An image forming apparatus includes: a sheet feeding conveyor that feeds and conveys a recording medium to a conveyance path; an image former that performs image formation on the recording medium; a medium sensor that is disposed on an upstream side of the recording medium from the image former on the conveyance path and measures one or more sheet physical properties regarding the recording medium conveyed; a first hardware processor that determines a type of the recording medium on a basis of the sheet physical properties measured by the medium sensor; a second hardware processor that determines conveyance performance for the recording medium; and a third hardware processor that determines whether or not to perform the image formation on a basis of the conveyance performance in a case where the type of the recording medium determined by the first hardware processor is a type out of product specifications.

A compound equipment of a latex-free tufted carpet is provided. The compound equipment includes an unwinding device, a compound roller, and a shaping device. The unwinding device is configured to unwind a rolled blank blanket, a hot-melt fiber mesh, and secondary cloth. The compound roller is configured to stack and compound the unwound blank carpet, the unwound hot-melt fiber mesh and the unwound secondary cloth in sequence to obtain a preformed tufted carpet. The shaping device is configured for the setting of the preformed tufted carpet at a preset temperature to obtain a finished tufted carpet. Combined with the hot-melt fiber mesh, the secondary cloth and the blank carpet are consolidated by means of thermally induced bonding, and latex is not needed for consolidation.

A friction transport device includes a drive-side unit that transmits a transport driving force to one surface of a paper sheet transported along a transport path; a drive motor that supplies a driving force to the drive-side unit; a driven roller that is arranged to oppose the drive-side unit and that followingly rotates in contact with the other surface of the paper sheet; and a transport grip adjustment mechanism. The drive-side unit includes a drive roller that rotates on a shaft part orthogonal to a normal paper sheet transport direction, a rocking arm that includes the shaft part at one portion thereof and that has another portion thereof pivotally supported by a rocking shaft so as to change a transport grip by rocking the drive roller to change a distance from the driven roller, and an elastic biasing member that elastically biases the drive roller toward the driven roller via the rocking arm. The transport grip adjustment mechanism is configured to cause the drive roller to retreat in a direction away from the driven roller against a biasing force from the elastic biasing member to decrease the transport grip when transport load applied to the drive roller from the paper sheet transported on the transport path by the drive roller forwardly rotating changes beyond a predetermined value.

A sheet conveyance apparatus includes a casing, an electric cable including a conductor and an insulator configured to cover the conductor, and a guide member attached to the casing and configured to guide the electric cable, wherein the guide member includes a wire-forming member formed of a metal wire, and wherein the electric cable is wired along the guide member with at least one of the electric cable and the guide member twisted around the other of the electric cable and the guide member.

A sheet conveying device includes a conveyor, a curved conveyance passage, a conveyance sensor, and processing circuitry. The conveyor conveys a sheet. The sheet is conveyed by the conveyor along the curved conveyance passage. The conveyance sensor detects a presence of the sheet and is disposed at a curved position of the conveyance passage. The processing circuitry determines clogging of the sheet from an output result of the conveyance sensor. When a specific type of the sheet is conveyed, the processing circuitry stops determination of clogging of the sheet for a period of time from when the conveyance sensor detects passage of a leading end of the sheet to when a trailing end of the sheet passes the conveyance sensor.

A medium processing apparatus includes a liquid applier, a medium processing device, and circuitry. The liquid applier includes a liquid application member, a pressing member, and a detector. The liquid application member contacts a medium and apply liquid to the medium to perform liquid application. The pressing member moves the liquid application member, and press the liquid application member against the medium. The detector detects an amount of the liquid applied to the medium subjected to the liquid application. The medium processing device performs a predetermined process on a bundle of media subjected to the liquid application. The circuitry is to control the liquid applier and the medium processing device to set an amount of movement of the liquid application member and a contact time of the liquid application member to the medium, to set a control mode, and change the control mode according to the liquid amount.

A medium processing apparatus includes a liquid applier, a medium pressing unit, a detector, and circuitry. The liquid applier includes a liquid application member to contact a part of a medium and apply liquid to the part of the medium. The medium pressing unit presses the medium to which the liquid is applied, and moves the liquid application member relative to the medium. The detector detects a relative position between the medium pressing unit and the liquid application member. The circuitry is to determine a movement amount of the liquid application member relative to the medium based on the relative position detected by the detector, and move the liquid application member relative to the medium based on the movement amount.

A apparatus for processing sheets includes: a conveyance unit conveying a sheet; a processing unit provided with processing members processing the sheet along a conveyance direction, and a moving unit moving the processing members in a width direction; and a controller. When a processing position in the width direction to be processed by the processing members is different between a sheet conveyed ahead by the conveyance unit and a subsequent sheet, the controller processes the subsequent sheet by using a processing member having a minimum movement distance from the processing position of the sheet conveyed ahead among the processing members.
