There is provided a conveyance system including a plurality of rollers, a plurality of motors, a plurality of measuring devices, and a controller. The controller is configured to carry out the processes of: determining a control input on each of the plurality of motors, inputting a drive signal according to the control input, calculating an estimated reaction force value for each of the rollers, calculating an estimated tension value for each pair of the adjacent rollers, calculating a tension control input for each pair, and calculating a state control input on a particular one of the rollers. The controller determines the control input on each of the plurality of motors based on the tension control input for each pair and the state control input on the particular roller.

A sensor signal is generated from a plurality of sensors located on a sensing roll, wherein each signal is generated when each sensor enters a first nip between the sensing roll and a rotating component during each rotation of the sensing roll. A rotating applicator rod forms forming a second nip with the sensing roll such that each sensor enters the second nip during each rotation of the sensing roll. A periodically occurring starting reference is generated associated with each rotation of the applicator rod and the signal generated by each sensor is received so that a particular one of the sensors which generated the signal is determined and one of a plurality of tracking segments is identified. The signal is stored to associate the sensor signal with the identified one tracking segment.

A printer includes a transportation unit that transports roll paper, a winding unit that winds up the transported roll paper, and a controller that controls the transportation unit and the winding unit. The controller switches between thresholds for a torque limit of the winding unit on the basis of inertia of the winding unit and a speed at which the roll paper is transported when the winding unit winds up the roll paper in synchronization with a transportation operation of the transportation unit.

A paper conveying apparatus includes: a driving device which rotates a driving rotating body by driving force; a conveying device which conveys a paper along a conveyance path according to rotation of a driven rotating body; an endless drive transmission belt which is stretched to the driving rotating body and the driven rotating body; a conveyance amount detecting device which detects a conveyance amount of the paper; an abnormality detecting device which detects abnormality of the paper; a stopping device which stops the driving device when the abnormality is detected; a calculating device which calculates the conveyance amount in time before conveyance stops after the abnormality is detected; a degradation detecting device which compares the calculated conveyance amount and a threshold and determines that the drive transmission belt is degraded if the calculated conveyance amount is larger than the threshold; and a reporting device which reports a determination result.

A temporary holding section includes bridge portions that span along a shaft direction across respective groove portions of a drum at plural discrete locations around the drum circumferential direction. The temporary holding section can accordingly prevent an outer tape and an inner tape from slipping off into the groove portions, enabling damage to the tapes to be forestalled. The temporary holding section can also precisely determine the presence or absence of a banknote by shining a drum detection light toward the groove portions so as to pass through opening hole portions.

A removable media tray for an imaging device having a rear media restraint coupled to a media length sensing system. A rear media restraint, slideably latchable to a track in the tray, has a rack that engages with a gear train that drives an encoder gear. As the rear media restraint is adjusted for different media lengths, the rack and gear train rotate the encoder gear. The encoder gear has a plurality of encoder tracks each track having a unique binary pattern. A sensor array of a plurality of sensors corresponding to the plurality of encoder tracks has a plurality of outputs that combine to form a digital signal fed to a controller in the imaging device allowing the controller to determine a media length based in the position of the rear media restraint.

A feed device includes a feed roller, a transport roller pair provided further to the downstream side in the transport direction of a sheet than the feed roller, a first motor by which the feed roller is driven, and a second motor by which the transport roller pair is driven, and in which a controller that controls the first motor, and performs a skew removal operation accompanying reverse transport of the sheet by the transport roller pair causes a reverse current and a hold current as suppression currents that suppress the reverse transport amount of the feed roller to the reverse transport amount of the transport roller pair or less to flow to the first motor in at least a part of the skew removal operation.
摘要:
A media stiffness sensor assembly for an imaging device. The assembly comprises a translation mechanism coupled to a contact member, a drive mechanism coupled to the translation mechanism and a position sensor for providing a signal indicative of the position of the contact member. The assembly is mounted within an imaging device so that the contact member is moved into bending contact with a cantilevered portion of a media sheet in the media path. The energy used to translate the contact member from a home position into the cantilevered portion of a media sheet in the media path to deflect the cantilevered portion is used to determine a weight of the media sheet.

Provided are a sheet feeding device and an image forming apparatus which can feed a sheet by an electrostatic adsorption with a simple configuration and with low noises.One end of a flexible adsorption member (29) is fixed to a holding member (24) rotating in a sheet feeding direction, and comes into surface contact with a sheet (P) stored in a sheet feeding cassette (20) while being elastically deformed when the holding member (24) is rotated, and adsorbs the sheet (P) by an adsorbing force by static electricity. Then, the sheet (P1) adsorbed to the adsorption member (29) is delivered to a registration roller (15) while winding up the adsorption member (29), and then the holding member (24) is stopped at a position where the adsorption member (29) is separated from the sheet.
