Abstract:
A sheet stacking part stacks sheets. A first roller applies a force in a conveyance direction to an uppermost sheet among sheets stacked on the sheet stacking part by rotating in a forward direction. A second roller is separated from the first roller on the downstream side in the conveyance direction. The second roller applies the force in the conveyance direction to the uppermost sheet by rotating in the forward direction. A controller controls rotation of the first roller and the second roller so that a second main operation is performed after a first main operation. The first main operation is an operation of rotating only the first roller of the first roller and the second roller in the forward direction. The second main operation is an operation of rotating both the first roller and the second roller in the forward direction.
