Abstract
A detection device and an image forming apparatus. The detection device includes a size sensor to detect a size of a sheet in a direction of conveyance, the sheet being conveyed when detected by the size sensor, a thickness sensor to detect a thickness of the sheet, and circuitry to determine whether a disparity in sizes is occurring to the sheet or a fed-with-overlap error is occurring to the sheet, based on the thickness of the sheet detected by the thickness sensor. The image forming apparatus includes a detection device including a size sensor to detect a size of a sheet in a direction of conveyance, a thickness sensor to detect a thickness of the sheet, and circuitry to determine whether a disparity in sizes is occurring to the sheet or a fed-with-overlap error is occurring to the sheet, based on the thickness of the sheet.
