Abstract
According to one embodiment, a sheet conveying device includes a conveying roller, a motor, a resist roller, a sensor, and a motor control unit. The conveying roller conveys a sheet. The motor rotates the conveying roller. The resist roller corrects an inclination of the sheet conveyed by the conveying roller. The sensor is positioned upstream of the resist roller and detects the sheet. The motor control unit determines that the sheet abuts on the resist roller after the sheet is detected by the sensor and rotates the motor by a predetermined number of rotations after it is determined that the sheet abuts on the resist roller.

A sheet conveying device comprising:
- a conveying roller that conveys a sheet;
- a motor that rotates the conveying roller;
- a resist roller that corrects an inclination of the sheet conveyed by the conveying roller;
- a sensor positioned upstream of the resist roller that detects the sheet;
- and
- a motor control unit that determines whether the sheet abuts the resist roller after the sheet is detected by the sensor, and drives the motor by a predetermined number of rotations when the sheet abuts the resist roller.
A sheet conveying method performed by a sheet conveying device including a conveying roller that conveys a sheet, a motor that drives the conveying roller, a resist roller that corrects an inclination of the sheet conveyed by the conveying roller, a sensor positioned upstream of the resist roller and detects the sheet, and a motor control unit that controls the motor, the method comprising:
- causing the motor control unit to determine whether the sheet abuts the resist roller after the sheet is detected by the sensor;
- and
- causing the motor control unit to drive the motor by a predetermined number of rotations when the sheet abuts the resist roller.
