    Abstract: A recording-material-transporting apparatus includes: a transport unit that transports a recording material by using a driving rotating member that performs a rotational driving operation and a driven rotating member that rotates upon receiving a driving force from the driving rotating member; a number-of-rotation information acquisition unit that is connected to the driven rotating member and that acquires information regarding a number of rotation of the driven rotating member; and a restricting portion against which the number-of-rotation information acquisition unit is pressed and that restricts a movement of the number-of-rotation information acquisition unit.

    Abstract: A recording-material-transporting apparatus includes: a transport unit that transports a recording material and causes the recording material to pass through an upstream location and a downstream location that is positioned downstream of the upstream location in a recording-material-transporting direction in which the recording material is transported; an upstream reader including a light receiver that receives light reflected by the recording material, the upstream reader reading an image that is formed on a portion of the recording material positioned at the upstream location and that is formed on one surface of the recording material; and a downstream reader including a light receiver that receives light reflected by the recording material, the downstream reader reading an image that is formed on a portion of the recording material positioned at the downstream location and that is formed on other surface of the recording material. The light receiver of the upstream reader is positioned downstream of the upstream location in the recording-material-transporting direction, and/or the light receiver of the downstream reader is positioned upstream of the downstream location in the recording-material-transporting direction.

    Abstract: A recording-material-transporting apparatus includes: a transport unit that transports a recording material along a transport path; at least one image reader that reads an image formed on the recording material transported by the transport unit; and a common housing that supports the transport unit and the at least one image reader. The transport path is accessible by a user through at least one gap existing between the transport path and the at least one image reader.

    Abstract: An image inspection device includes: an illumination part extending in a width direction of a medium, which intersects a medium transport direction, so as to face a medium transport path, and configured to radiate light on an image formed on a surface of the medium; a reading part configured to read reflected light from the image as image inspection information; and a cooling part configured to cool an entire area of the illumination part in the width direction of the medium. The cooling part includes one blowing part provided on one side in the width direction of the medium and configured to suck and blow outside air, a first guide extending in the width direction of the medium and configured to guide the air blown from the blowing part to a flow path extending in the width direction of the medium, and a second guide configured to guide the air, guided by the first guide, in the medium transport direction to a space where the illumination part is disposed, and distribute the air such that an air volume is uniform over the entire area of the illumination part in the width direction of the medium.

    Abstract: A cleaning device includes: a cleaning unit that cleans a cleaning section by coming into contact with the cleaning section, the cleaning section being disposed in a transport space through which a medium is transported; a support unit that supports the cleaning unit, the support unit rotating about a rotation center to cause the cleaning unit to pass the cleaning section in a direction along a transporting direction in which the medium is transported; and a removing unit that is disposed upstream of the cleaning section in the transporting direction of the medium and that comes into contact with the cleaning unit to remove a substance adhering to the cleaning unit.

    Abstract: An image reading apparatus including: a transport path along which a recording material is transported from an upstream location toward a downstream location; and an image reader that reads an image formed on a portion of the recording material in the transport path, the portion being positioned at a specific location on the transport path. A width of the transport path in a thickness direction of the recording material transported along the transport path at the specific location is less than an upstream width and/or less than a downstream width, the upstream width being a width of the transport path at a location upstream of the specific location, the downstream width being a width of the transport path at a location downstream of the specific location.
