ABSTRACT:
A drive control mechanism for an image reader having a controller, to control a drive current impressed to a connected stepping motor such that the impression of the drive current is carried out in a prescribed number of steps, and a changer, to change a largest value of a drive current in response to a scanning speed of a reading device of the image reader. Consequently, smooth rotation with little torque ripple may be obtained through microstep driving, and by changing a largest drive current, control of a drive torque becomes easier, thus making it possible to maintain an even balance between load torque and drive vibration when a high-torque motor is used to eliminate slider vibration.
