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 3):
The image reading apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising a pair of transport rollers provided on a downstream side of the feeding means and an upstream side of the reading section,\n wherein the third condition includes a condition in which a difference between the output value of the receiving portion for a first interval and the output value of the receiving portion for a second interval exceeds a predetermined range, the first interval being an interval up to an arrival at a nip point of the pair of transport rollers by a front edge of the medium fed by the feeding means after passing through the medium detection section by the front edge of the medium, the second interval being an interval subsequent to passing through the nip point of the pair of transport rollers by the front edge of the medium.
