A separation device is usable for separating portions of a material web. The separation device has at least one front clamping device, with at least one front clamping point, and at least one rear clamping device, with at least one rear clamping point, and at least one first stretching element. The separation device can be switched between at least one traversing mode and at least one separation mode by the movement of at least the at least one first stretching device between at least one first traversing position and at least one first separation position. A transport line is the shortest connection between the at least one front clamping point and the at least one rear clamping point, that connection line completely on a vertical reference plane and traversing or running at a tangent to any component of the separation device on the respective same side as one of a transport path provided for the material web and the portions to be separated. The transport line, in the at least one separation mode, is 2 mm longer than in the at least one traversing mode and has the smallest radius of curvature in the at least one separation mode of at least 0.05 mm. A first reference plane and a second reference plane are mutually spaced apart in an axial direction and a first transport line, lying on the first reference plane, and a second transport line, lying on the second reference plane, have different lengths when the first stretching element is located in the at least one first separation position.

An image forming apparatus includes: an image former, a paper feed tray that feeds a sheet to the image former, a display that displays a list of tray information on the paper feed tray, based on a mounting order with respect to an apparatus; and a controller that controls display of the display. The controller changes a display order of a list of the tray information according to a display priority based on an image forming operation.

The medium conveying device, comprises (1) a feeder configured to feed a print medium in a conveyance direction; (2) a stacker configured to stack the print medium fed by the feeder; (3) a first guide arranged in downstream side of the print medium in the conveyance direction, the first guide including a first guide surface configured to guide a downstream edge of the print medium stacked on the stacker; and (4) a second guide arranged to be movable with respect to the first guide, the second guide including a second guide surface configured to guide the downstream edge of the print medium stacked on the stacker, wherein the second guide configured to move with respect to the first guide such that the second guide surface protrudes with respect to the first guide surface in an upstream direction as the stacked amount of the print medium stacked on the stacker decreases.

Provided are an image forming apparatus and an image forming method capable of coping with a medium exceeding a transport limit of a pair of rollers in image formation in which the medium is transported with the medium interposed between the pair of rollers. In a case where a medium exceeding a transport limit of first transport means to which medium transport using a first roller and a second roller is applied is used, second transport means is used to assist in the medium transport performed by the first transport means. The driving of second driving means for driving the second transport means is controlled using a driving signal applied to the driving control of the first driving means for driving the first transport means. Medium transport in which synchronization is taken between the first transport means and the second transport means is realized.

A medium transport apparatus includes: a frame; a table including a placement surface on which a medium is placed, a first end portion, and a second end portion, the table extending from the first end portion to the second end portion and being rotatable about a first shaft portion parallel to the placement surface; a first rotor arranged adjacent to the first end portion of the table; a second rotor arranged adjacent to the second end portion of the table; a belt that is stretched by the first rotor and the second rotor, and is configured to rotate circularly and to transport the medium in a first direction from the first end portion toward the second end portion; and a biasing part that links the frame and an attachment part provided between the second end portion and the first end portion of the table, and that biases the table.

Disclosed is a device for assembling a garbage can, comprising a conveying mechanism, a correction device, a film tear-off device, an iron wire detection device, a screw locking device, a plurality of feeding devices, an assembly device, and a feeding and assembly device, wherein the film tear-off device, the correction device, the iron wire detection device, and the screw locking device are sequentially disposed along the conveying mechanism; the plurality of feeding devices, the assembly device, and the feeding and assembly device are alternately disposed between the film tear-off device, the correction device, the iron wire detection device and the screw locking device. The device for assembling a garbage can of the present invention is used for the automatic assembly and production of a garbage can.
