Abstract
A sheet conveying device and an image forming apparatus include a conveying member that adsorbs a sheet by an electric charge and conveys the sheet, a first electric charger to charge the conveying member by applying voltage, and a second electric charger to charge the conveying member by applying voltage. The second electric charger is arranged downstream from the first electric charger in a conveying direction, and applies the electric charge with the same polarity as the first electric charger to the conveying member.
