    摘要: An image forming device includes a resist roller feeding a sheet of paper toward an image forming unit; a first detector arranged upstream of the resist roller in a feeding direction to detect a front edge of the sheet of paper; a first calculator computing a first misalignment amount of the sheet of paper based on detection results by the first detector; a corrector correcting misalignment of the sheet of paper based on the computed first misalignment amount; a second detector arranged downstream of the resist roller in the feeding direction to detect a position of an end of the sheet of paper in a widthwise direction; a second calculator computing a second misalignment amount of the sheet of paper based on detection results by the second detector; and an adjuster adjusting a correction amount by the corrector based on the computed second misalignment amount.

    摘要: A reading apparatus includes a reader, a conveyor, motors and a hardware processor. The reader reads a surface of a recording medium with an image formed. The conveyor includes rollers disposed along a conveyance path that passes through a reading area of the reader, and conveys the recording medium being laid across the rollers. The motors rotate the rollers. The hardware processor controls operations of the motors such that the rollers located farther downstream in a conveyance direction of the recording medium rotate faster. As to at least one motor of the motors, the hardware processor switches between and performs a first control to adjust a rotational speed and a second control to adjust a torque, depending on an operating state of the motor.
