1. A reading apparatus, comprising:
a document placement table having a placement surface, on which a document is placeable, on one side thereof;
a cover covering peripheries of the document placement table from the side of the document placement table having the placement surface;
a reader located on a side of the document placement table opposite to the placement surface, the reader having a plurality of photoreceivers arrayed along a main scanning direction being parallel to the placement surface, the reader being movable in a sub-scanning direction, the sub-scanning direction being parallel to the placement surface and orthogonal to the main scanning direction, the reader being configured to read an image of a readable object through the photoreceivers receiving light reflected off the readable object; and
a controller,
wherein the cover has, on a facing surface thereof that faces the reader, a reference section having a first edge extending in the sub-scanning direction and a second edge extending in the main scanning direction, and a colored part on peripheries of the reference section, the colored part being colored along the first edge and along the second edge, and
wherein the controller is configured to:
operate the reader to read the colored part and peripheries of the colored part,
detect a first position being a position of the first edge in the main scanning direction and a second position being a position of the second edge in the sub-scanning direction in an outcome of reading of the colored part and the peripheries of the colored part, and
determine a reading range in the document to be read by the reader based on the first position and the second position.
