Abstract
A document conveying apparatus is provided with a document tray, a feeding member, and a discharge tray disposed below the document tray. The document tray includes an upper tray member, a lower tray member, a movable tray member movable in a width direction orthogonal to a feeding direction of a document, a tray cover disposed to cover an underside of the movable tray member, and a driving portion. The driving portion moves the upper tray member and the movable tray member integrally to a raised position and a lowered position. The movable tray member and the tray cover are configured to be moved integrally in the width direction between a first position in which the movable tray member supports the document together with the upper tray member and a second position in which the movable tray member is retracted from the first position into below the upper tray member.
