Abstract
A sheet-edge detecting device includes first and second detecting units and a determining unit. The detecting units are disposed at an edge of a sheet having feed holes in a direction crossing a transporting direction of the sheet, and are separated from each other in the transporting direction so as not to be positioned in one or more feed holes simultaneously. In the direction crossing the transporting direction, the detecting units are separated from each so as not to be positioned in a feed hole and outside the edge simultaneously, one of the detecting units is at a position corresponding to an allowable displacement of the edge, and the other detecting unit is at the same position as the one of the detecting units or closer to the edge than the one of the detecting units is. The determining unit determines the position of the edge of the sheet.
