Abstract

See full text

When a transport section transports be a media, a controller of an image reading apparatus determines the lengths of the media in the transport direction, based on detection results of a medium detector. When determining that a length of a medium is equal to or more than a threshold and then determining that a length of a subsequent medium is equal to or more than the threshold, the controller decreases an ejection speed of the subsequent medium to a second speed by the transport section. When determining that a length of a medium is equal to or more than the threshold and then determining that a length of a subsequent medium is less than the threshold, the controller decreases the ejection speed from the first speed to a third speed that is lower than the second speed by the transport section.
