PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sheet conveying device capable of stably separating the highest sheet from a sheet bundle and carrying out a conveyance action regardless of sheet size etc.SOLUTION: In a case where a sheet conveying device 10 attracts not only the highest sheet 1A but also second and subsequent sheets 1B to an electrostatic attraction belt 13A resulting from a fault in separation of them with separation air A from a separation air blowing part, even if these sheets in close contact with each other are conveyed, a part of air A from a pressing down air blowing part 24 disposed at a downstream conveyance section of the electrostatic attraction belt 13A would not pass through a vent hole of a conveyance guide plate 23 and being reflected on the bottom surface of the highest sheet 1A to act as pressing down air Ax flowing downward, resulting in separation and conveyance of mere the highest sheet 1A. Thereby, the highest sheet 1A may be stably conveyed. |
