Abstract
A sheet conveying device, which is incorporated in an image forming apparatus, includes a pair of sheet holding rollers and a regulator. The pair of sheet holding rollers disposed along a sheet conveying path rotates and conveys the recording medium while holding a recording medium in a nip region thereof. The pair of sheet holding rollers includes a stopper that rotates with the pair of sheet holding rollers between a closing position at which the sheet conveying path is closed and an opening position at which the sheet conveying path is open. The regulator is movably disposed between a contact position and a retracted position with respect to the pair of sheet holding rollers. The pair of sheet holding rollers corrects a positional shift of the recording medium in the sheet conveying direction with the stopper at the closing position, and further conveys the recording medium after correction.
