Abstract
A sheet conveying path is constituted by a fixed guide portion and a movable guide portion movable in a width direction orthogonal to the conveyance direction of a sheet for regulating the position of one side edge of the sheet by a skew feed correcting portion, and an auxiliary guide for guiding the sheet is provided between the fixed guide portion and the movable guide portion for movement in the width direction. When the skew feed of the conveyed sheet is corrected, the movable guide portion is moved in advance to a position corresponding to the size of the sheet, and in operative association with the movable guide portion, the auxiliary guide is moved to a guide position corresponding to the size of the sheet.
