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 8):
The image scanning apparatus according to  claim 3 ,\n wherein the first distance detector is disposed in the first particular position, wherein the second distance detector is disposed in the second particular position, and wherein the controller is further configured to perform:\n a scanning process to control the image scanner to scan the image of the document sheet on a line-by-line basis along the main scanning direction while controlling the conveyor to convey the document sheet in the conveyance direction, thereby acquiring scanned image data; and \n a correcting process comprising:\n when determining that the document sheet is being conveyed in the state rotated in the first direction, correcting the scanned image data by rotating the scanned image data by the skew angle in the second direction; and \n when determining that the document sheet is being conveyed in the state rotated in the second direction, correcting the scanned image data by rotating the scanned image data by the skew angle in the first direction.
