An image reading apparatus includes an image reading part that reads an image formed on a recording medium, an accommodating unit that accommodates the image reading part and supports the image reading part in such a manner that the image reading part is capable of being displaced toward a side on which the recording medium is to be disposed, and an urging member that urges, in the accommodating unit, the image reading part toward the side on which the recording medium is to be disposed. The accommodating unit includes an urging-member-mounting portion in which the urging member is mounted, and at least one window is formed in the urging-member-mounting portion on a side opposite to a side on which the image reading part is disposed.

Provided is a handheld scanner. The handheld scanner includes one or more UVC LED elements and a processor configured to execute one or more instructions, wherein the processor is configured to, by executing the one or more instructions, control the one or more UVC LED elements to be turned on in response to detecting a first event, and control the one or more UVC LED elements to be turned off in response to detecting a second event while the one or more UVC LED elements are turned on to operate.

In an image processing apparatus according to the present disclosure, a printing system includes a movement detection unit that detects scanning, which is movement in a first direction, and an operation of making a line break, which is movement in a second direction crossing the first direction, of a printing apparatus main body that includes a printing unit that performs printing on a printing medium. The printing system further includes a notification unit that selectively makes first notification that prompts scanning along with printing by the printing unit, second notification that prompts scanning along with no printing by the printing unit, and third notification that prompts the operation of making a line break, in accordance with a detection result of the printing unit.
