PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sheet feeding device that hardly differs in throughput depending on the type of sheet, and a sheet feeding method.SOLUTION: A sheet feeding device starts to feed, after a lapse of a predetermined time since a sheet detection sensor disposed in a conveyance path detected a leading edge of a fed sheet, the subsequent sheet. At this time, when a measured value Tm of a detection time elapsed since the sheet detection sensor detected the leading edge of the sheet until it detects a trailing edge of the sheet is smaller than a reference value, the predetermined time for determining a timing at which the feeding of the subsequent sheet is started is corrected to a second time Tb shorter than a first time Ta serving as a reference. |
