Abstract
An object of the present invention is to correct the deviation of a sheet in the width direction occurring on a conveyance path from a sheet correction mechanism () to a discharge tray. A sheet shift portion () moves a sheet in the width direction. A conveying position detecting portion () detects the position of the sheet in the width direction. A discharge position detecting portion () detects a discharge position of the sheet, in the width direction, discharged onto a discharge tray () in a sheet discharge portion (). A control portion () derives an amount of deviation between the discharge position and a discharge reference position based on a detection result of the discharge position detecting portion (). Furthermore, the control portion () corrects a conveying position of the sheet in a sheet conveying portion according to the amount of deviation.
