Abstract
A sheet conveying device is configured to start feeding, before a trailing end of a preceding sheet passes a detector, a next sheet following the preceding sheet, based on a calculated sheet length. If the trailing end of the preceding sheet has not been detected by the detector when a counted value reaches a particular count value, the driving of a sheet feed unit configured to feed sheets may be stopped while a conveying unit configured to convey the sheets is continuously being driven. Subsequently, based on the detector detecting the trailing end of the preceding sheet, the driving of the sheet feed unit may be resumed.
