Abstract

See full text

A carrier sheet detecting unit is located upstream a reading unit in a transport direction in which transport is performed, and can detect a carrier sheet transported. Then, a control unit can determine that the carrier sheet is transported based on a detection result of the carrier sheet detecting unit. Additionally, the reading unit can read an original document sandwiched by the carrier sheet transported, the control unit can determine that the carrier sheet is transported based on a reading result of the reading unit. Then, the control unit switches between adopting the detection result of the carrier sheet detecting unit and adopting the reading result of the reading unit, and determines that the carrier sheet is transported.
