Abstract
A novel sheet conveying device includes a conveyor, a sound collector, and circuitry. The conveyor conveys a sheet in a sheet conveyance direction. The sound collector collects sound produced by a conveyance of the sheet. The circuitry is to cause the sound collector to collect the sound in an abnormal determination operation, determine whether an abnormal conveyance occurs based on the sound collected by the sound collector in the abnormal determination operation, cause the conveyor to convey the sheet at a first speed in the sheet conveyance direction in a normal conveyance operation, and cause the conveyor to convey the sheet at a second speed slower than the first speed in the sheet conveyance direction in the abnormal determination operation.
