A sheet conveyance device includes first, second, and third rotating members and a switching unit. The first rotating member rotates in one direction. The second rotating member conveys a sheet in a first direction with the first rotating member rotating. The third rotating member conveys the sheet in a second direction, different from the first direction, in conjunction with the first rotating member rotating. The switching unit switches from a first state where the second rotating member contacts a sheet first surface and the first rotating member contacts a sheet second surface to a second state in which the first rotating member contacts the first surface of the sheet and the third rotating member contacts the sheet second surface by moving the second rotating member before a trailing edge of the sheet conveyed in the first direction is conveyed by the first rotating member and the second rotating member.

In an image forming apparatus, a discharge roller discharges a sheet conveyed by a first conveying path. The discharge roller switches between: a mode of conveying a sheet in a sheet discharging direction to discharge a sheet; and a mode of reversing a direction of conveying a sheet from the sheet discharging direction and feeding a sheet to a re-conveying path. A pivot plate at an open position constitutes a second conveying path. The pivot plate at a closed position closes the second conveying path. The pivot plate is provided with a penetrating portion penetrating the pivot plate over an entire thickness of the pivot plate. The penetrating portion constitutes part of the re-conveying path when the pivot plate is disposed at the closed position. Part of the pivot plate is exposed outside the housing.

A decoloring device according to an embodiment includes a decoloring unit that erases a first image formed with erasable colorant on a first side of a sheet and a second image formed with erasable colorant on a second side of the sheet. A reading unit reads the first and second sides of the sheet and determines whether the first side and the second side are reusable. A single-side reusable paper tray stacks the sheet if the reading unit determines that only one of the first and second sides is reusable. A marking unit adds a mark to the one of the first and second sides that is determined to be not reusable when only one of the first and second sides is determined to be reusable.

A reverse roller pulls in a sheet from a first conveying path to a second conveying path by conveying the sheet in a first direction and deliver the sheet from the second conveying path to a third conveying path by reversing the conveyance direction of the sheet from the first direction to a second direction. A clutch transmits drive power of a motor to the reverse roller and controls a rotation direction of the reverse roller. A controller controls a reverse timing of the reverse roller according to an actual length of a sheet. A guidance member guides the sheet where an image is formed on a first surface from a first conveying path to a second conveying path and guides the sheet guided to the second conveying path to a third conveying path. The clutch further controls the guidance member.

Systems and methods for deskewing a media object may include receiving, at a deskew of a self-service terminal, the media object. The method may also include engaging a drive member to position the media object into a first position within the deskew. A deskew member may be engaged in a first direction to position the media object into a second position within the deskew. The deskew member may be engaged in a second direction to position the media object into a third position within the deskew.

A sheet processing apparatus includes a conveyance roller pair that rotates in a certain direction to convey a sheet, a first normal-reverse rotation roller pair that is capable of rotating in a normal direction and a reverse direction and rotates to convey the sheet, a first driver that drives the first normal-reverse rotation roller pair to rotate, and a first driving force transmitter that transmits a driving force of the first driver for rotating the first normal-reverse rotation roller pair in a first specific direction to the conveyance roller pair so as to rotate the conveyance roller pair in the certain direction, and blocks a driving force of the first driver for rotating the first normal-reverse rotation roller pair in the direction opposite to the first specific direction from being transmitted to the conveyance roller pair.
