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 4):
The image reading apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the third condition includes a condition in which a difference between the output value of the receiving portion for a antecedent medium and the output value of the receiving portion for a subsequent medium exceeds a predetermined range.
