Abstract:
A sheet conveying device includes: a sheet cassette including a first housing, a pressing plate, a raising plate, a first resilient member, and a second resilient member; a second housing; a sheet-cassette accommodating portion; a first electrode; a second electrode; a sheet conveyor; a driver; a first output device that outputs a first signal and a second signal; a second output device that outputs a rotation pulse signal; and a controller that receives the first signal, the second signal, and the rotation pulse signal. The controller counts pulses of the rotation pulse signal received from the second output device, determines the number of pulses of the rotation pulse signal, and determines an amount of upward movement of the pressing plate based on the number of pulses of the rotation pulse signal.

Claim (Index 9):
The sheet conveying device according to  claim 7 , further comprising a second output device configured to output a rotation pulse signal indicating an amount of rotation of the motor,\n wherein the controller is configured to:\n start counting pulses of the rotation pulse signal received from the second output device at a first timing when a signal received from the first output device is switched from the second signal to the first signal; \n end counting pulses of the rotation pulse signal received from the second output device at a second timing when the signal received from the first output device is switched from the first signal to the second signal; \n determine the number of pulses of the rotation pulse signal counted between the first timing and the second timing; and \n determine an amount of upward movement of the pressing plate based on the number of pulses of the rotation pulse signal.
