Abstract
A media conveying apparatus includes: a pair of first defining members defining an upstream part of a conveyance path in a conveyance direction; a pair of second defining members defining a downstream part of the conveyance path in the conveyance direction; a first conveyor to convey a medium in the upstream part in the conveyance direction; a second conveyor to convey the medium in the downstream part in the conveyance direction; and a tray disposed downstream from the pair of second defining members in the conveyance direction. The tray stacks the medium ejected from the conveyance path. The pair of first defining members and the pair of second defining members are movable relative to each other in the conveyance direction to lengthen and shorten the conveyance path including the upstream part and the downstream part.
