Abstract
A transport apparatus includes a transport device, a detention device, a reversing device, and a switching device. The transport device sequentially transports sheets, each having an image formed on an upper face thereof, from an image forming apparatus in a predetermined direction. The detention device accommodates therein the sheet delivered from the transport device. The reversing device reverses upper and lower faces of the sheet delivered from the transport device. The switching device switches a destination of the sheet from the transport device, between the detention device and the reversing device. The reversing device includes a reversed sheet supply route through which the reversed sheet is supplied to the image forming apparatus, and a delivery route through which the reversed sheet is discharged.
