Abstract:
A sheet conveying device, which is included in an image forming apparatus, includes a plurality of position detectors, a leading end detector, and a position adjuster. The plurality of position detectors is configured to detect a position of a sheet. The leading end detector is configured to detect a leading end of the sheet. The position adjuster is configured to, based on a detection result obtained by the plurality of position detectors, rotate in a rotation direction of the sheet within a plane of conveyance of the sheet to change the position of the sheet the position adjuster grips the sheet under conveyance to cause the leading end detector to rotate with the position adjuster in the rotation direction of the sheet within the plane of conveyance of the sheet.

Claim (Index 17):
The sheet conveying device according to  claim 16 , further comprising:\n another leading end detector downstream of the leading end detector in the sheet conveying direction, wherein the circuitry is further configured to perform a speed correction operation by,\n receiving an indication that said another leading end detector has detected the leading end of the sheet after performing the secondary correction operation, and \n changing a conveying speed of the sheet based on the indication from said another leading end detector.
