<p>A sheet material conveying apparatus has a conveying path (o) for directing sheet (p) materials supported on a supporting portion (1) one by one to an image processing position (31) and also directing them to a discharging portion (13) after the completion of image processing, and a reversing path (b,c) for containing a predetermined number of sheet materials (p) therein, and reversing the sheet materials and directing them to the image processing position (31). When the interval between the predetermined number of sheet materials to be directed into the reversing path (b,c) widens to such an extent that the sheet materials cannot be contained in the reversing path (b,c), preceding one of the sheet materials is decelerated or stopped in conformity with the widening to enable the predetermined number of sheets to be contained in the reversing path (b,c).</p> |
