SHEET CONVEYING DEVICE AND IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS INCLUDING SHEET CONVEYING DEVICE

Abstract: a sheet conveying device according to this disclosure includes a conveying tray onto which a sheet is loaded, a conveying mechanism, a raising and lowering mechanism, a raising and lowering control portion, a sensor, a first determination processing portion, and a second determination processing portion. the raising and lowering control portion drives the drive portion and controls raising and lowering of the conveying tray. the first determination processing portion determines on the basis of an output signal of the sensor whether or not a foreign object other than the sheet is present on the conveying tray while the raising and lowering control portion is raising the conveying tray before the conveying mechanism conveys the sheet. the second determination processing portion determines, on the basis that the output signal of the sensor changes while the conveying mechanism is conveying the sheet, that the sheet being conveyed is abnormal.
