Patent ID: 7305209

Claim:
An image forming device comprising: a transport path through which a sheet is transported, the transport path including a curved section having a curved shape, the curved section changing a transport direction of the sheet to be transported the transport path also including: a processing region for a processing section which performs a predetermined process with respect to the sheet; and a transport region for transporting the sheet to the processing region; a first resist section, provided in the transport region, correcting at least skewing of the sheet and delivering the sheet to the processing section in accordance with a timing of the process in the processing section; and a second resist section, provided in the transport region, correcting skewing of the sheet, wherein, out of the transport region and the processing region included in the transport path, a sheet being transported along the transport path from the second resist section to the first resist section passes through only the transport region, the curved section is provided between the first resist section and the second resist section and the second resist section performs a first resist correction of the sheet before a leading edge of the sheet enters the curved section, and the processing section is an image forming section which forms an image on the sheet.
