At least one of the light-emitting portion and the light-receiving portion projects from an outer side of the transport path towards the first guide member. The first guide member has a cutout having an opening where the light-emitting portion or the light-receiving portion is disposed. The opening is covered with a sheet member except for an area where the optical axis of the optical sensor extends.
