The detection unit changes an output value based on presence and absence of the sheet at a detection position in a sheet conveyance path, wherein the second guide provided with the second detection portion, and a receiving member are movably disposed with respect to the first guide provided with the first detection portion respectively, and are positioned with respect to the first guide independently from each other, and wherein the receiving member is pivotably supported around the pivot axis independently from the second guide.
