Abstract
A reading apparatus includes a reading unit that reads a document, a transport path, an output path for outputting the document read by the reading unit, a display unit that displays a setup screen, and a control unit configured to control the reading unit and the display unit. The output path includes a first output path and a second output path that separately lead to different document output destinations, and the output path is formed such that a use path used to output the document is changed between the first output path and the second output path. The control unit is configured to obtain path information indicating the use path and a reading setup. The control unit is configured to, based on the reading setup and the path information, cause the display unit to display a suggestion indication suggesting changing the reading setup or suggesting changing the use path.
