Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes: a first conveyance roller pair configured to convey a sheet by rotating while tightly sandwiching the sheet; a rotation blade pair disposed on a downstream side of the first conveyance roller pair in a conveyance path of the sheet and configured to cut the sheet in a direction parallel to the conveyance direction by rotating while sandwiching the sheet; and a second conveyance roller pair configured to convey a cut waste sheet cut by the rotation blade pair in the sheet conveyance direction by rotating while tightly sandwiching the cut waste sheet. A rotational speed of the second conveyance roller pair is controlled at a rotational speed higher than a rotational speed of the first conveyance roller pair.
