ABSTRACT:
A transfer material detecting device contains a transfer material carrier that detachably carries a transfer material to transport the transfer material to a transfer region where a toner image of an image carrier is transferred to the transfer material; and transfer material sensors that are disposed in a moving path of the transfer material carrier and detect the existence of the transfer material carried by the transfer material carrier. The device contains at least two transfer material sensors arranged in a moving direction of the transfer material carrier at intervals that are shorter than the minimum size of the transfer material to be detected; and a device for outputting a transfer material detection signal when at least two of the transfer material sensors simultaneously detect the existence of the transfer material.
