ABSTRACT:
An image reader includes a document table (2) having a platen plate (3) placed on an upper surface of the document table (2); a document table cover (4) supported at an upper end of the document table (2) in a pivotable manner; a first image sensor (5) which is provided in the document table (2) and is actuated in parallel with the platen plate (3) by means of a sensor drive mechanism (6); a document moving mechanism for causing the document to move along a document transport path (9) formed in the document table cover (4); and a second image sensor (20) fixed to the document table cover (4) so as to be situated at a position above the document transport path (9). A track of the document, which moves through the document transport path (9), passes through a focal point (scan point) of the first image sensor (5) achieved when the first image sensor (5) is situated at a standby position.
