PAPER FEED/TRANSFER DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a paper feed/transfer device which can correct a slant state of the sheet with high accuracy and quality irrespective of degree of the slant state. SOLUTION: A paper feed/transfer device has a sheet member separation roller 4 as a paper feed roller and a transfer roller for transferring the sheet member fed by the paper feed roller. In such a device, a paper slant information transmitting means transmits information of a slant state of the sheet member. According to the transmitted information, a feeding rate of the sheet member by the paper feed roller 4 is adjusted from the time that a leading end of the sheet member fed by the paper feed roller 4 reaches a nip of the transfer roller 9 to the time that the transfer roller 9 starts normal rotation. A control means thus varies a loop rate generated on the sheet member transferred by the paper feed roller 4.
