Abstract
A sheet conveyance apparatus includes a drive source, a conveyance portion, a transmission mechanism configured to switch between a first state and a second state, a load detection portion configured to detect a load acting on the drive source, and a control portion configured to control the drive source and the transmission mechanism. The control portion is configured to change, on a basis of a detection result of the load detection portion, a timing in the conveyance operation at which a control signal for switching the transmission mechanism from the first state to the second state is issued, the timing being changed in accordance with a delay time from when the control signal is issued to when change in the load corresponding to the switching of the transmission mechanism from the first state to the second state appears.
