Abstract
A sheet conveying apparatus for conveying a sheet to an image forming portion has a first aligning member for effecting the alignment of the sheet with one of the opposite side edges of the sheet parallel to a sheet conveying direction as a reference, a second aligning member for effecting the alignment of the sheet with the leading edge of the sheet orthogonal to the sheet conveying direction as a reference, and an aligning operation controlling device for selectively operating one of the first aligning member and the second aligning member on the basis of at least one of image information, sheet information and sheet processing information.
Claims9
An image forming apparatus having an image forming portion for forming an image on a sheet conveyed from a sheet conveying apparatus, the image forming apparatus comprising:
- a first aligning unit configured to correct an attitude of the sheet with one of opposite side edges of the sheet parallel to a sheet conveying direction;
- a second aligning unit configured to correct an attitude of the sheet with a leading edge of the sheet orthogonal to the sheet conveying direction;
- and
- aligning operation controlling means capable to selectively operate one of said first aligning unit and said second aligning unit on the basis of at least one of image information, sheet information and sheet processing information,
- wherein the image forming portion forms the image on the sheet of which the attitude is corrected by the first aligning unit or the second aligning unit.
