Abstract
A controller recognizes a remaining level of sheets in a sheet feeding cassette. The controller counts the required time after a sheet feeding rotary member starts to rotate until a sheet feeding sensor senses the tip end of a sheet. The controller judges whether a sheet feeding delay has occurred based on the required time. The controller calculates the incidence of sheet feeding delays for each sheet remaining level.
