Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes low and high resolution imaging portions, a data generating portion, first and second reading portions, and a reading control portion. The first reading portion acquires, from the high resolution imaging portion, as output data for one pixel, data acquired by n-number of light receiving elements adjacent to each other in a main scanning direction in the high resolution imaging portion. The second reading portion acquires output data from light receiving elements arranged in the main scanning direction from a start position displaced by a distance corresponding to m times a second pitch in the main scanning direction from a first reference position in the high resolution imaging portion, where m is an integer. The reading control portion executes a reading operation for a document by the low and high resolution imaging portions, selecting the first reading portion or selecting both of the reading portions.
