摘要: A sheet conveying apparatus configured to convey a sheet includes a reversing portion, a reversing retraction portion provided in the reversing portion, a conveyance portion, a guide member provided in the reversing retraction portion, and a fan provided in the conveyance portion. The reversing portion conveys the sheet in a first direction and then a second direction opposite to the first direction. The reversing retraction portion temporarily retracts the sheet conveyed in the first direction. The conveyance portion has a conveyance path through which the sheet conveyed in the second direction passes and configured to convey the sheet. The guide member guides one surface of the sheet. The fan blows air toward the sheet guided by the guide member and is disposed to blow the air of the conveyance path in the conveyance portion toward the reversing retraction portion and along the guide member in the first direction.

摘要: In an image forming apparatus capable of turning over a sheet to form images on both sides of the sheet, when duplex printing is executed successively on three or more sheets, a controller causes a first sheet conveyed from an image forming unit and a second sheet conveyed from the image forming unit to be guided into a first path by positioning a guide member in a first position, and then conveyed into a third path by a first roller, and causes a third and subsequent sheets conveyed from the image forming unit to be guided into a second path by positioning the guide member in a second position, and then conveyed into the third path by a second roller.

摘要: An image forming apparatus includes an image forming portion to form an image on an image bearing member, and a transfer portion to transfer the image on a first image position on the image bearing member to a sheet. In addition, a controller determines a second image position, on the image bearing member, of an image to be transferred onto a second surface of a sheet re-conveyed to an adjustment portion by a reverse and re-conveyance portion based on a detected side edge position, of a trailing part of the sheet being conveyed with a first end as the leading edge. The trailing part of the sheet is positioned on a trailing edge side further than a center position, in the sheet conveyance direction, of the sheet, and the controller determines a shift amount based on the second image position and detected side edge position of the sheet, which has been re-conveyed, being conveyed with the second end as the leading edge.
