摘要： Tray selection in printing may involve checking for the availability of paper trays which may provide increased paper throughput, and by postponing a switch to use such trays to help avoid excessive tray switching that could adversely affect paper throughput. When a higher ranked tray is unavailable, tray selection may involve checking the availability of lower ranked trays before the present tray is empty, and by postponing a switch to such trays to help avoid excessive tray switching. A change in printing condition may provide a convenient and opportune time to switch between trays without adversely affecting paper throughput.

摘要： An image forming apparatus includes a registration unit, a first paper feeding unit, a second paper feeding unit, and a control unit, which performs a primary paper feeding for conveying a paper sheet to a registration position, finishes the primary paper feeding at timing when the paper sheet reaches the registration position, and then after operating a target paper feeding unit until a preceding feeding time elapses, performs a secondary paper feeding for conveying the paper sheet to the printing position. The control unit sets different values of the preceding feeding time for the case where the first paper feeding unit is the target paper feeding unit and the case where the second paper feeding unit is the target paper feeding unit.

摘要： There is provided a feed apparatus including a support unit, a feed roller, a swingable arm to support the feed roller, a guide unit, a movable member movable to a retracted position and a protruding position at which the movable member can abut against the sheet supported by the support unit, a driving source, driving transmission units; and a contact-separating mechanism to move the feed roller to a separated position and an abutment position at which the feed roller abuts against the sheet supported by the support unit. In a state in which the movable member is the protruding position and the feed roller is the separated position, a time required to start feeding of the sheet by the feed roller moved from the separated position to the abutment position is longer than a time required to shift the movable member from the protruding position to the retracted position.
