Abstract:
An image scanning apparatus includes a controller configured to perform a setting process to set a specific waiting time for a timer, based on a detected position of a document guide. The setting process includes, when the detected position of the document guide is a particular guide position for a first-size document sheet, setting a first waiting time as the specific waiting time for the timer, and when the detected position of the document guide is not the particular guide position, setting a second waiting time as the specific waiting time for the timer, the second waiting time being longer than the first waiting time.

Claim (Index 3):
The image scanning apparatus according to  claim 2 , further comprising:\n a second document detector configured to detect whether there is a first-size document sheet of the first particular size placed on the document tray; and a third document detector configured to detect whether there is a second-size document sheet of the second particular size placed on the document tray, wherein the setting process further comprises:\n when determining that the detected position of the document guide is the first guide position, in response to the second document detector detecting a first-size document sheet placed on the document tray, setting the first waiting time as the specific waiting time for the timer; \n when determining that the detected position of the document guide is the first guide position, in response to the second document detector detecting that there is no first-size document sheet placed on the document tray, setting the second waiting time as the specific waiting time for the timer; \n when determining that the detected position of the document guide is the second guide position, in response to the second document detector detecting that there is no first-size document sheet placed on the document tray, and the third document detector detecting a document sheet having a size equal to or larger than the second particular size, setting the third waiting time as the specific waiting time for the timer; and \n when determining that the detected position of the document guide is the second guide position, in response to the third document detector detecting that there is no document sheet having a size equal to or larger than the second particular size, setting the second waiting time as the specific waiting time for the timer.
