A printing apparatus includes a printing unit, a first conveyance unit configured to convey a print medium in a conveyance direction, a second conveyance unit configured to convey a print medium printed by the printing unit, on a downstream side in the conveyance direction of the first conveyance unit, and a control unit configured to perform reduction control of reducing an overlap amount of a preceding print medium and a succeeding print medium, from an overlap state in which the succeeding print medium overlaps a trailing edge of the preceding print medium. The reduction control includes control of conveying the preceding print medium conveyed by the second conveyance unit faster than the succeeding print medium conveyed by the first conveyance unit, in a state in which the first conveyance unit is capable of conveying the succeeding print medium.

Printing apparatus includes a paper support configurated to support a sheet body, a TOF sensor configured to detect a distance to the sheet body, a conveyor configured to convey a sheet medium in the sheet body, a printing device configured to print on the sheet medium conveyed by the conveyor, and a controller. The controller is configured to execute remaining amount detection processing that detects a remaining amount of the sheet medium based on a detection result of the distance to the sheet body by the TOF sensor, and calibration processing that corrects distance detection deviation of the TOF sensor based on a detection result of a distance to a predetermined detection object by the TOF sensor in a predetermined state in which a distance from the TOF sensor to the detection object is a predetermined value.

According to one embodiment, a sheet conveying device includes a placement tray, a presence detection sensor, and a control unit. The placement tray places a sheet thereon. The presence detection sensor detects the presence or absence of the sheet on the placement tray. The control unit delays a determination timing of the presence or absence of the sheet placed on the placement tray to a predetermined timing when a condition indicating that the remaining sheets placed on the placement tray are only a few is satisfied.

A recording medium processing apparatus includes first teeth that are used for binding processing of a recording medium bundle; second teeth that move toward the first teeth and press the recording medium bundle located between the first teeth and the second teeth; and a control unit that moves the second teeth toward the first teeth to press the second teeth against the first teeth in a state in which there is no recording medium bundle between the first teeth and the second teeth.

A media feeding apparatus includes a media mounting section, a first feed roller, a media pressing section for pressing media sheets against the first feed roller, and a pressing force adjuster for adjusting the pressing force of the media pressing section. The controller sets the pressing force of the media pressing section to first pressing force and drives the first feed roller and the second feed roller in a forward rotation direction, and in a case in which the first detector detects a passage of a leading edge of the media sheet and the second detector detects no passage of the leading edge of the media sheet after predetermined first set time has passed, the controller continues the rotation of the first feed roller and the second feed roller with second pressing force of the media pressing section greater than or equal to the first pressing force.

An inkjet recording apparatus includes, among a plurality of branch conveyance passages, ones with different conveyance distances for a recording medium. Based on the timing of the sensing of the recording medium by a recording medium sensor, a controller controls a switching portion to make it switch the destination of the conveyance of the recording medium to one of the branch conveyance passages.

A printing apparatus includes a feeding roller configured to feed a printing sheet stacked on a stacking unit, a conveyance roller configured to convey the printing sheet fed by the feeding roller, a printing unit configured to print the printing sheet conveyed by the conveyance roller, a conveyance control unit configured to control conveyance of printing sheets so that the trailing edge of a preceding sheet as a printing sheet precedingly fed from the stacking unit and the leading edge of a succeeding sheet as a printing sheet succeedingly fed from the stacking unit overlap each other, and a determination unit configured to determine whether to convey the succeeding sheet to a position facing the printing unit while keeping an overlap state between the preceding sheet and the succeeding sheet.

A printing apparatus includes a feeding roller configured to feed a printing sheet stacked on a stacking unit, a conveyance roller configured to convey the printing sheet fed by the feeding roller, a printing unit configured to print the printing sheet conveyed by the conveyance roller, a conveyance control unit configured to control conveyance of printing sheets so that the trailing edge of a preceding sheet as a printing sheet precedingly fed from the stacking unit and the leading edge of a succeeding sheet as a printing sheet succeedingly fed from the stacking unit overlap each other, and a determination unit configured to determine whether to convey the succeeding sheet to a position facing the printing unit while keeping an overlap state between the preceding sheet and the succeeding sheet.

A printing apparatus includes a feeding roller, a conveyance roller, a first driving unit configured to drive the conveyance roller, a second driving unit configured to drive the feeding roller, a control unit configured to control the first and second driving units, a detection unit configured to detect an error related to the second driving unit, and a determination unit configured to determine, when the detection unit has detected the error related to the second driving unit, whether to continue the conveyance of a first print medium based on a leading edge position of a second print medium. In a case in which an error is detected by the detection unit, the control unit controls the conveyance of the first print medium by the conveyance roller based on a determination result of the determination unit.

An image forming system includes a first feeding portion configured to feed a recording sheet, an image forming portion, a sheet conveyance path, a second feeding portion configured to feed an inserting sheet from any of a plurality of supporting portions including a first supporting portion and a second supporting portion, a detection portion, and a controller. The controller is configured to execute, during execution of a process of feeding a first inserting sheet from the first supporting portion to the sheet conveyance path, a movement processing of moving a second inserting sheet supported on the second supporting portion to a position where a trailing edge of the second inserting sheet is placed downstream in a sheet conveyance direction of a detection position of the detection portion and thereafter stopping the second inserting sheet.
