Abstract:
A paper warping detection device includes an input tray, a processor, a first emitting element, a first receiving element and a first analog-to-digital converter. A first critical value is stored in the processor. The first emitting element is electrically connected with the processor. The first receiving element is disposed to the other side of the input tray. The first receiving element and the first emitting element face each other. When the first emitting element is switched on, the first emitting element emits first ultrasonic wave signals towards the first receiving element. The first analog-to-digital converter is electrically connected with the first receiving element and the processor for converting the first ultrasonic wave signals into first digital signals and outputting the first digital signals to the processor. The processor reads the first digital signals and compares the first digital signals with the first critical value.

Claim (Index 8):
A paper warping detection method applied in a paper warping detection device, comprising steps of:\n emitting first ultrasonic wave signals by using a first emitting element, and the first ultrasonic wave signals being across a leading end of a top surface of an uppermost piece of paper; receiving the first ultrasonic wave signals by using a first receiving element facing the first emitting element; converting the first ultrasonic wave signals into first digital signals by using a first analog-to-digital converter, the first digital signals being outputted to a processor by the first analog-to-digital converter; and storing a first critical value in the processor, reading the first digital signals and comparing the first digital signals with the first critical value by using the processor, when a strength of the first digital signals outputted by the first analog-to-digital converter is less than the first critical value, the paper being judged to be warped at the time of the uppermost piece of the paper being fed in, and the paper being stopped being fed in, on the contrary, the paper being judged to be normally fed at the time of the uppermost piece of the paper being fed in.
