    摘要: A medium supply apparatus supplying a rolled medium includes a tension member contacts to the medium to apply a tension to the medium, a state switching part that switches states of the tension member between first and second states, and a control unit. The tension member is swingable between a first position at which a first corner angle (θ1) and a second position at which a second corner angle (θ2) is formed, the second corner angle (θ2) being greater than the first corner angle (θ1). The control unit causes the state switching part to switch the state of the tension member to the fixed state in the first position when the medium is supplied, the control unit causes the state switching part to switch the state of the tension member to the releasing state in the first position when the control unit does not receive an image forming start signal for a predetermined period, and the control unit causes the state switching part to switch the state of the tension member to the fixed state when the tension member reaches the second position.

    摘要: The machine comprises an unwinding section (3) for unwinding parent reels (Ba, Bb) of web material (Na, Nb), and at least one unwinding station (15). A winding device (41, 53) is arranged in the unwinding station, and a longitudinal strip (S) of web material is fed to it and a respective spool (B) of web material is formed in it. A control unit (70) is also provided, configured to control the winding speed of the longitudinal strip (S) in the winding station (15), so as to perform an acceleration cycle to accelerate the winding of the longitudinal strip (S), comprising at least one step of gradually increasing the feeding speed (Vp) of the longitudinal strip (S), wherein the feeding speed is linked to the diameter of the spool (B).

    摘要: An image forming apparatus, having a housing with an opening, an image forming unit, a path to guide a recording medium toward the opening, a reversible roller disposed in the path, and an intermediate reversible roller disposed between the image forming unit and the reversible roller, is provided. A rotating direction of the reversible roller is switchable between a first rotating direction and a second rotating direction opposite from the first rotating direction. A circumferential speed of the reversible roller is switchable between a predetermined circumferential speed and none. A rotating direction of the intermediate reversible roller is switchable between a third rotating direction and a fourth rotating direction opposite from the third rotating direction. The circumferential speed of the reversible roller in the first rotating direction is reduced to be lower than the predetermined circumferential speed while the intermediate reversible roller is rotating in the third rotating direction.
