    Abstract: When an image on an original document placed on the original document table is scanned, a scanning device is moved along the original document table, starting from a first position, while an image on the original document fed by the automatic document feeder is scanned, the scanning device located at a second position. When an original document sensor detects the original document at a particular position in the automatic document feeder, the scanning device is moved to the second position, while when the original document sensor does not detect the original document at the particular position after scanning of the original document placed on the original document table has completed and before the scanning device is returned to the first position, the scanning device is located at the first position, on condition that the controller executes the first scanning process and a continuous scanning mode is effected.
