Abstract
A document conveying device () includes a sheet feeding tray (), a discharge tray () provided below the sheet feeding tray (), a feeding roller (), a conveying mechanism (), a lifting mechanism () which lifts and lowers the sheet feeding tray (), a discharge tray document sensor () which detects the document on the discharge tray (), and a control part () which controls the lifting mechanism () such that the document placed on the sheet feeding tray () is pressed against the feeding roller () when the conveying mechanism () conveys the document. The control part () controls the lifting mechanism () to lower the sheet feeding tray () by a larger amount in a case where the document is not detected by the discharge tray document sensor () when power is turned on than a case where the document is detected by the discharge tray document sensor ().
