Abstract:
A sheet conveying device, which is included in an image forming apparatus and a post processing device, includes multiple position detectors and a position corrector. The multiple position detectors are aligned along a sheet conveying direction and configured to detect a side end of a sheet. The position corrector is configured to convey the sheet and correct a position of the sheet based on a positional deviation amount of the sheet, obtained by a detection result of the multiple position detectors. The positional deviation amount of the sheet is obtained by an extreme downstream position detector in the sheet conveying direction, of the multiple position detectors. A position of a subsequent sheet is corrected based on a sum of the positional deviation amount of the sheet and a positional deviation amount of the subsequent sheet.

Claim (Index 5):
The sheet conveying device according to  claim 4 , further comprising a trailing end detection sensor configured to detect a trailing end of the sheet,\n wherein either one of the primary correction and the secondary correction is performed by a sum of a positional deviation amount of the sheet obtained by the detection result of the second positional detector and the third positional detector after the trailing end detection sensor has detected the trailing end of the sheet and a positional deviation amount of a subsequent sheet conveyed after the sheet, obtained by either one of the first detection and the second detection.
