Abstract: A medium transport device includes a first transporter configured to transport a medium by nipping the medium along with rotation, a second transporter configured to transport the medium and disposed on an upstream side of the first transporter in a transport direction of the medium, a first adjuster configured to adjust a position of the medium in a width direction by moving the first transporter and the second transporter in the width direction of the medium with the medium nipped by the first transporter and the second transporter, and a second adjuster configured to adjust a contact pressure of the first transporter for the medium and a contact pressure of the second transporter for the medium based on resistance caused when the medium is moved in the width direction.

Abstract: A sheet transporting device includes: a skew correcting component configured to correct any skew of a sheet by executing speed-gap driving in which first and second transporting components that are arranged at respective positions in a direction intersecting a direction of sheet transport are driven for a predetermined time period with a speed gap between the first and second transporting components; and a changing component configured to change, with reference to a characteristic relevant to sheet transport, a state of the speed-gap driving of the skew correcting component.

Abstract: A sheet transporting device includes first and second position correcting components provided at respective positions in a direction of sheet transport and each being configured to correct a position of a sheet in a direction intersecting the direction of sheet transport by being shifted in the direction intersecting the direction of sheet transport while holding the sheet, and a changing component capable of changing an amount of correction of the position of the sheet individually for the first and second position correcting components.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a first outlet portion that allows sheet to be discharged therethrough toward a side surface of the apparatus, a holding portion that holds sheets that are to be reversed, a second outlet portion that is disposed at an upper portion of the apparatus and that allows sheets to be discharged therethrough toward an upper side of the apparatus, a first switching member that changes a destination of a sheet transported thereto between the holding portion and the first outlet portion, and a second switching member that changes a destination of a sheet transported thereto between the second outlet portion and the holding portion or the first outlet portion to which the first switching member has changed the destination.

Abstract: A sheet feeding device includes a recording-medium container member that contains a recording medium; a restriction member that extends, at a downstream side of the recording-medium container member in a transporting direction of the recording medium, from one end side of the recording-medium container member in a width direction toward a location above the recording medium contained in the recording-medium container member, the restriction member including a restricting portion that restricts upward movement of the recording medium; and a guide member provided at the one end side of the recording-medium container member in the width direction and located upstream of the restriction member in the transporting direction of the recording medium, the guide member pressing the recording medium toward the other end side of the recording-medium container member in the width direction to adjust the transporting direction of the recording medium.

Abstract: Provided is a transporting device including a transport section that contacts with a material to be transported and that transports the material to be transported, a table on which the material to be transported is placed, a moving member that includes the table provided on an upper surface of the moving member so that an upper surface of the table is higher than the upper surface of the moving member in a vertical direction and moves the material to be transported, which is placed on the table, to a contact position where the material to be transported contacts with the transport section, and a positioning member that contacts with an end portion of the material to be transported in a width direction orthogonal to a transport direction in which the material to be transported is transported by the transport section.
