Abstract
An image reading method has a first moving step, a first determining step and a second determining step. In the first moving step, the reading head moves to a detection position by a predetermined distance from a position, at which a first document is detected, while the reading head does not perform any reading processing. In the first determining step, the size and layout of the first document is determined based on the result of reading processing at the detection position. In the second determining step, whether or not a second document exists at the detection position is determined based on the result of the reading processing at the detection position, and then the size and layout of the second document is determined.
