Abstract:
A sheet transport apparatus according to an embodiment includes a roller having a surface formed from an elastic material. The roller transports a sheet. A rotation mechanism rotated the roller around an axis of the roller. A twist mechanism selectively twists the roller with respect to the axis. When the roller is twisted and the rotation mechanism rotates the roller, a sheet transported by the roller is transported in a first direction perpendicular to the axis and in a second direction parallel to the axis. When the roller is not twisted and the rotation mechanism rotates the roller, a sheet transported by the roller is transported in the first direction and not in the second direction.

Claim (Index 15):
The apparatus according to  claim 14 , wherein:\n the surface of the roller includes an uneven surface, and at least one groove is formed on the uneven surface, the at least one groove extending along the axis when the roller is not twisted.
