Abstract

See full text

The document conveying apparatus includes a document tray, a butted part with which leading edges of a plurality of documents stacked on the document tray are butted, a roller for conveying a document stacked at a lowermost position, a pressurizing module for pressurizing, from above, the documents stacked on the document tray, a separator, a first detector, provided between the butted part and the separator in a document conveying direction, for detecting a conveyed document, and a control module for causing the pressurizing module to pressurize the documents stacked on the document tray and causing the roller to rotate with a first speed until the first detector detects a document. In a case where the first detector detects a document, the control module reduces a force with which the pressurizing module pressurizes the documents and causes the roller to rotate with a second speed slower than the first speed.
