Abstract
A conveyance apparatus includes a conveyance unit, a first cursor, a second cursor, and a controller. The conveyance unit conveys a sheet in a first direction.

A conveyance apparatus comprising:
- a conveyance unit that conveys a sheet in a first direction;
- a first cursor that regulates movement of the sheet in a second direction intersecting the first direction;
- a second cursor that presses the sheet against the first cursor;
- a controller that includes a processor and controls a speed at which the second cursor positioned away from the sheet moves toward the sheet by executing a control program by the processor;
- and
- a detection unit that detects a buckling load of the sheet,
- wherein the controller decreases the speed as the buckling load detected by the detection unit decreases.
