Abstract
A sheet conveying apparatus has a first pair of conveying rollers which nip and convey a sheet, a reference surface provided along the sheet conveying direction, a second and third pair of rotary members, which, obliquely with respect to the sheet conveying direction, conveys the sheet so as to contact the side edge of the sheet to the reference surface, a switching unit which switches the first pair of rotary members between a state of nipping the sheet and a state of nip releasing the sheet, a controller which, after controlling the second pair of rotary member and the third pair of rotary members to nip the sheet nipped by the first pair of rotary members, controls the switching unit to release nip of the sheet by the first pair of rotary members. There is no pair of rotary members that conveys the sheet in the sheet conveying direction between the second pair of rotary members and the third pair of rotary members in the sheet conveying direction.
