SHEET CONVEYANCE DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
A sheet conveyance device includes a feeding unit, a first conveyance path, a registration roller pair, a first conveyance roller pair, a first sensor, a second sensor, and a control unit, wherein the control unit controls the first conveyance roller pair to correct skew of the sheet, and when a sheet is conveyed from the first conveyance roller pair toward the registration roller pair, in a case where a time is a first time, the control unit controls the conveyance of the sheet so that the sheet is conveyed toward the second sensor at a first speed, and in a case where a time is a second time longer than the first time, the control unit controls the conveyance of the sheet so that the sheet is conveyed toward the second sensor at a second speed larger than the first speed.
MEDIUM FEEDING APPARATUS
A medium feeding apparatus includes a media tray, a feed roller to feed a medium placed on the media tray, a driving source to generate a driving force, and a drive transmission assembly to transmit the driving force from the driving source to a rotation shaft of the feed roller. The drive transmission assembly is located inner than an end of a medium conveying path in a direction intersecting a medium conveying direction.
Transport device and printing apparatus
A transporting belt constituting a transport device transports a medium supported by a front surface in a transport direction. A removal unit includes a blade that comes into contact with the front surface to remove an adhering substance. A plurality of detectors detect a force received by the blade from the transporting belt or a change in the force. A display unit displays information. An adjustment unit is configured to adjust a position of the blade relative to the transporting belt. Each of the detectors are provided corresponding to a respective one of a plurality of regions into which the transporting belt is divided in the width direction intersecting the transport direction. When the control unit determines that there is an abnormal region among the regions based on detection results of the detectors, the control unit causes the display unit to display information indicating the abnormal region.
