Abstract:
A sheet conveying apparatus includes: a first pair of conveying rollers for conveying a sheet; a second pair of conveying rollers against which the leading edge of the sheet conveyed by the first pair of conveying rollers is hit and which conveys the sheet together with the first pair of conveying rollers by rotating after a loop is formed on the sheet; a separating portion for separating the first pair of conveying rollers; a first conveyance path for guiding the sheet; a second conveyance path which is a path different from the first conveyance path and guides the sheet; and a controller which changes a separation timing at which the first pair of conveying rollers is separated after the loop is formed on the sheet, depending on whether the sheet is guided by the first conveyance path or by the second conveyance path.

Claim (Index 21):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 20 , wherein in a case of conveying a first sheet having a first length which is longer than a fourth length, the separator switches the second pair of conveying rollers to a separating status from an abutting status thereof at a first timing,\n wherein in a case of conveying a second sheet having a second length which is longer than the fourth length and shorter than a fifth length, the separator switches the second pair of conveying rollers to a separating status from an abutting status thereof at a second timing, wherein the fourth length is a length of a conveying path from the first pair of conveying rollers to the third pair of conveying rollers, and wherein the fifth length is a length of a conveying path from the first pair of conveying rollers to the transfer portion.
