Abstract
An image reading-out apparatus provided at least with a document table made of a transparent material that passes an image reading light beam and having a flat surface on which a document can be set and a cover that presses the document set on the document table and prevents the image reading light beam from leakage includes a display/edition unit. The display/edition unit has a display section having a large area for displaying an image that has been read-out via the image reading light beam and an edition-operation menu for the image, a command entering section for entering an edition operation command by a touch to the read-out image displayed on the display unit, and a control section that controls displaying of the read-out image and the edition operation command and entering of the edition operation command by a touch. The display/edition unit is provided at a position so as not to obstruct the cover from depressing the document and preventing the image reading light beam from leakage.
