Abstract

A sheet conveyance apparatus includes a first skew correcting portion, a second skew correcting portion, an acquisition unit, a control unit. The first skew correcting portion corrects skew of a sheet by abutting a leading edge of the sheet against the first roller pair to form a bend in the sheet. The second skew correcting portion corrects skew of a sheet by conveying the sheet with a turning motion. When a first sheet with a length of a first length is conveyed, the control unit corrects the skew of the first sheet by the second skew correcting portion. When a second sheet with a length of a second length longer than the first length is conveyed, the control unit corrects the skew of the second sheet by the first skew correcting portion, and configured not to correct the skew of the second sheet by the second skew correcting portion.
