An image reading apparatus includes a first posture detection unit that detects a first posture that is a posture of the apparatus main body when not in use, a second posture detection unit that detects a second posture that is a posture of the apparatus main body when in use, and a posture change detection unit that detects a change in a posture of the apparatus main body. When the first posture detection unit detects a switchover of the apparatus main body to the first posture in a first power supply mode in which power is supplied to the first posture detection unit, the second posture detection unit, and the posture change detection unit, the first power supply mode transitions to the second power supply mode in which a controller supplies power to only the posture change detection unit.

Image reading apparatus with rotatable main body

An image reading apparatus is configured to be connected to an external terminal via a network. The image reading apparatus includes a transmitter, a reading section, and a controller. The controller executes an image generation process of generating a single first image file from image data of a document read by the reading section and causes the transmitter to transfer the first image file to the external terminal connected via the network. The controller executes a compression rate determination process of determining a compression rate of a second image file in the image generation process based on a transfer rate of the network when the first image file is transferred to the external terminal and a reading rate of the reading section.
