A sheet conveyance device for conveying a recording sheet in use with a coping machine. The sheet conveyance device includes a photoreceptor, having a moving surface, for holding a toner image; a photoreceptor driver for driving the moving surface of the photoreceptor at a first linear speed; an image forming device, including a latent image writer and a developer of the latent image with toner, for forming the toner image on the moving surface; a transferor for transferring the toner image from the moving surface onto the recording sheet at a transfer processing section; an intermediate conveyance device for conveying the recording sheet from the transfer processing section to a conveyance unit; and the conveyance unit, having a unit body, for conveying the recording sheet from the intermediate conveyance device to outside of the coping machine. The intermediate conveyance device further includes a conveying roller for conveying the recording sheet; and a conveying roller driver for driving the conveying roller at a second linear speed; in which the second linear speed of the conveying roller is higher than the first linear speed of the moving surface of the photoreceptor.
