    Abstract: An image-forming apparatus includes an image formation unit, a resist unit, a paper feed unit, a detecting body, and a clocking unit. The resist unit stops paper conveyance before the next paper arrives. The paper feed unit includes a paper feed rotating body for rotating and thereby issuing the paper forth toward the resist unit, and for stopping before supplying the next paper. The detecting body detects the arrival of the paper. The clocking unit clocks a conveyance time from the start of paper feeding to when the detecting body detects the arrival. The resist unit starts conveying the paper when a deflection generation time has elapsed since the detection of the arrival. When the conveyance time is shorter than a predetermined reference time, the paper feed rotating body starts rotating in subsequent paper feeding at a timing that is delayed in comparison to the earlier paper feeding.

    Abstract: An ink jet recording apparatus includes a recording head, a transport device, and a suction device. The transport device includes an endless belt that transports a sheet along a first direction, and a transport plate. The suction device adsorbs the sheet to the endless belt. The endless belt includes a plurality of air intake holes, penetrating in a second direction, intersecting the first direction and corresponding to an ink ejecting direction from the recording head toward the sheet. The transport plate includes a plurality of suction holes penetrating in the second direction, and a plurality of divided transport plates aligned in the first direction. The suction device includes a plurality of suction chambers divided along the first direction. A joint between the divided transport plates adjacent to each other, and a joint between the suction chambers adjacent to each other, are positionally shifted from each other in the first direction.

    Abstract: An inkjet recording apparatus includes a line head including at least one recording head, an endless conveyance belt having a plurality of openings and carrying and conveying a recording medium, a driving roller, one or more stretching rollers, and a control portion. The driving roller contacts an inner circumferential surface of the conveyance belt and drives to rotate the conveyance belt. The conveyance belt has opening groups each composed of a plurality of the openings and formed in plural locations at prescribed spacings in the conveyance direction. In a state where any one of the opening groups is in contact with the driving roller, at least one of others of the opening groups is positioned immediately below the line head.

    Abstract: An inkjet recording device includes a conveying unit, a recording unit, a device main body, and a control unit. The conveying unit includes an endless conveyor belt having many air holes for sucking air, and a sheet sucking unit. The sheet sucking unit is disposed inside a loop of the conveyor belt, and includes a fan for sucking air through the air holes and a fan drive motor. The recording unit includes a recording head disposed to face an outer circumference surface of the conveyor belt, so as to eject ink from ink ejection nozzles to the paper sheet sucked and held on the conveyor belt. The control unit executes a paper dust removing mode during image non-recording time, in which it rotates the fan drive motor by a power higher than that when conveying the paper sheet, so as to remove paper dust in the device main body.

    Abstract: The belt conveyance device includes a plurality of rollers, a belt, a meandering correction part, and an adjustment part. The rollers are disposed at intervals each other and rotate around axes. The belt is disposed around the plurality of rollers and travels. The meandering correction part shifts one end portion in an axial direction of a tension roller included in the plurality of rollers in a radial direction within a predetermined range to correct a meandering of the belt. The adjustment part shifts the other end portion in the axial direction of the tension roller in the radial direction such that a position of the one end portion of the tension roller is variable under a state where the meandering of the belt is corrected.
