Abstract

An image reading apparatus includes a casing having inlet and outlet openings which are formed in a front side wall of the casing. An image reading section is arranged in the casing near a rear side wall of the casing. Originals inserted into the casing through the inlet opening are fed by a feeding mechanism to the reading section one by one while being turned by a guide in the casing. The originals passed through the reading section are discharged out of the casing through the outlet opening by a discharging mechanism.
