Abstract

A sheet material detecting device includes a leading end flag, a pair of middle size flags, a pair of large size flags which take stand-by positions and operating positions by contacting a sheet, respectively. Each of middle size flags changes from the stand-by position to the operating position linking with changing to the operating position of each of large size flags. A link is moved from a first position to a second position in a case that both of middle size flags take the operating positions and is restricted in movement to the second position in a case that both of middle size fags do not take the operating portions. A controller detects a width of the sheet base on a timing of the operating position of the leading end flag and a timing of movement of the link from the first position to the second position.
