Abstract
A sheet conveying device with a sheet conveyance path through which a sheet is conveyed include: a sheet guide that has a first end rotatably supported to move a second end to be close to or away from the sheet conveyance path; and a sheet detecting section that has a first end protruding beyond the sheet guide and a second end rotatably supported so that the first end is pushed by the sheet and rotated. A rotation shaft of the sheet detecting section is disposed farther from the sheet conveyance path than a rotation shaft of the sheet guide, and the sheet guide is provided with a moving portion for moving the first end of the sheet detecting section to an inside of a guide face of the sheet guide.
