<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical sensor that measures smoothness of recording paper. <P>SOLUTION: An optical sensor includes a light source, and a photodetector that irradiates a recording material with light emitted from the light source to detect intensity of the regular reflection light from the recording medium. The light made incident from the light source to the recording medium has an angle with respect to a normal line of the recording medium of 80° or more and 88° or less. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
