The automatic skew adjusting apparatus comprises a driving source, an actuating part arranged on a driving shaft of the driving source so that the actuating part can be selectively connected with one of the skew adjusting parts depending on a position of the driving source. The actuating part actuates the connected skew adjusting part as the driving shaft rotates. A positioning part moves the driving source and a power transmission part transmits or cuts off the power of the driving source to the positioning part so as to move the driving source or stop the movement of the driving source.
