    摘要: A document conveying device includes a document tray, a first rotary member, a first motor, a second rotary member, a second motor, a document feed sensor, and a controller. The controller counts a counted time from the time point that the first motor starts to rotate until the leading end of a document reaches the document feed sensor. When the time resulting from subtracting the counted time from a required sheet-to-sheet time interval is longer than the required speed change time, the controller performs deceleration and post-deceleration acceleration for the first motor. The required speed change time is the time required for speed change from the first rotation speed to the second rotation speed.

    摘要: A sheet conveying device includes a separation member, a second conveyance member, a third conveyance member, and a first drive control portion. The separation member separates a sheet in contact with a first conveyance member from another at a first position where the first conveyance member comes into contact with the sheet. The second and third conveyance members are respectively downstream of the first and second positions. The first drive control portion stops driving the first conveyance member (1) after the leading edge of the sheet reaches the second position and before the trailing edge of the sheet passes through the first position when the sheet length is not exceeding a specific distance based on a distance between the first and third positions and (2) after the leading edge reaches the third position and before the trailing edge passes through the first position when the length exceeds the specific distance.
