Estimating the term…
A sheet separation device that conveys a two-ply sheet in a state where the one side joined is located on an upstream side or a downstream side of the two-ply sheet in a conveyance direction, separates the two-ply sheet into the two sheets, and inserts an inner sheet from a non-joined side opposite the joined side in the sheet conveyance direction so that the inner sheet is sandwiched between the two sheets overlaid with each other includes a conveying roller pair including a pair of rollers and circuitry. The conveying roller pair conveys the two-ply sheet and holds a joined portion of in the two-ply sheet at which the two sheets are joined, at a nip portion of the conveying roller pair when the inner sheet is inserted into the two-ply sheet. The circuitry contacts the inner sheet against the joined portion of the two-ply sheet to perform skew correction.
A sheet separation device configured to convey a two-ply sheet, in which two sheets are overlaid with each other and joined at one side of four sides of the two-ply sheet, in a state where the one side joined is located on an upstream side or a downstream side of the two-ply sheet in a sheet conveyance direction, separate the two-ply sheet into the two sheets at an end opposite the one side joined, and insert an inner sheet from a non-joined side opposite the joined side in the sheet conveyance direction so that the inner sheet is sandwiched between the two sheets overlaid with each other, the sheet separation device comprising:
