The original reading apparatus has a digitizer function so that a partial reading region of the original is assigned and read out after operator's confirmation by direct observation from an upper side of the surface to be read of the original. A transparent plate on which is depicted reference coordinates for showing a readable region of the apparatus is provided in the vicinity of the original, and a position of the original is finely adjusted on the basis of the reference coordinates. A reading sensor and a carriage mechanism of the original reading apparatus are received in a rotatable upper cover of the apparatus. In case of a large size original, the information thereof is read without any fold or cut of the original.
