    摘要: A sheet conveying apparatus includes: a first conveying portion in which a band-shaped sheet including a first surface and a second surface is conveyed with the first surface facing downward; a turning portion located downstream of the first conveying portion and flips the sheet with the first surface facing inward; and a second conveying portion located downstream of the turning portion. The turning portion includes a convex curve along which the sheet is flipped. The convex curve includes a first and a second air ejection portions. The first air ejection portion is located in an upstream end region and ejects air toward the first surface of the sheet. The second air ejection portion is located downstream of the upstream end region and ejects air toward the first surface. The first air ejection portion ejects air to generate flotation larger than that of the second air ejection portion.

    摘要: A medium transport device include: an inclination corrector including a first inclination correction member and a second inclination correction member disposed away from each other in a width direction of a medium, the first inclination correction member and the second inclination correction member being individually drivable during transport of the medium, the inclination corrector being configured to correct an inclination of the medium relative to a transport direction of the medium by causing a difference in the transport of the medium between the first inclination correction member and the second inclination correction member; and a medium transporter disposed on a downstream side of the inclination corrector in the transport direction and configured to transport the medium, the medium transporter including a pair of medium transport members disposed across the medium in a thickness direction of the medium, the medium transport members being movable between a transport position where the medium transport members nip and transport the medium and a non-nipping position where a nip of the medium is canceled. During correction of the inclination of the medium by the inclination corrector, the medium transporter is moved to the non-nipping position.

    摘要: A sheet transport apparatus includes a first direction changing roller arranged along a transport path, wherein a sheet is transported along the transport path; a second direction changing roller disposed on the transport path, wherein the first direction changing roller and the second direction changing roller are next to each other in a direction perpendicular to the transport path, and the first direction changing roller and the second direction changing roller change an orientation of the sheet from a first orientation to a second orientation; and a control circuit configured to control one of the first direction changing roller and the second direction changing roller so that the first direction changing roller rotates slower than the second direction changing roller so as to change the orientation of the sheet from the first orientation to the second orientation.

    摘要: A sheet conveyance device includes a conveyance roller pair. A skew correction roller pair conveys the sheet after contacting two nip portions, and a sheet skew is corrected in a state in which the skew correction roller pair is being stopped. The sheet having a toner image is bent by a first conveyance guide such that a sheet first surface becomes an inside surface. The sheet is bent by the first and second conveyance guides to cause the sheet first surface to be the inside surface and a sheet second surface to be an outside surface. The skew correction roller pair includes two first rotary members of a first roller. A second roller and the two first rotary members form the two nip portions. The second roller and the first conveyance guide contact the sheet first surface. The first roller and the second conveyance guide contact the sheet second surface.

    摘要: A paper feeding mechanism includes a feeding path, a driving motor, a bidirectional transmission mechanism, at least one feeding roller, a unidirectional transmission mechanism and at least one blocking roller. The driving motor is controllable to output a driving force towards a forward direction or a driving force towards a reverse direction. The bidirectional transmission mechanism is connected to the driving motor. The at least one feeding roller is mounted in the feeding path. The at least one feeding roller is connected to the bidirectional transmission mechanism. The unidirectional transmission mechanism is connected to the driving motor. The at least one blocking roller is mounted in the feeding path. The at least one blocking roller is disposed to a downstream of the at least one feeding roller. The at least one blocking roller is connected to the unidirectional transmission mechanism.
