Abstract
A color reading apparatus in which reflection light from a read-target medium is read on a line-by-line basis for each color of red, green, blue by a monochromatic line image sensor. The color reading apparatus performs a color reading operation while the relative position between the read-target medium and the monochromatic line image sensor is changed by a feeding apparatus. The color reading apparatus includes a feed control device that stops a driving source of the feeding apparatus at the completion time of a one-line color reading operation composed of one-line reading operations for red, green and blue colors when a reading operation for a read-target medium is temporarily interrupted.
