Abstract
A sheet conveying device that facilitates solution of a jam of a sheet and which is capable of inhibiting shortening of life due to a jam is provided. A sheet having a bent leading end that is very likely to jam is positively made to jam at a blocking portion formed on an upstream side of an image forming station in a sheet conveying direction thereof. Consequently, it is possible to more easily perform an operation of solving a jam than in a case where a jam of the sheet occurs in the image forming station. Moreover, it is possible to prevent deterioration of the image forming station due to a jam, and inhibit shortening of the life of the image forming station resulting from a jam.
