Classification: CPC B  G | IPC B

Claim 1:
2. The paper-length detection device according to claim 1, further comprising:
a controller that outputs information of an absolute angle of the magnet on a basis of the voltage value of the signal output by the angle sensor; and
a storage table that stores distances between the first regulatory member and the second regulatory member that continuously increase from a minimum value to a maximum value corresponding to absolute angles from 0° or more to less than 360° or distances between the first regulatory member and the second regulatory member that continuously increase from a minimum value to a maximum value corresponding to absolute angles from 0° or more to less than 180°,
the controller referring to the storage table and outputting information of the distance corresponding to the absolute angle, which includes the absolute value of the length of the paper sheet.
