Abstract
A document conveying device includes a sheet feeding tray, a sheet feeding mechanism, a sheet feeding tray lifting mechanism, a top plate, a fixed wall part, a lifting wall part, and a reflective optical sensor. The top plate is in contact with a lower surface of the document to be fed. The fixed wall part is provided extending downward from an upstream side end portion of the top plate, and is fixed in position. The lifting wall part is provided extending upward from a downstream side end portion of the sheet feeding tray, and lifted and lowered along the fixed wall part together with the sheet feeding tray. The reflective optical sensor detects the document placed on the sheet feeding tray. The reflective optical sensor emits light in a direction inclined downstream of the sheet feeding direction from a vertically upward direction.
