Abstract
A sheet conveyance apparatus includes a first roller pair, a second roller pair, an abutment portion, an oblique feeding portion, a detection portion, a moving portion a contact/separation portion, and a control portion. If a first sheet whose length is a first length is conveyed, the control portion causes the moving portion to move the first roller pair, and then causes the first sheet to be conveyed from the first roller pair to the oblique feeding portion through the second roller pair that is in the separation state, and if a second sheet whose length is a second length shorter than the first length is conveyed, the control portion causes the moving portion to move the first roller pair, and then causes the second sheet to be conveyed from the first roller pair to the oblique feeding portion via the second roller pair that is in the contact state.
