Abstract
An apparatus for conveying a recording medium includes first and second rollers which define a common area through which the recording medium is conveyed. The first and second rollers contact the recording medium in the common area and rotate in concert to convey the recording medium from the common area. A cam leverages the second roller to vary an amount of nonzero force applied to the recording medium in the common area.
