Abstract:
1. A sheet adjusting device, comprising: a sheet setting plate configured to have a sheet set thereon; a first regulating member configured to be on the sheet setting plate along an upper face of the sheet setting plate and configured to be movable in an orthogonal direction perpendicular to a conveyance direction of the sheet, the first regulating member configured to regulate a first end of the sheet set on the sheet setting plate in the orthogonal direction to adjust a position of the first end of the sheet in the orthogonal direction; a second regulating member configured to face the first regulating member configured to regulate a second end of the sheet in the orthogonal direction to adjust a position of the second end of the sheet in the orthogonal direction; a drive transmission unit configured to transmit a driving power generated by a driving power source to at least the first regulating member to move the first regulating member in the orthogonal direction, the drive transmission unit including a torque limiting unit having a driven side transmission roller unit and a driving side transmission roller unit configured to stop the first regulating member moving on the sheet setting plate by cutting off transmission of the driving power between the driven side transmission roller unit and the driving side transmission roller unit when a torque exceeding a given threshold is applied to the driven side transmission roller unit; a detector configured to sense a movement of the driven side transmission roller unit; and a drive controller configured to,
