A conveying device includes a sensor to read a sheet to be conveyed, a first conveyor arranged on an upstream side from the sensor in a sheet conveying direction of the sheet, a second conveyor arranged on a downstream side from the sensor in the sheet conveying direction, and correcting circuitry to correct a distance of the sheet having an error detected when the sensor reads the sheet conveyed by the first conveyor and the second conveyor, to an actual distance. The correcting circuitry uses at least a first correction value correcting a distance read by the sensor when the first conveyor conveys the sheet and a second correction value correcting a distance read by the sensor when the second conveyor conveys the sheet.

A reading apparatus to convey a document set on a document tray and to read an image of the conveyed document includes a control unit and a determining unit. The control unit performs lifting control for lifting the document tray in a case where a first condition is satisfied and performs lowering control for lowering the document tray in a case where a second condition is satisfied. The determining unit determines whether a predetermined period elapses after the lifting control of previous time is started. The control unit does not perform the lowering control even if the second condition is satisfied in a case where the determining unit determines that the predetermined period does not elapse.

In an example of the disclosure, a driver correction specification is calculated based upon a time differential between a first sensor detection of a first portion of a leading edge of a media sheet and second sensor detection of a second portion of the leading edge. The driver correction specification is for causing skew correction of the media sheet as the media sheet moves along a media path to impact a blocker element. The driver is caused to operate according to the calculated driver correction specification.

An image reading apparatus includes a reading unit, a transport unit that transport a document, a feeding unit that transports the document to the transport unit, a controller that stops the feeding operation of the feeding unit after the leading end of the preceding document transported from the feeding unit reaches the transport unit and restarts the feeding operation after the rear end of the preceding document passes a predetermined position. The controller, restarts the feeding operation a first time after the rear end of the succeeding document following the preceding document passes the predetermined position when a size of the preceding document indicates a first size, and restarts the feeding operation a second time after the rear end of the succeeding document passes the predetermined position where the second time is longer than the first time when the size indicates a second size larger than the first size.

Disclosed are methods and systems for dispensing a printed document from a printer machine with a dispensing device. For instance, a document being printed out from the printer machine may be monitored for, and a determination that a document is being printed out from the printer machine may be made based on the monitoring. The printed document may be engaged with an arm mechanism of the dispensing device, the printed document may be urged towards a slot of the dispensing device with the arm mechanism, and the printed document may be dispensed out of the slot with the arm mechanism.

An image forming apparatus includes a stacking unit, a feeding unit, an image forming unit, a discharge stacking unit, a detecting unit, a double-side feeding passage, and a controller. In a case that subsequent to a current recording material, a subsequent recording material is discharged, the controller determines a feeding timing of the subsequent recording material depending on a discharge interval time from discharge of the current recording material on the discharge stacking unit to discharge of the subsequent recording material on the discharge stacking unit, and determines the discharge interval time on the basis of print information of at least the subsequent recording material.

An example method includes maintaining, by a processing resource associated with a finisher communicatively coupled to a printer, an interpage delay table, the interpage delay table storing an interpage delay value for each of a plurality of page attribute combinations. The method further includes processing, by the finisher, a job based at least in part on a particular interpage delay value stored in the interpage delay table for an identified page attribute combination.
