Image forming apparatus

An image forming apparatus that forms an image on a sheet by transferring a toner image carried by an image-carrying member onto the sheet, the image forming apparatus comprising:

• a skew correction device that corrects a skew of the sheet conveyed in a predetermined conveying direction on a conveying path leading to a transfer position;
• and
• a cleaning device that removes residual toner remaining on the image-carrying member after the transfer, and conveys the residual toner to a predetermined container,
• wherein
• the skew correction device includes first conveying rollers rotatable about a predetermined rotation fulcrum, the first conveying rollers being, before the sheet, which is skewed, enters a device body, rotated from an initial position only by a tilt amount corresponding to a tilt of the sheet, and, when the sheet enters the device body, rotated back to the initial position while nipping and conveying the sheet,
• the cleaning device includes a toner conveying member that conveys the residual toner removed from the image-carrying member to the predetermined container, and
• both the first conveying rollers and the toner conveying member operate by consecutively receiving a rotational driving force from a common electric motor.
