Abstract
When an original fed by an original feeding portion is mounted at a predetermined position on a platen glass, a scanner starts traveling in one direction from its home position, and scans the original. When the scanner completes scanning, the original read out is discharged, and the next original is fed. However, the scanner does not return to its home position. The scanner is held at the position. When the next original is mounted at a predetermined position, the scanner travels in a direction opposite to a direction for the previous original from the position to carry out scanning.
