20140078206 | PRINTING APPARATUS, CONVEYING APPARATUS, AND CONTROL METHOD - A printing apparatus includes a printing unit, first and second conveying units conveying a printing medium, a driving unit driving the first and second conveying units, and a control unit controlling the driving unit. The conveyance state of the printing medium makes transition from a first conveyance state in which the printing medium is conveyed only by the first conveying unit to a second conveyance state in which the printing medium is conveyed by both the first and second conveying units. The control unit controls the driving unit based on a fluctuation in a load that mutually acts between the first and second conveying units through the printing medium to suppress a fluctuation in a conveyance amount at the time of the transition of the conveyance state from the first conveyance state to the second conveyance state. | 03-20-2014 |
20140078207 | PRINTING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD - A printing apparatus includes a printing unit, a first and second conveying units conveying a printing medium, a driving unit driving the conveying units and a control unit controlling the driving unit. A load mutually acting on the conveying units through the medium in a conveyance state by the conveying units is recursively calculated for each predetermined conveyance unit while setting the initial value to 0. The driving unit is controlled based on the calculation result at the time of the transition to suppress a fluctuation in a conveyance amount at the time of the transition of the conveyance state of the medium from the conveyance state by the conveying units to a conveyance state only by the second conveying unit. | 03-20-2014 |
20140078210 | CONVEYANCE APPARATUS AND RECORDING APPARATUS - The conveyance apparatus includes a first conveyance unit configured to convey a sheet in a conveyance direction, and a second conveyance unit disposed on a downstream side of the first conveyance unit in the conveyance direction and configured to convey the sheet in the conveyance direction. The conveyance apparatus corrects a rotational amount of each conveyance unit using a correction value dedicated to each rotational phase of each conveyance unit for each conveyance state, in a first conveyance state in which the first conveyance unit is operative to convey the sheet, a second conveyance state in which the first and second conveyance units are cooperative to convey the sheet, and a third conveyance state in which the second conveyance unit is operative to convey the sheet. | 03-20-2014 |
20140078211 | CONVEYANCE APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CALCULATING CONVEYANCE CORRECTION VALUE - Based on a conveyance amount in a second conveyance state where a sheet is conveyed by both a first conveyance unit and a second conveyance unit being a conveyance amount obtained by subjecting a conveyance amount in a first conveyance state where the sheet is conveyed only by the first conveyance unit and a conveyance amount in a third conveyance state where the sheet is conveyed only by the second conveyance unit to weighted average with difficulty of slipping of the first or second conveyance unit to the sheet as a weighting coefficient, a remaining conveyance amount is calculated from any two conveyance amounts from among conveyance amounts of the first, the second and the third conveyance states, and a correction value for conveyance is set from the calculated conveyance amount. | 03-20-2014 |

20110076080 | IMAGE RECORDING APPARATUS - An image recording apparatus includes a body, a tray, a moving member, an actuator, a sensor, a reference position moving mechanism and a control unit. The moving member is movable to a first position, a second position, a third position and a reference position. The actuator moves the moving member to the first position, the second position and the third position. The sensor outputs an ON signal or an OFF signal based on positions of the moving member, the positions including the first position, the second position, the third position and the reference position. The reference position moving mechanism moves the moving member to the reference position. The control unit determines a detection position to be detected based on a change of the ON signal and the OFF signal of the sensor when the moving member is moved between the detection position and the reference position by the reference position moving mechanism. The control unit further determines that a recording medium held on the tray is the first recording medium when the detection position is the first position and that a recording medium held on the tray is the second recording medium when the detection position is the second position. | 03-31-2011 |
20110310207 | IMAGE RECORDING DEVICE - An image recording device comprises a housing, a sheet cassette, a recording unit, and a convey path defining member. The housing has an opening. The sheet cassette is configured to hold therein sheets and configured to be inserted into and removed from the housing through the opening. The recording unit is configured to record an image on a sheet conveyed from the sheet cassette along a convey path. The convey path defining member is configured to pivot, about a pivot shaft supported by the housing, between a guiding position for forming a guide surface that defines a part of the convey path, and an exposing position for exposing the part of the convey path to the opening. The convey path defining member is configured to pivot in response to insertion and removal of the sheet cassette. | 12-22-2011 |
20110310444 | IMAGE RECORDING DEVICE - A first feeder contacts a first surface of a first sheet held in a first tray and feeds the first sheet toward a recording unit. A second feeder contacts a first surface of a second sheet held in a second tray and feeds the second sheet toward the recording unit. An inner member is disposed above a standing plate. An outer member comprises an upstream portion opposing the standing plate, and a downstream portion opposing the inner member. The inner member guides the first surface of the first sheet and the first surface of the second sheet. The standing plate guides the first surface of the second sheet. The upstream portion of the outer member guides a second surface of the second sheet, and the downstream portion guides a second surface of the first sheet and the second surface of the second sheet. The standing plate moves relative to the outer member. | 12-22-2011 |

20150115517 | IMAGE RECORDING DEVICE - A first feeder contacts a first surface of a first sheet held in a first tray and feeds the first sheet toward a recording unit. A second feeder contacts a first surface of a second sheet held in a second tray and feeds the second sheet toward the recording unit. An inner member is disposed above a standing plate. An outer member comprises an upstream portion opposing the standing plate, and a downstream portion opposing the inner member. The inner member guides the first surface of the first sheet and the first surface of the second sheet. The standing plate guides the first surface of the second sheet. The upstream portion of the outer member guides a second surface of the second sheet, and the downstream portion guides a second surface of the first sheet and the second surface of the second sheet. The standing plate moves relative to the outer member. | 04-30-2015 |
