IMAGE SCANNER

An image scanner is configured to: while changing a reading position by a position changer and sequentially emitting light of each of three colors in a turn-on sequence from a light source to a document, control a line sensor to read reflection light of emitted light, thereby acquiring gradation image data including gradation values of three colors for each pixel in one line; determine whether a top color shift occurs in the gradation image data at a determination position; in response to determining that the top color shift occurs at the determination position, replace gradation image data at the determination position with black image data; determine whether a bottom color shift occurs in the gradation image data at the determination position; and in response to determining that the bottom color shift occurs at the determination position, replace gradation image data at the determination position with white image data.
