Abstract
The present invention provides an image scanning apparatus having an illuminating device which irradiates illumination, an imaging element which has a light receiving part for receiving light and for generating signal charges, in which the light is an illumination irradiated from the illuminating device and influenced by the original, and has a transfer part for transferring the signal charges, and a controlling device which indicates timings at a predetermined state used to transfer signal charges generated by the light receiving part of the imaging element. In addition, the present invention provides an image scanning apparatus having an illuminating device, an imaging device which reads out signal charges generated by the light receiving part and outputs the signal charges as image data of the original, and a controlling device that prohibits illumination from irradiating in the illuminating device while image data of the original is output from the imaging device.
