Abstract

A media conveying apparatus includes a feed roller, a first conveyance roller, a second conveyance roller, a motor, and a sensor. The circuitry determines whether a trailing end of each medium of media has passed the second conveyance roller and executes alignment of a leading end of the each medium at a position of the first conveyance roller. The circuitry stops the first conveyance roller or rotates the first conveyance roller in a reverse direction and controls the feed roller to align a leading end of a first medium among the media in a case where the circuitry determines that a trailing end of a second medium among the media preceding the first medium has passed the second conveyance roller when the sensor detects the leading end of the first medium.
