outputs a detection signal having a second value corresponding to a second particular distance, and calculate a skew angle of the document sheet based on the first position and the second position.

Claim (Index 7):
The image scanning apparatus according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the at least one distance detector is disposed in the particular position, and wherein the controller is further configured to perform:\n a scanning process to control the image scanner to scan the image of the document sheet on a line-by-line basis along the main scanning direction while controlling the conveyor to convey the document sheet in the conveyance direction, thereby acquiring scanned image data; and \n a correcting process to correct the scanned image data by rotating the scanned image data based on the skew angle.
