Abstract:
An image scanner includes a document detector configured to, each time line scanning is repeated a predetermined number of times, perform an edge detecting process to detect a position of a lateral side extending in a sub scanning direction from a non-reference corner of a sheet, in the edge detecting process performed for a first time, set a position of the non-reference corner in a main scanning direction as a detection reference position, in the edge detecting process performed for a second or later time, set a previously-detected position of the lateral side in the main scanning direction as the detection reference position, and in each edge detecting process, set a detection range in the main scanning direction on the basis of the detection reference position, and detect a specific pixel corresponding to the lateral side in the main scanning direction within the detection range in the main scanning direction.

Claim (Index 7):
The image scanner according to  claim 6 ,\n wherein the document detector is further configured to:\n when the second density is more than a particular threshold, detect, as the position of the lateral side, a position shifted outward of the sheet in the main scanning direction from the previous position of the lateral side detected in the previous edge detecting process; and \n when the third density is more than a specific threshold, detect, as the position of the lateral side, a position shifted inward of the sheet in the main scanning direction from the previous position of the lateral side detected in the previous edge detecting process.
