Abstract:
An image scanning apparatus comprises a pair of regulating members that regulates a position of the document sheet stacked on a stacking unit, at least one of the regulating members being movable in a width direction; and units that detects a length in the width direction between the regulating members, and detects the width of the document sheet conveyed by a conveyance unit; wherein in a case where a difference between the detected length and the detected width of a document sheet is smaller than a threshold, a first sheet-to-sheet interval is set, and in a case where the difference between the detected length and the detected width of the document sheet is larger than the threshold, a second sheet-to-sheet interval which is larger than the first sheet-to-sheet interval is set.

Claim (Index 6):
The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the control unit derives the sheet-to-sheet interval when the document sheets are to be conveyed based on the difference between the length detected by the first detecting unit and the width of the document sheet detected by the second detecting unit.
