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. The sheet conveying device further includes a second housing, a sheet-cassette accommodating portion, a first electrode, a second electrode, a sheet conveyor, a driver, a first signal output device, and a second signal output device. When controlling the driver to move the raising plate to move the pressing plate upward, the controller detects a state change in the first signal output device from not outputting a conduction signal to outputting the conduction signal; upon this detection, starts counting the number of pulse signals; and determines an amount of upward movement of the pressing plate based on the counted number.

Claim (Index 3):
The sheet conveying device according to  claim 1 , further comprising a sheet sensor configured to detect an uppermost one of the sheets on the pressing plate moved upward by the raising plate when the controller controls the driver to move the raising plate from the spaced position, via the initial contact position, to a predetermined position.
