By receiving driving force from a single driving source, each roller included in the image reading apparatus conveys the sheet along with the conveyance path in order. Each roller includes a feed roller, a separation roller, a conveyance roller, and a delivery roller. The reader included in the image reading apparatus obtains images on the sheet passing through the reading position which is set on the conveyance path.
