Abstract
A sheet identification device includes a light irradiation portion. When forming an identification image, the light irradiation portion projects first pattern light (P) and second pattern light (P) having different dependences on a fiber direction of a surface of a sheet on an identification region (R). The identification image is an image of the identification region (R) of the surface of the sheet on which image formation or image reading is performed, which is used for identifying the fiber direction of the surface of the sheet.
