    摘要: A recording-material-transporting apparatus includes: a transport unit that transports a recording material and causes the recording material to pass through an upstream location and a downstream location that is positioned downstream of the upstream location in a recording-material-transporting direction in which the recording material is transported; an upstream reader including a light receiver that receives light reflected by the recording material, the upstream reader reading an image that is formed on a portion of the recording material positioned at the upstream location and that is formed on one surface of the recording material; and a downstream reader including a light receiver that receives light reflected by the recording material, the downstream reader reading an image that is formed on a portion of the recording material positioned at the downstream location and that is formed on other surface of the recording material. The light receiver of the upstream reader is positioned downstream of the upstream location in the recording-material-transporting direction, and/or the light receiver of the downstream reader is positioned upstream of the downstream location in the recording-material-transporting direction.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes: a conveyor conveying a sheet medium; an image forming part forming an image on the sheet medium; a cutting part; a signal outputting part outputting a state signal; a reporting part; and a controller. The controller executes: an image forming process of conveying the sheet medium by the conveyor and forming the image on the sheet medium by the image forming part, and a cutting process of moving the cutting part. In a case where the sheet medium has not been cut even though the cutting process was executed during image formation on the sheet medium in the image forming process, the controller continues the image formation without interruption and causes the reporting part to report information regarding a failure of cutting of the sheet medium.

    摘要: An image recording device includes: a conveyer configured to convey a sheet set in a first feeding tray in a state in which the sheet is wound in a roll shape to serve as a roll sheet; a recording device configured to record an image on the sheet conveyed by the conveyer; a display; and a controller. The controller is configured to execute: a process of stopping conveyance of the sheet in response to detection of an abnormality in the sheet after the conveyance of the sheet is started; and a process of causing the display to display thereon at least one object display screen which indicates, by an object, a target location to restore the abnormality in the sheet to a normal state.

    摘要: A scanner includes: a first transport roller pair that transports a material; a reader that reads the material; a second transport roller pair that transports the material; a transport motor; and a pressing section. The transport motor 50 rotates both the rollers of the first transport roller pair and both the rollers of the second transport roller pair. The pressing section can vary a first pressing force generated in the first transport roller pair and a second pressing force generated in the second transport roller pair. The pressing section varies the second pressing force in such a way that the second pressing force when the first transport roller pair transports the material but the second transport roller pair does not transport the material becomes lower than the second pressing force when neither the first transport roller pair nor the second transport roller pair transports the material.

    摘要: A medium transportation device for transporting a medium. The medium transportation device including a first transportation roller pair that nips and transports the medium with a first uneven roller of which a surface coming into contact with the medium is provided with protrusions and recesses and a first facing roller that faces the first uneven roller. A second transportation roller pair is positioned downstream of the first transportation roller pair in a medium transportation direction and nips and transports the medium with a second uneven roller of which a surface coming into contact with the medium is provided with protrusions and recesses and a second facing roller that faces the second uneven roller. The first uneven roller comes into contact with a first surface and the second uneven roller comes into contact with a second surface.
