Abstract

A multifunction apparatus includes a transporting unit that transports the document, a reading unit that irradiates the document passing through a reading position with light and reads reflected light so as to generate image information representing an edge of the document and an image of the document, an inclination amount calculating unit that calculates an inclination amount of the document on the basis of the image information; a first inclination correcting unit that corrects an inclination of the image represented by the image information, on the basis of the inclination amount of the document, so as to generate new image information representing the image whose inclination is corrected, and a controller that prevents, in a transmission mode for transmitting image information, the first inclination correcting unit from performing an image inclination correction operation, and transmits a facsimile signal on the basis of the image information generated by the reading unit.
