The first conveyance roller is made of a material that causes a speed of the sheet conveyed by the first conveyance roller in contact with the first conveyance roller to be higher than a rotation speed of the first conveyance roller. The second conveyance roller is made of a material that causes a speed of the sheet conveyed by the second conveyance roller in contact with the second conveyance roller to be lower than a rotation speed of the second conveyance roller.
