An image forming apparatus includes a pair of registration rollers, a pair of intermediate rollers, a registration sensor, and a control section that performs rotation control on the pair of registration rollers and the pair of intermediate rollers. The control section changes a starting timing of slowdown control according to a time when the registration sensor detects arrival of recording paper. The control section changes a period of time from completion of the slowdown control to start of increasing the rotational speed of the pair of registration rollers and the rotational speed of the pair of intermediate rollers from a lower speed limit to a steady state speed according to the change of the starting timing of the slowdown control.
摘要:
A sheet conveyance mechanism in the present disclosure has a feeding portion, a pair of registration rollers, a first sensor, a second sensor, and a conveyance control portion. The feeding portion has a drive roller. The registration rollers are disposed in a downstream side of the feeding portion. The first and second sensors detect presence of a sheet. If after a sheet is detected by the first sensor, the sheet is not detected by the second sensor by a time when a first period elapses, the conveyance control portion starts a slowdown of a rotation speed of the drive roller. If the sheet is detected by the second sensor by a time when a second period elapses after the slowdown of the rotation speed of the drive roller starts, the conveyance control portion returns the rotation speed of the drive roller to a rotation speed before the slowdown.

Methods for picking a following sheet of media before the prior sheet of media has been detected exiting a media input tray in an imaging apparatus to increase media throughput. The methods may further include processes for shifting an image area to a shingled sheet of media without having to stop the imaging process.

A sheet binding device includes: a pair of crimping members each including alternately-arranged multiple recesses and multiple protrusions to bind a sheaf of sheets by fitting the recesses and the protrusions with the sheet sheaf interposed therebetween. When the recesses and the protrusions of the pair of crimping members are fitted, slanted side faces of the protrusions of one of the pair of crimping members and that of the other one of the pair of crimping members are in contact with each other with a clearance left both between top portions of the protrusions of the one of the crimping members and bottom portions of the recesses of the other one of the crimping members and between top portions of the protrusions of the other one of the crimping members and bottom portions of the recesses of the one of the crimping members.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus has an image bearing member bearing a toner image, a transfer part transferring the toner image from the image bearing member onto a sheet, a separation/feeding part separating and feeding sheets stacked on a sheet stacking member, and a transport part transporting the sheet fed by the separation/feeding part to the transfer part, in which a transporting operation of the transport part is changed according to a length of the sheet to be transported in a transport direction of the sheet. A control is configured to control so that a timing to decelerate to the transfer speed by the transport part with respect to a start of image formation is changed according to a length of the transported sheet in a transport direction of the sheet.

A paper sheet conveying apparatus includes: a conveying path in which a paper sheet is conveyed; a plurality of conveying rollers; a plurality of driving motors; an out-of-step detection portion; a stop control portion; and a driving restart control portion. The plurality of conveying rollers are disposed along the conveying path. The plurality of driving motors rotates the conveying rollers. The out-of-step detection portion detects an out-of-step in each of the driving motors. The stop control portion stops each of the driving motors when an out-of-step is detected. The driving restart control portion drives, after each of the driving motors is stopped, a first driving motor in which an out-of-step has occurred, and a second driving motor in which no out-of-step occurs, under a driving start condition that an amount of rotation of the second driving motor is less than an amount of rotation of the first driving motor.
摘要:
A sheet is placed on a sheet feed unit. A main-scanning sensor detects first detection information for identifying a sheet size in a main-scanning direction and a sub-scanning sensor detects second detection information for identifying a sheet size in a sub-scanning direction. A sheet sensor detects presence of the sheet on the sheet feed unit. It is monitored whether the sheet sensor has detected a sheet and a timer starts counting a first elapsed time from a time point at which the sheet sensor detects a sheet. A size identifying unit identifies, when the first elapsed time exceeds a first predetermined set time, a sheet size based on the first and the second detection information.
