Abstract

An image forming apparatus is capable of correcting a lateral deviation and/or a skew of a sheet. A pair of conveying rollers convey the sheet to a transfer position of an image. An image sensor reads the sheet on an upstream side of the transfer position in a sheet conveying direction. A control device senses a foreign substance on a reading surface of the image sensor as well as calculate a lateral deviation amount and/or a skew amount of the sheet based on an output signal of the image sensor.
