摘要: A medium conveying apparatus includes a medium tray, a feed roller to feed a medium placed on the medium tray, a brake roller facing the feed roller, a pressing member to press the brake roller to the feed roller side, a processor to detect media multi-feed, and control the feed roller and the brake roller in such a way that the medium is reset to the medium tray when the media multi-feed of media is detected. The processor controls the pressing member in such a way that a pressing force of the brake roller when resetting the medium to the medium tray is greater than a pressing force of the brake roller when feeding the medium.

摘要: A medium conveying apparatus includes a conveying roller to convey a medium, an overlap detection sensor, a processor to detect an overlap portion in which it is determined that an overlap has occurred on the medium based on a detection output by the overlap detection sensor for the medium conveyed by the conveying roller, calculate an overlap length where the overlap portion is continuous based on a detection result of the overlap portion, determine whether a multi-feed has occurred based on the overlap length, and execute an abnormal processing for the multi-feed based on a determination result of the multi-feed. The processor determines that a first overlap portion and a second overlap portion are continuous when a distance between the first overlap portion and the second overlap portion is within a predetermined distance in calculating the overlap length.

摘要: A medium conveying apparatus includes a conveying roller to convey a medium, and a processor to detect transmission information of an ultrasonic wave transmitted through the medium or thickness information of the medium at a plurality of positions in the conveyed medium, calculate a size of an area in which the transmission information or the thickness information is within a predetermined range in the conveyed medium, determine whether a multi-feed of the medium has occurred, by comparing a value based on the transmission information or the thickness information with a threshold, and execute an abnormality processing when it is determined that the multi-feed of the medium has occurred. The processor changes the threshold according to the size.

摘要: A medium feeding apparatus includes a medium mounting section forming a mounting face for mounting a medium thereon, a feeding roller configured to feed a lowermost medium among mediums mounted on the medium mounting section in a feeding direction, and a movement detection unit configured to output information related to movement of the medium in a direction along the mounting face, wherein based on detection information detected by a medium height detection unit that outputs information related to a height of the medium mounted on the mounting section from the mounting face in abnormality detection processing, when the height is less than a first threshold value, a control unit continues feeding the medium regardless of detection information detected by the movement detection unit or without obtaining detection information detected by the movement detection unit.

摘要: A sheet conveyance device includes a transmitter circuit, a receiver circuit, an integrator circuit which performs charging of electric charge outputted from the transmitter circuit and outputs a judgment voltage, a drive circuit, and a control circuit. The drive circuit feeds a drive signal to the transmitter circuit. At a lapse of a wait time after changing a level of a transmission instruction signal to a level instructing to feed the drive signal to the transmitter circuit, the control circuit makes the integrator circuit start to perform charging. When adjusting the wait time, the control circuit performs processing for adjustment a plurality of times. The control circuit makes the wait time different in each execution of the processing for adjustment. The control circuit determines a new wait time based on a magnitude of the judgment voltage recognized in each execution of the processing for adjustment.
