ABSTRACT:
A sheet detecting apparatus provided with a light emitter and a light receiver for receiving light emitted from the light emitter through a sheet conveying path, wherein the light receiver detects any change in a quantity of light from the light emitter caused by a sheet passing on the conveying path intercepting the light emitted from the light emitter, to thereby detect the presence or absence of the sheet is provided with a V/I converting circuit for driving the light emitter, a comparing circuit for effecting negative feedback on the V/I converting circuit by an output signal, and changing the quantity of light of the light emitter, and a limiter circuit for applying a limitation to the negative feedback effected on the V/I converting circuit by the comparing circuit.
