Abstract
A sheet conveyance device includes a sheet conveyance passage, a first sheet stacking portion, a first feeding portion, a second feeding portion, a sheet detection mechanism, a driving portion, and a control portion. The first sheet stacking portion has a bottom face part and a lifting plate. The driving portion drives the first feeding portion when rotating forward and drives the second feeding portion when rotating reversely. The sheet detection mechanism has an actuator and a detection sensor. The control portion controls such that, for a sheet fed from the first sheet stacking portion, when the sheet is detected by the sheet detection mechanism, the driving portion rotates forward and, for a sheet conveyed from the second feeding portion, the driving portion rotates reversely and, when the detection sensor detects the actuator swinging at the detection position, the driving portion is switched to rotate forward.
