Sheet carrying device

A sheet carrying device comprising:

• a first sheet carrying unit which nips a sheet between a first rotating body and a second rotating body having a different coefficient of friction from the first rotating body and thus carries the sheet in a traveling direction;
• a second sheet carrying unit which nips the sheet between a third rotating body and a fourth rotating body having a different coefficient of friction from the third rotating body and thus carries the sheet in the traveling direction together with the first sheet carrying unit;
• and
• a control unit which controls the carrying by the first sheet carrying unit and the carrying by the second sheet carrying unit on the basis of a result of detection from a detection unit which detects an inclination of the sheet that is traveling.

An image forming apparatus comprising:

• an image forming unit which forms a toner image on an image carrier;
• a sheet carrying device including a sheet carrying unit having a first sheet carrying unit and a second sheet carrying unit, at least one of which has a coefficient of friction changing along a direction orthogonal to a traveling direction of a sheet, the first sheet carrying unit carrying the sheet in the traveling direction, the second sheet carrying unit carrying the sheet in the traveling direction together with the first sheet carrying unit, and a control unit which controls the carrying by the first sheet carrying unit and the carrying by the second sheet carrying unit on the basis of a result of detection from a detection unit which detects an inclination of the sheet that is traveling;
• and
• a transfer unit which transfers the toner image from the image carrier to the sheet carried by the sheet carrying device.
