ABSTRACT:
An image reading apparatus having an image sensor for slips and an image sensor for card-type media is configured to switch operation between the two image sensors quickly and efficiently. The slip image sensor reads slips conveyed through a first transportation path to acquire image data from the slips. The card-type image sensor reads cards conveyed through a second transportation path to acquire image data from the cards. An active device selector selects, according to a change active scanner (change operation) command sent from a host computer, one or the other of the image sensors as the active image sensor to be driven. These control operations are also embodied in a control method for such an image reading apparatus.
