Abstract

A sheet conveying apparatus includes a pair of regulating units both of which are movable in a width direction in a document placement unit, a detection processing unit that detects a separation distance between the pair of regulating units, a restriction processing unit that restricts execution of a specific process of conveying a document when a difference between the separation distance detected at a specific timing and a reference distance exceeds a threshold value, and a cancellation processing unit that cancels the restriction on execution of the specific process when the separation distance detected after the restriction on execution of the specific process by the restriction processing unit is the same as the separation distance detected before the detection timing of the separation distance and on or after the specific timing.
