Abstract
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.
