  • Patent number: 11970359
    Abstract: A sheet conveying apparatus may comprise a first conveying roller configured to convey a sheet and a second conveying roller disposed on a downstream side of the first conveying roller in a conveyance direction of the sheet. In a case where the second conveying roller rotates at a first speed by a driving force being transmitted to the second conveying roller, the first conveying roller rotates by being driven with respect to the second conveying roller. In a case where the second conveying roller rotates at a second speed faster than the first speed by the driving force being transmitted to the second conveying roller, the first conveying roller rotates at the second speed.
