Abstract
According to an embodiment, a sheet conveying apparatus includes a roller conveying mechanism, a sheet conveying sensor, an aligning mechanism, and a conveying controller. The conveying controller causes the paper feed roller of the roller conveying mechanism to be driven to convey the sheet. Furthermore, the conveying controller causes the adjustment roller of the aligning mechanism to be driven on the basis of a detection output of the sheet conveying sensor such that a deviation between the course of the sheet and a predetermined standard course is corrected.
Claims10
A sheet conveying apparatus, comprising:
- a roller conveying mechanism that conveys a sheet by causing the sheet to come in contact with at least one paper feed roller;
- a sheet conveying sensor that detects a course of the sheet conveyed by the roller conveying mechanism;
- an aligning mechanism that has at least one adjustment roller, the adjustment roller correcting the course of the sheet, conveying the sheet, and aligning an edge position of the sheet;
- and
- a conveying controller configured to
- cause the paper feed roller of the roller conveying mechanism to be driven to convey the sheet, and
- cause the adjustment roller of the aligning mechanism to be driven on the basis of a detection output of the sheet conveying sensor such that a deviation between the course of the sheet and a predetermined standard course is corrected.
An image forming system, comprising:
- a printer that forms an image on a sheet;
- and
- a sheet conveying apparatus that conveys the sheet to the printer,
- the sheet conveying apparatus including
- a roller conveying mechanism that conveys a sheet by causing the sheet to come in contact with at least one paper feed roller,
- a sheet conveying sensor that detects a course of the sheet conveyed by the roller conveying mechanism,
- an aligning mechanism that has at least one adjustment roller, the adjustment roller correcting the course of the sheet, conveying the sheet, and aligning an edge position of the sheet, and
- a conveying controller configured to
- cause the paper feed roller of the roller conveying mechanism to be driven to convey the sheet, and
- cause the adjustment roller of the aligning mechanism to be driven on the basis of a detection output of the sheet conveying sensor such that a deviation between the course of the sheet and a predetermined standard course is corrected.
