An image reading apparatus is composed of an image input unit for obtaining multi-valued image data by reading an image optically; an image processing unit for performing image processing including screen processing on the multi-valued image data obtained by the image input unit; a data converting unit for converting image data obtained by the image processing of the image processing unit into a form that is described in a page description language; and an image output unit for outputting image data obtained by the conversion of the data converting unit to the outside.

Image reading apparatus

An image reader provided with an image pick-up unit which reads an image in a fast scanning direction in accordance with a fast scanning synchronizing signal, a drive unit which causes the image pick-up unit to move in a slow scanning direction in accordance with a drive control signal asynchronous with the fast scanning synchronizing signal, an intermittent read instruction unit which generates a stop instruction and a restart instruction for allowing the image reading to be performed intermittently by the image pick-up unit, a phase holding unit which, upon issuance of a stop instruction, recognizes and holds a phase difference between the fast scanning synchronizing signal and the drive control signal, and a phase control unit which, upon issuance of a restart instruction, corrects a phase difference between the fast scanning synchronizing signal and the drive control signal on the basis of the phase difference recognized and held by the phase holding unit. According to this image reader, the occurrence of an image quality trouble such as an image displacement at an image joint portion is prevented in an intermittent image data reading operation.
