  • Sheet feeding device
    Patent number: 10343863
    Abstract: This sheet feeding device includes a paper transport path, a first paper pass detection unit, a second paper pass detection unit, a transport processing mechanism, an actuation determining section, and a detection control section. The first paper pass detection unit detects that the paper passes through a first point on the paper transport path. The second paper pass detection unit detects that the paper passes through a second point on the paper transport path. The transport processing mechanism performs predetermined transportation processing on the paper traveling on the paper transport path. The actuation determining section determines whether the transport processing mechanism has been actuated. The detection control section controls the first paper pass detection unit to constantly perform detection, and, if the actuation determining section detects that transport processing mechanism has been actuated, controls the second paper pass detection unit to perform detection except for a certain time period.
