Abstract

A sheet feeding device includes a drive unit that rotates a roll of a wound sheet in a first direction and in a second direction, a sensor having an output which changes according to a distance between a detecting position facing a peripheral surface of the roll and the peripheral surface of the roll, and a control unit that determines an amplification factor of the sensor on the basis of data. The data is acquired by changing the amplification factor while the roll is rotated once in the second direction and includes a plurality of the output values acquired at different rotation angles.
