Abstract

See full text

An outer peripheral member disposed at an outer periphery of a platen glass includes first and second reference surfaces. The first reference surface is a lower surface of an area extending along a side edge portion of the platen glass at an end in a main scanning direction. The second reference surface is located adjacent to the first reference surface in a second direction and differs in light reflectance from the first reference surface. An image processing portion determines whether outer periphery pixel data of an outer periphery area in line image data acquired successively while a scanning unit is moving, satisfies a border condition. A unit driving portion positions the scanning unit to a home position by moving the scanning unit a predetermined distance from where the scanning unit is located when it is determined that the outer periphery pixel data satisfies the border condition, and stops it.
