<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sheet conveying apparatus capable of striking a balance between a high-speed handling and a stable conveyance of sheets, and to provide a method of controlling the sheet conveying apparatus, and an information reader. <P>SOLUTION: The sheet conveying apparatus includes a feeding section for feeding a plurality of sheets sequentially sheet by sheet toward a conveying path; a conveying section for conveying the sheets from the feeding section along the conveying path; a feeding speed control section for controlling a sheet feeding speed V<SB POS="POST">f</SB>of the feeding section and a sheet feeding speed V<SB POS="POST">m</SB>of the conveying section; and a feeding mode switching control section for switching a first feeding mode of setting a sheet feeding speed ratio of the feeding section and the conveying section to C<SB POS="POST">1</SB>=V<SB POS="POST">f</SB>/V<SB POS="POST">m</SB>and a second feeding mode less in the sheet feeding amount than the first feeding mode and setting the sheet feeding speed ratio of the feeding section and the conveying section to C<SB POS="POST">2</SB>=V<SB POS="POST">f'</SB>/V<SB POS="POST">m'</SB>. When the feeding mode switching control section switches from the first feeding mode to the second feeding mode, the feeding speed control section controls the sheet feeding speed ratio of the feeding section and the conveying section from C<SB POS="POST">1</SB>to C<SB POS="POST">2</SB>. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
