Abstract

A conveyance apparatus includes a conveyance unit, a first storage unit, a second storage unit, a measurement unit, and a determination unit. The conveyance unit conveys paper. The first storage unit stores a width of standard paper. The width of the standard paper is a length in a direction crossing a conveyance direction of the paper conveyed by the conveyance unit. The second storage unit stores a user-registered paper width which is different from the width of the standard paper. The user-registered paper width is input by a user. The measurement unit measures a width of the paper. The determination unit determines, based on the measured width and the paper widths stored in the first storage unit and the second storage unit, a width to serve as the measured width.
