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 9):
A sheet conveying device, comprising:\n a pressing plate configured to support sheets and movable upward and downward; a raising plate movable from a spaced position at which the raising plate is spaced from the pressing plate to and beyond an initial contact position at which the raising plate contacts the pressing plate and starts moving the pressing plate upward; a sheet conveyor configured to convey a sheet from the pressing plate; a driver configured to move the raising plate; a sheet sensor configured to detect an uppermost one of the sheets on the pressing plate; and a controller configured to:\n control the driver to move the raising plate from the spaced position, via the initial contact position, to such a predetermined position that the sheet sensor detects the uppermost one of the sheets on the pressing plate moved upward by the raising plate; and \n determine an amount of upward movement of the pressing plate moved by the raising plate, based on an amount of movement of the raising plate from the initial contact position to the predetermined position.
