Claims10
A deskew system for deskewing a sheet, comprising:
- a first supplying member that feeds the sheet from a first direction;
- a third supplying member that receives the sheet from the first supplying member;
- a chamber with the first guide member;
- and
- a controller that controls the first supplying member and the third supplying member,wherein the controller selectively:
- drives both the first supplying member and the third supplying member,
- drives the first supplying member and stops the third supplying member such that the sheet first contacts an upstream section of the first guide member, and
- drives the third supplying member and stops the first supplying member such that the sheet first contacts a downstream section of the first guide member.
