A sheet conveyance apparatus includes a conveyance roller, an abutment member including an abutment surface against which a side edge, in a width direction, of the sheet abuts, and configured to correct a skew of the sheet, an obliquely conveying roller configured to convey the sheet such as the side edge of the sheet is conveyed toward the abutment surface, a sheet side edge detection portion configured to detect a position of the side edge of the sheet, and a control unit configured to control that a conveyance force, in the width direction, by the obliquely conveying roller in response to a detection result of the sheet side edge detection portion becomes smaller than that in an abutment movement.

A sheet conveying device includes a corrector configured to correct a position of a sheet, and at least three detectors disposed in a sheet conveyance direction. Each of the at least three detectors is configured to detect a lateral end of the sheet according to a length of the sheet to be conveyed in the sheet conveyance direction. The corrector is configured to correct the position of the sheet based on detection results of each of the at least three detectors.

The medium transporting device is arranged so as to face the feeder for feeding the medium in the transporting direction and the surface of the medium transported in the transporting direction, and detects the motion of the medium in the two-dimensional coordinate system including the first axis and the second axis. The two-dimensional sensor is provided in a state in which the first axis and the second axis are inclined with respect to the transporting direction.

A printing device is provided comprising a camera to capture an image of at least a portion of a print substrate; a controller to determine a location of a portion of a side edge of the print substrate from the image to determine a distance of the print substrate from a predetermined location; and an adjustment apparatus to adjust the entire substrate laterally, relative to the direction of transport of the print substrate, based on the determined location.

A sheet feeding device includes a first feeding roller pair, a reference member, an obliquely feeding roller, a second feeding roller pair, a detecting portion, and a controller. Before a sheet is obliquely fed by the obliquely feeding roller, the controller causes the first feeding roller to move the sheet to a predetermined position in a widthwise direction of the sheet on the basis of a detection result of the detecting means.

A sensing apparatus can be configured to detect an edge of a paper that is received by an automated transaction machine (ATM). The paper can move along a path located inside the ATM, the path having opposite first and second sides. The sensing apparatus can include a light emitter and a light detector on the first side of the path, with the light emitter positioned so that it can emit light across the path to the second side. The light detector can be configured to detect light from the light emitter and can emit a signal corresponding to an amount of detected light. The sensing apparatus can also include a control circuit that can control a flow of power to the light emitter, and the control circuit can also receive the signal emitted by the sensor.
