Abstract:
A sheet conveying device, which is incorporated in an image forming apparatus, includes a first detector to detect an angle deviation of a recording medium to a sheet conveying direction, a second detector to detect a lateral shift of the recording medium to a width direction, a third detector to detect at least one of the angle deviation and the lateral shift after correction of the angle deviation detected by the first detector and the lateral shift detected by the second detector, and a rotary body to perform a primary movement by (1) rotating in the sheet conveying direction and returning to a reference position and by (2) moving in the width direction and returning to the reference position, and a secondary movement by performing at least one of (1) and (2) after the primary movement.

Claim (Index 1):
A sheet conveying device comprising:\n a sheet conveyer configured to convey a sheet; an upstream detector configured to detect at least a side edge of the sheet; a downstream detector positioned downstream from the upstream detector in a sheet conveying direction, the downstream detector configured to detect the side edge of the sheet; and a corrector positioned, in the sheet conveying direction, downstream from the upstream detector and upstream from at least one sensor associated with the downstream detector, the corrector configured to configured to correct a deviation of the sheet based on a position detected by the upstream detector and the downstream detector.
