Abstract
A document sheet length detection portion detects document sheets placed on a tray while distinguishing between a first size document sheet whose length in a conveyance direction is equal to or longer than a reference length, and a second size document sheet whose length in the conveyance direction is shorter than the reference length. A selection portion selects, as a specified conveyance process, one of a first conveyance process and a second conveyance process. A control portion, after a predetermined start event occurs, causes a conveyance device to execute the second conveyance process when the second conveyance process has been selected as the specified conveyance process and the document sheet length detection portion has detected the first size document sheet, and causes the conveyance device to execute the first conveyance process when a number of document sheets conveyed during the second conveyance process has reached an upper-limit number.
