Abstract
A reading apparatus includes a reader that obtains image data by reading a reading target, a platen on which a document to be read by the reader located at a first position is set, a first member read by the reader located at the first position if there is no document on the platen, a second member read by the reader located at a second position, which is different from the first position, and a determination unit that performs a determination process for determining whether the document is set on the platen on the basis of a first output, which is obtained if the reader located at the first position reads the reading target, and a second output, which is obtained if the reader located at the second position reads the reading target.
