Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a sheet feeding device that corrects skew of a sheet before feeding the sheet to a transfer position for image formation. The sheet feeding device comprises a driver, a feeder roller unit provided with a feeder roller rotationally driven by the driver and a separation roller, and two resist roller units each provided with a primary and a secondary resist roller. The resist roller units cause formation of a loop in the sheet between the resist roller units and the feeder roller unit during skew correction. When viewed in a direction of a rotational axis of the feeder roller, the first resist rollers and the feeder roller overlap at least partially, and the pressing member and the second resist rollers do not overlap. The first resist rollers and the feeder roller occupy different positions with respect to the direction of the rotational axis.
