<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a paper conveyance device that enables highly accurate alignment of an image position relative to paper with a simple configuration and at a low cost; and also to provide an image forming apparatus. <P>SOLUTION: A correction guide member 18 disposed between a secondary transfer part by a secondary transfer roller 7, and a registration roller 12 is provided so as to be movable in the vertical direction of the figure. When it is determined by the detection output of a timing sensor 17 that the entry of paper to a transfer section is earlier than an appropriate time, the correction guide member 18 is moved upward and a correction is made to increase the length of a conveyance path. In the opposite case, the correction guide member 18 is moved downward to decrease the length of the conveyance path. This enables paper to enter the transfer section at appropriate timing. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
