Patent abstract
An image reading apparatus of the present invention is provided with a driving unit for supplying a driving force to a scanner module and for supplying a driving force to an ADF. Changeover between the driving force for the scanner module and the driving force for the ADF is carried out by moving the scanner module, where the driving force of the scanner module and the driving force for the ADF are supplied from a single driving force source. A low cost member is used for the changeover of driving force transmission where the same driving force source (motor) supplies necessary driving force for a fed document reading mode and for a stationary document reading mode. This lowers a cost of the apparatus.
