Abstract
A sheet conveying apparatus includes a sheet conveying part that conveys sheets; a detection part that outputs a signal according to a position of each sheet conveyed by the sheet conveying part in a lateral direction orthogonal to a conveying direction; a lateral shift part that shifts the conveyed sheet in the lateral direction; and a control part that controls an operation of the lateral shift part based on an output of the detection part. Then, after lateral shift operation is ended by the lateral shift part, detection is performed again by the detection part, and based on a detection result thereof, the control part controls an operation of the lateral shift part so that the conveyed sheet is shifted again in the lateral direction.
