Abstract:
An image reading apparatus, a control method, and a control program for forcibly moving the unit provided so as to be moved by the document to be conveyed at an appropriate timing. The image reading apparatus includes a first unit fixed to the image reading apparatus, a second unit movably provided between a first position facing the first unit and a second position facing the first unit and more separated from the first unit than the first position, a guide provided such that the second unit moves by a document to be conveyed for guiding the document between the first unit and the second unit, an image capturing device provided on one of the first unit or the second unit for capturing an image of a document guided by the guide, a drive force generating device for generating first drive force for moving the second unit, and a control module for causing the drive force generating device to generate the first drive force when the document is not conveyed.

Claim (Index 4):
The image reading apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein\n the image capturing device captures a first image and a second image; the image reading apparatus further comprises:\n a reference member provided to a unit facing a unit provided with the image capturing device in the first unit or the second unit; \n the processor\n determines whether a foreign object is present in the first image, and \n determines whether a position where the foreign object is present is on the image capturing device side or on the reference member side based on an absolute value of a difference between a gradation value of an area where the foreign object is present in the first image and a gradation value of an area corresponding to the area where the foreign object is present in the second image, when the foreign object is present in the first image; and \n the first image is an image obtained by capturing an image of the reference member by setting the second unit at one of the first position or the second position, and the second image is an image obtained by capturing an image of the reference member by setting the second unit at the other of the first position or the second position.
