Abstract:
A sheet conveying device, which is included in an image forming apparatus, includes a drive device, a pair of sheet holding rollers to convey a sheet in a sheet conveying direction, a gate to which a leading end of the sheet contacts, a first detector disposed upstream from the pair of sheet holding rollers to detect a position of the sheet and a second detector disposed downstream from the pair of sheet holding rollers to detect a position of the sheet. The pair of sheet holding rollers performs a primary correction to detect and correct a lateral displacement amount of the sheet by moving the pair of sheet holding rollers while holding the sheet, and then performs a secondary correction to detect and correct at least one of a subsequent lateral displacement of the sheet and an angular displacement of the sheet.

Claim (Index 7):
The sheet conveying device according to  claim 5 ,\n wherein the pair of sheet holding rollers is a pair of registration rollers configured to convey the sheet at a synchronized time toward an image forming area, and wherein the downstream side sheet conveying roller is a transfer roller configured to contact an image bearer in the image forming area.
