  • Patent number: 11358816
    Abstract: A transporting device sends a sheet with the rotation of a first drive roller with the sheet sandwiched between a first drive roller and a driven roller. The sheet is sent to a direction to which a back surface thereof is pressed against a guide surface, and is transported to a second drive roller in a state of being pressed against the guide surface after the guide surface pushing and bending a transport path toward a front surface side. A lifted amount of the sheet from the guide surface is monitored by a sensor, and the transportation is stopped in a case where the lifted amount is equal to or larger than a predetermined amount.
