摘要:
An image forming apparatus has a rotary guide including a path for a sheet being conveyed. The guide is rotatable so that an exit of the path faces one of at least two conveyance destinations. A motor rotates the guide, and a detector outputs a detection signal when a predetermined posture of the guide is detected. An instructing section outputs instruction signals to the motor to rotate the guide toward the predetermined posture. A judging section judges whether a detection signal has been received in response to the instruction signal, and a notifying section counts a consecutive occurrence number of a judgment result to the effect that no detection signal was received in response to the instruction signal this time and gives a notification prompting an inspection request of the image forming apparatus when the consecutive occurrence number reaches a set number.

A tape drive for use in for example a transfer printing apparatus to drive a printer ribbon. The printer ribbon is mounted on two spools each of which is driven by a respective stepper motor. A controller controls the energization of the motor such that the ribbon is transported in at least one direction between spools mounted on the spool support. The controller is operative to energize both motors to drive the spools of ribbon in the direction of ribbon transport to achieve push-pull operations. Ribbon tension is monitored to enable accurate control of ribbon supply and ribbon take-up, the ribbon tension being monitored, for example, by monitoring power supply to the two stepper motors.

There is described a paper sheet conveyance apparatus and an image forming apparatus, which makes it possible not only to achieve the minimization and the cost reduction of the apparatus; but also to achieve the high-speed conveyance operation of the paper sheet without generating any step out of the stepping motor. The paper sheet conveyance apparatus, includes: a pair of conveyance rollers to convey a paper sheet; and a stepping motor to drive one of the pair of conveyance rollers. At least one of the conveyance rollers is a roller made of aluminum alloy metal. Further, the roller made of the aluminum alloy metal is shaped in a hallow cylinder. Still further, a surface hardening treatment is applied to a circumferential surface of the roller made of the aluminum alloy metal.

A conveying and dividing mechanism in which a first conveyance path and a second conveyance path facing each other can bidirectionally convey banknotes between each other and that can divide into multiple-direction banknotes conveyed from both the first conveyance path and the second conveyance path. A first dividing member is rockably provided at the intersection of the first conveyance path, the second conveyance path, a third conveyance path, and a fourth conveyance path. The first dividing member enables banknotes to be bidirectionally conveyed between the first and second conveyance paths. Further, the first dividing member enables bank notes conveyed from the first and second conveyance paths to be divided into the third and fourth conveyance paths.

An object moving apparatus for controlling the movement of an object such as a print medium includes a first motor, a second motor, a moving module, a first power transmission module, a second power transmission module and a controlling module. The moving module is for moving the object. The first power transmission module is coupled between the first motor and the moving module, and is for delivering power from the first motor to the moving module to drive the moving module to move the object. The second power transmission module is coupled between the second motor and the moving module, and is for delivering power from the second motor to the moving module to drive the moving module to move the object. The controlling module is coupled to the first and second motors, and is for selectively turning on the first motor or the second motor.

A sheet from the top of a stack of media, and is driven by a reversible electric motor operated in a forward direction to drive a feed roll and nudger roll; and operated in a reverse direction to drive a cam profiled to raise and lower the nudger roll. One-way clutched gears may be provided to restrict rotation of the feed roll and the nudger roll when the motor is operated in a reverse direction; and to restrict rotation of the cam when the motor is operated in a forward direction. A rotary cam may be profiled to allow for the reciprocating movement of the nudger roll from a down position in which the nudger roll contacts the top of the stack of media to an up position in which the distance between the nudger roll and the top of the stack of media is suitable for loading media onto the stack of media.
