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 6):
A method implementable on a processor coupled with an image scanning apparatus having a tray, the method comprising:\n detecting a sheet placed on the tray; detecting a position of a document guide, the document guide being provided on the tray; determining whether the detected position of the document guide is a first guide position; setting one of a first waiting time and a second waiting time, wherein the first waiting time is set when it is determined that the detected position of the document guide is the first guide position, and the second waiting time is set when it is determined that the detected position of the document guide is not the first guide position, the second waiting time being greater than the first waiting time; determining whether the timer completes counting the one of the first waiting time and the second waiting time since detecting the sheet on the tray; and in response to determining that the timer completes counting the one of the first waiting time and the second waiting time, starting conveying the sheet on the tray.
