Zusammenfassung: | To avoid dirt on a reference surface with a simple configuration.SOLUTION: A white reference plate 800 has a reference surface 800a that is arranged outside a paper feed area R1 and is substantially the same plane as a conveyance guide surface 810a. A color sensor 501 is driven by a driving unit 570 and movable in a movement direction B, and measures the color of an image for measurement formed on a sheet S. Elevating rollers 555 each move with the color sensor 501 to press down the sheet S. An override member 820 is provided which is higher than the reference surface 800a of the white reference plate 800. When the color sensor 501 moves in an area where at least one of the elevating roller 555 overlaps the white reference plate 800 when seen from a direction perpendicular to the reference surface 800a, the elevating roller 555 overrides the override member 820 to ensure the interval between the elevating roller 555 and the reference surface 800a.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 14
【課題】簡単な構成で、基準面の汚れを回避する。【解決手段】白色基準板800は、通紙領域R1の外に配置され、搬送ガイド面810aと略同一平面の基準面800aを有する。カラーセンサ501は、駆動ユニット570に駆動されて移動方向Bに移動可能であり、シートSに形成された測定用画像の色を測定する。昇降コロ555は、カラーセンサ501と共に移動し、シートSを押さえる。白色基準板800の基準面800aより高い乗上部材820が設けられる。基準面800aに垂直な方向から見て昇降コロ555の少なくとも一部が白色基準板800と重なる領域をカラーセンサ501が移動するときに、昇降コロ555が乗上部材820に乗り上げることで、昇降コロ555と基準面800aとの間隔が確保される。【選択図】図14 |
