Patent ID: 8480079

Claim:
A sheet reversing apparatus comprising: a right angle reversing conveyance section which reverses front/back sides of a sheet while changing a conveyance direction of the sheet, being conveyed in a first conveyance direction, to a second conveyance direction perpendicular to the first conveyance direction; a sheet skew sensor which detects a sheet skew of the sheet being conveyed by the right angle reversing conveyance section; a sheet skew correction mechanism which corrects the sheet skew of the sheet while the sheet is being conveyed by the right angle reversing conveyance section; and a control section which controls a correction movement by the sheet skew correction mechanism based on a detection result of the sheet skew sensor, wherein the control section controls the sheet skew correction mechanism so as to correct only the sheet skew of the sheet which is conveyed in the right angle reversing conveyance section with lateral feeding by setting a long edge of the sheet at a leading edge of conveyance direction.
