Abstract:
A sheet conveyance control method in an apparatus including a first conveying path for leading a sheet from a feeing port to a discharge port, a second sheet conveying path for leading the sheet to another conveyance destination, and a decoloring processing section configured to decolor an image formed on the sheet includes: detecting the length of the sheet further on a downstream side than the feeding port and further on an upstream side than a branching point of the first and second sheet conveying paths in a sheet conveying direction of the first sheet conveying path; and changing, if the trailing end of the sheet is not detected in a period after the leading end of the sheet is detected and before the leading end of the sheet reaches the branching point, a first flapper to a state in which the sheet is conveyed to the discharge port.
Abstract:
A sheet finisher of the invention includes a saddle stitch unit configured to stitch a center of a sheet bundle in which printed sheets are bundled, a fold unit configured to fold the center stitched by the saddle stitch unit and to form a fold line, a fold reinforcing unit that includes a reinforce roller, moves the reinforce roller along a direction of the fold line while applying pressure by the reinforce roller to the fold line of the sheet bundle transported from the fold unit, and reinforces the fold line, and a control unit configured to transport the sheet bundle from the fold unit to the fold reinforcing unit and to control to stop the fold line of the sheet bundle at a position of the reinforce roller, and the control unit changes, according to a thickness of the sheet bundle, a transport distance from a specified position in the fold reinforcing unit to the position where the sheet bundle is stopped.
Abstract:
Provided is an RF plug connector which includes: a conductive terminal portion; and an annular conductive coaxial portion that is arranged around the terminal portion, wherein a pair of conductive lead portions extending in the same direction is provided at the outer circumference of the coaxial portion, the terminal portion comprises a lead portion that is arranged between the pair of lead portions so as to be parallel to an extension direction thereof, and impedance control is performed by adjusting the distance between the lead portion of the terminal portion and the lead portions of the coaxial portion.
Abstract:
A sheet finishing apparatus includes an outer wall having a discharge port of sheets; a movable tray on which the sheets discharged from the discharge port are stacked, the movable tray vertically moving along the outer wall according to a stack amount of the sheets; a curl sensor that detects a curled state of the sheets before the sheets are discharged from the discharge port; and a control unit that controls at least one of a discharge speed of the sheets and a position of the movable tray according to the detected curled state of the sheets.
Abstract:
According to one embodiment of the present invention, an erasing apparatus includes a used sheet stacking tray, an image erasing unit, a stand-by tray, a stand-by tray driving unit, and an erased sheet stacking tray. The used sheet stacking tray stacks thereon a used sheet on which an image is formed using an erasable colorant of which a color is erased by a predetermined heating process. The image erasing unit performs the heating for the used sheet which is received one by one from the used sheet stacking tray and discharges an erased sheet from which the image formed on the used sheet is erased. The stand-by tray has a mechanism which can be driven in a predetermined direction and places thereon the erased sheet discharged by the image erasing unit. The stand-by tray driving unit drives the stand-by tray and enables the erased sheet to free-drop. The erased sheet stacking tray is disposed under the stand-by tray and stacks thereon the erased sheet which free-drops from the stand-by tray.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes: a first image forming unit which forms a first image on a first recording medium with a first material which is not thermally decolorized; a second image forming unit which forms a second image on a second recording medium with a second material which is thermally decolorized; a fixing unit which is on a common carrying path shared by the first recording medium and the second recording medium and fixes the first image to the first recording medium; and a control unit which controls the fixing unit so that the temperature of the second recording medium passing through the fixing unit becomes lower than a decolorizing temperature of the second material.
Abstract:
A sheet finisher of the invention includes a saddle stitch unit configured to stitch a center of a sheet bundle in which printed sheets are bundled, a fold unit configured to fold the center stitched by the saddle stitch unit and to form a fold line, and a fold reinforcing unit configured to reinforce the fold line formed by the fold unit, the fold reinforcing unit includes a roller unit that includes a reinforce roller with a structure for preventing an occurrence of a wrinkle, and moves along a direction of the fold line while applying pressure by the reinforce roller to the fold line of the sheet bundle transported from the fold unit, and a drive unit configured to move the roller unit along the direction of the fold line from a standby position located at a position separate from an end of the sheet bundle.
Abstract:
An image erasing apparatus includes: a paper feeding tray configured to feed a recording medium; a sensor group including a double-feed detection sensor configured to detect double feed of the recording medium and a media sensor configured to detect the thickness of the recording medium; a collecting device configured to drop the recording medium in the vertical direction and collect the recording medium; and a recording-medium conveying device configured to convey the recording medium.
Abstract:
A sheet finisher of the invention includes a fold reinforcing unit that reinforces the fold line. The fold reinforcing unit includes a roller unit, a drive unit that has a single motor and moves the roller unit along the direction of the fold line from a standby position; and a nip unit. The nip unit includes a first nip plate and a second nip plate. The first nip plate and the second nip plate are opened in a thickness direction of the sheet bundle when the roller unit is located at the standby position, and are closed to nip the sheet bundle when the roller unit reinforces the fold line after the sheet bundle is transported to between the first and the second nip plate. The second nip plate is driven to be opened and closed in the thickness direction of the sheet bundle by the single motor.
Abstract:
An image erasing apparatus includes an inlet receiving recording mediums sheet by sheet, a door key limiting the opening of a security box, an overlap feed sensor sensing the overlap feed of the recording mediums, plural size sensors sensing the sizes of the recording mediums, a movable tray on which the recording mediums input from the inlet are placed, a recovery box disposed below the movable tray to recover the recording mediums, and a recording medium carrying mechanism carrying the recording mediums.
