A scanner includes an apparatus main body, a stand, and a switching mechanism. The apparatus main body includes a transport unit that transports a document along a transport path, and a reading unit that reads an image of the document. The stand supports the apparatus main body. The switching mechanism switches the posture of the apparatus main body with respect to the stand so that the transport path extends along an intersecting direction intersecting an installation surface. The switching mechanism includes a switching motor that imparts a driving force to the apparatus main body when switching the posture. The switching motor is located inside the apparatus main body on the lower side of the transport path in the vertical direction.
