A decurl device includes: a curl detecting section having a plurality of
toothed wheels each which detects a curling amount and a curling
direction of a sheet having a curl; and a plurality of uncurling sections
each arranged downstream of the curl detecting section in a conveyance
direction of the sheet having the curl, which uncurls the sheet by
bending and transforming the sheet in a direction reverse to a curling
direction thereof. One of the uncurling sections, which reduces the curl,
is selected on the basis of the curling amount and the curling direction
that have been detected by the curl detecting section, thereby uncurling
the sheet.
