Abstract
A sheet conveying device includes a sensor, a corrector, and circuitry. The sensor detects a position of a first sheet and multiple second sheets. The corrector corrects the position of the sheet in at least one of a rotational direction or a width direction. The circuitry is to convey the multiple second sheets at a first conveyance speed, reduce the first conveyance speed of a preceding one of the multiple second sheets to a second conveyance speed until a space between the preceding one and a subsequent one of the multiple second sheets becomes a difference between a first length of the first sheet and a second length of the multiple second sheets, and cause the corrector to convey one of the multiple second sheets at the second conveyance speed within at least a part of time in which said one of the multiple second sheets is conveyed.
