Abstract

A sheet conveying device in an embodiment includes a first roller unit, a first conveyance path, a guide mechanism, and a control section. The first roller unit rotates and conveys a sheet. The first conveyance path conveys the sheet to the first roller unit. The guide mechanism is disposed along the first conveyance path and guides the conveyance of the sheet. The guide mechanism is capable of changing a conveyance path width. The control section sets the conveyance path width at a time when a leading end of the sheet passes a first position of the guide mechanism to first width. The control section sets the conveyance path width at a time when a trailing end of the sheet passes the first position to second width smaller than the first width.
