1. An image reading apparatus comprising:
a reading section configured to read an image from an original document; and
a control section configured to perform control related to image reading, wherein
the control section is configured to perform control in any one of a plurality of types of modes,
the plurality of types of modes include a low output mode and a high output mode,
the low output mode is a mode configured to be controlled in a coupling state where a low power-feeding USB device configured to feed power of a power value included within a low power range is coupled,
the high output mode is a mode configured to be controlled in a coupling state where a high power-feeding USB device configured to feed power of a power value included within a high power range higher than the low power range is coupled,
the reading section is configured to read an image at either a first reading speed or a second reading speed faster than the first reading speed,
the control section is configured not to perform image reading at the second reading speed and to perform image reading at the first reading speed in the low output mode, and
the control section is configured to perform image reading at the first reading speed and the second reading speed in the high output mode.
