Abstract:
1. An image forming apparatus comprising: an image forming device to form an image on a surface of a sheet of recording media; a sheet adjusting device positioned upstream from the image forming device to adjust a lateral position of the sheet by moving the sheet in a lateral direction perpendicular to a sheet conveyance direction, the sheet adjusting device comprising: a controller operatively connected to the sheet adjusting device to drive the driving unit, the controller causing the moving unit to move the driving roller in one of a first direction toward one axial end of the driving roller and a second direction toward the other axial end of the driving roller for adjusting a position of the sheet interposed between the driving roller and the driven roller laterally, and then adjusting the lateral position of the driven roller with respect to the driving roller by moving the driving roller in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction until the driven roller in misregistration with respect to the driving roller laterally contacts the stoppers with the sheet separated from the driving roller and the driven roller and then by moving the driving roller in the second direction to a predetermined position with the driven roller remaining in contact with the stoppers.
