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 10):
The image scanner according to  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a mover configured to move the image sensor in the sub scanning direction; and a controller configured to control the image sensor to repeatedly perform the line scanning while controlling the mover to move the image sensor in the sub scanning direction, wherein the controller is further configured to, in response to the document detector becoming unable to detect the position of the lateral side, control the image scanner to stop repeatedly performing the line scanning
