Abstract:
An image reading apparatus includes a conveying unit to convey a document, first and second reading units, a reception unit, a selection unit, and a setting unit. The first reading unit generates image data form a document first side and the second reading unit generates image data from a second side in parallel with the first reading unit reading. The reception unit receives settings regarding a size, an orientation, and a document opening direction of the document. The selection unit selects either a first reading method causing the first and second reading units to read per the set size, and a second reading method causing the first reading unit to read the first side per the set size and causing the second reading unit to read an entire second side. The setting unit sets image data corresponding to the document second side reading by the second reading method.

Claim (Index 13):
A control method for controlling an image reading apparatus, the control method comprising:\n conveying a document; generating, via a first reading unit, image data by reading an image on a first side of the conveyed document; generating, via a second reading unit, image data by reading an image on a second side of the conveyed document, where the second reading unit is able to read the document in parallel with the first reading unit reading of the document; receiving settings regarding a size, an orientation, and an opening direction of the document from a user; selecting, based on the settings received regarding the orientation and the opening direction of the document, either of a first reading method for causing the first and second reading units to read images on the first and second sides, respectively, of the document according to the size of the document set by the user from a front end of the conveyed document, and a second reading method for causing the first reading unit to read an image on the first side of the document according to the size of the document set by the user from the front end of the conveyed document and for causing the second reading unit to read an entire second side of the conveyed document; and setting, as valid image data, image data corresponding to the size of the document from a rear end of image data obtained by reading the second side of the document by the selected second reading method.
