Abstract
An original device includes an image reader having a guide surface for guiding an image surface of an original for reading an image on the original being guided by the guide surface. A first feeder feeds the original while pressing the original against the guide surface of the image reader. A driver drives the first feeder, and a second feeder is provided downstream of the first feeder in an original feeding direction for feeding the original fed by the first feeder. Control circuitry is provided for controlling the driver such that the first feeder is stopped before a trailing edge of the original fed by the second feeder has passed through an area between the first feeder and the image reader. By thus stopping the first feeder, undue wear on the first feeder and the guide surface is prevented.
