Sheet conveying device with sensor positioned at vertical angle and image forming apparatus containing same

摘要

A sheet conveying device has a sheet-position detection sensor which has CCDs or CISs and which is attached in an inclined manner such that a vertical distance from the sheet-position detection sensor to a sheet-conveying path or to a sheet conveyed along the sheet-conveying path differs between the proximal edge and the distal edge of the sheet-position detection sensor in a direction perpendicular to the sheet-conveying path.
