Document feeding device, image reading device and image forming device equipped with same

Abstract

The invention provides a document feeding device, an image reading device and an image forming device equipped with same. The document feeding device includes: a document tray on which a document is loaded; a discharge tray to which the original document is discharged; a conveyance path which conveys a document on the original document tray to the discharge tray via a document reading position; adetection unit which is disposed in the conveyance path and detects a jam of the original document in the conveyance path; and an illumination device which illuminates the conveyance path in a state visible from the exterior when the detection unit has detected a jam of the original document. Thus, the case of the jam of the original document is informed to the user immediately, so that the the case of the jam of the original document will be regarded.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a document feeding device for conveying a document to a predetermined image reading position, an image reading device provided with the document feeding device, and an image forming device provided with the image reading device. Background technique

[0002] An image forming apparatus that forms an image on paper based on a document image includes an apparatus main body that performs image formation, a document feeding device, and an image reading unit. The document placed on the document tray of the document feeding device is conveyed toward the image reading position of the document reading unit, and its image surface is read. Next, in an electrophotographic image forming apparatus, a photosensitive drum is charged in advance, and a laser beam modulated according to image data of a document image is irradiated on the surface of the photosensitive drum to form an electrostatic latent image. Then, the developed toner i...
