Abstract
An image forming apparatus comprises a conveyance roller, a register roller, a sensor, a movable section, and a control section. The conveyance roller conveys a sheet. The register roller is arranged downstream of the conveyance roller along a sheet conveyance path. The sensor detects a deflection amount of the sheet when the sheet is pressed against the register roller. The movable section is connected to at least one end part of the conveyance roller. The control section controls the movable section to move the at least one end of the conveyance roller based on the deflection amount detected by the sensor, to tilt a rotational axis of the conveyance roller relative to a rotational axis of the register roller.
