    摘要: A conveyance apparatus includes a liquid discharge head unit, a conveyance rotator, and a plurality of detection devices. The liquid discharge head unit discharge liquid to an object conveyed in a conveyance direction. The conveyance rotator conveys the object. The plurality of detection devices output a detection result indicating a position of the object. The adjacent two of the plurality of detection devices are spaced at a prescribed distance. The prescribed distance is an integral multiple of a circumference of the conveyance rotator.

    摘要: A conveying apparatus for conveying a conveyance object in a conveying direction is provided. The conveying apparatus includes a detecting unit configured to detect positions of a plurality of portions in an orthogonal direction of the conveyance object during the conveyance of the conveyance object, the orthogonal direction being orthogonal to the conveying direction; and a determining unit configured to make a determination as to whether the conveyance object has been subjected to expansion or contraction in the orthogonal direction, based on detection results of the positions of the plurality of portions.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes a conveyor to convey a conveyed object in a conveyance direction, a plurality of head units to perform image formation on the conveyed object, a displacement sensor disposed downstream from the plurality of head units to detect a position adjustment image on the conveyed object, formed by the plurality of head units, and at least one processor configured to adjust an image formation position of at least one of the head units in a direction orthogonal to the conveyance direction, based on a result generated by the displacement sensor. The image forming apparatus further includes a surface sensor to obtain surface data of the conveyed object at a position corresponding to the head unit to be adjusted, and the processor further adjusts the image formation position in the orthogonal direction based on the surface data obtained by the surface sensor.
