Abstract
A physical property detecting device, includes: an insertion part that includes an insertion port through which a sheet is inserted and removed; a first physical property detector that detects a first physical property of the sheet in a non-nipping state; and a second physical property detector that nips the sheet and detects a second physical property of the sheet in a nipping state, wherein the first physical property detector and the second physical property detector are disposed at different positions in an insertion and removal direction of the sheet.
Claims13
A physical property detecting device, comprising:
- an insertion part that comprises an insertion port through which a sheet is inserted and removed by an operation of a user;
- a first physical property detector that detects a first physical property of the sheet in a non-nipping state;
- and
- a second physical property detector that nips the sheet and detects a second physical property of the sheet in a nipping state, wherein
- the first physical property detector and the second physical property detector are disposed at different positions in an insertion and removal direction of the sheet, and
- the first physical property detector is disposed closer to the insertion port of the insertion part than the second physical property detector.
An image forming system, comprising:
- a physical property detecting device that detects physical properties of a sheet inserted into an insertion part that comprises an insertion port through which the sheet is inserted and removed by an operation of a user;
- and
- an image forming device that communicates with the physical property detecting device and forms an image on the sheet, wherein
- the physical property detecting device comprises:
- a first physical property detector that detects a first physical property of the sheet in a non-nipping state;
- and
- a second physical property detector that nips the sheet and detects a second physical property of the sheet in a nipping state,
- the first physical property detector and the second physical property detector are disposed at different positions in an insertion and removal direction of the sheet, and
- the first physical property detector is disposed closer to the insertion port of the insertion part than the second physical property detector.
