The thickness of the paper sheet is determined by detecting the thickness. However, in this case, it is necessary to use a long-axis roller that contacts the entire width of the sheet to detect the thickness distribution of the sheet, thereby increasing the size of the sheet, and also detecting extremely thin sheets such as banknotes and print paper. Accordingly, the cost of the entire apparatus has been inevitably increased, such as a requirement for corresponding high-precision parallelism.
