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 15):
The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to  claim 13 ,\n wherein the at least one distance detector includes:\n a first distance detector configured to output a detection signal having a value corresponding to a distance in the main scanning direction from a first particular position to a first side end of the document sheet being conveyed by the conveyor; and \n a second distance detector configured to output a detection signal having a value corresponding to a distance in the main scanning direction from a second particular position to a second side end of the document sheet being conveyed by the conveyor, the second side end being an opposite side end of the first side end, and \n wherein the first storing process comprises:\n a third storing process to, when determining that the first distance detector has output a detection signal having the first value, determine that the document sheet is being conveyed in a state rotated in a first direction, and store the first position into the storage; and \n a fourth storing process to, when determining that the first distance detector has not output a detection signal having the first value and that the second distance detector has output a detection signal having the first value, determine that the document sheet is being conveyed in a state rotated in a second direction opposite to the first direction, and store the first position into the storage.
