Title:
IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2017105628
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus that can determine whether or not a sheet feed unit is mounted with a simple structure.SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus includes an apparatus main body, a sheet storage cassette, a sheet feed unit, a first detection sensor having a first detector for detecting the presence/absence of sheets stacked on a sheet stacking plate, a second detection sensor having a second detector for detecting the position of the top face of the sheets stacked on the sheet stacking plate, a cassette detection switch, a driving device, and a controller. The sheet feed unit includes a first actuator for switching detection states of the first detection sensor, and a second actuator for switching detection states of the second detection sensor. The controller determines the mounting state of sheet feed unit based on the detection state of the first detection sensor and the second detection sensor.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 10
