Abstract:
A first gear is arranged at an end of a first roller and rotatable together with the first roller. A second roller nips a sheet with the first roller and conveys the sheet to a print engine. The second roller is movable to change a distance between an axis of the first roller and an axis of the second roller. A second gear is arranged at an end of the second roller and rotatable together with the second roller. An urging member urges the second roller toward the first roller. A drive gear has gear teeth. The drive gear is rotatable by receiving driving force from a motor. A first drive transmission part transmits driving force from the drive gear to the first gear not through the second gear. A second drive transmission part transmits driving force from the drive gear to the second gear not through the first gear.
