Abstract
A sheet detector for use in an equipment such as a facsimile system which uses two kinds of sheets for recording of a received signal and for transmission of an original. The presence of absence of an 'original' sheet is detected by a detecting member which is disposed directly above a cassette containing record sheets for reception and which is located in the sheet feed station. The detecting member is disposed so as to traverse across the sheet cassette, and is mounted in the sheet feed station so that it rocks in a downward direction under the gravity of the 'original' sheet when the latter is placed on the detecting member.
