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.

Provided is a method of manufacturing a glass roll (GR), including: a conveying step of conveying a band-shaped glass film (G2) in a lateral conveying direction by a conveying device (4); and a roll-up step of rolling up the glass film (G2) into a roll shape. The conveying step includes an inspection step of measuring a state of each of end portions (Gd, Ge) in a width direction of the glass film (G2) by a detection unit (19a, 19b) under a state in which a tension is applied to the glass film (G2) that passes through an intermediate conveying region (MS) of the conveying device (4) by a tension applying portion.

A motor driver drives a motor that controls a position of an object based on a command from a controller. The motor driver includes: a correction command output part that outputs a correction command for correcting a position of the motor based on a position of the object detected by a displacement sensor that detects the position of the object; and a position controller that outputs a drive signal for driving the motor based on the command from the controller and the position of the motor detected by an encoder that detects the position of the motor, or based on the correction command and the position of the motor detected by the encoder.

A document managing method for a printing device is provided. The document managing method includes the following steps. Firstly, a printing mechanism prints a document with plural papers, and transfers the plural papers to a paper collection platform. Then, a management module manages the plural papers from two lateral sides of the plural papers. Then, a paper ejection module ejects a first portion of the plural papers at a first speed, and then ejects a second portion of the plural papers at a second speed. Consequently, the plural papers are exited from the paper collection platform. Then, the management module is separated from the two lateral sides of the plural papers, so that the plural papers fall down to a supporting tray. The first speed is faster than the second speed.

A paper jam indication detection device is a paper jam indication detection device that detects an indication that a paper jam will occur in a paper feed device, the paper jam indication detection device including: a sound collector that collects a friction sound produced by friction between a plurality of sheets of paper when the paper is fed from a holder holding the plurality of sheets of the paper; an indication detector that detects an indication that a paper jam will occur in the paper feed device based on a decrease in the friction sound collected by the sound collector; and a signal outputter that, when the indication is detected by the indication detector, outputs, to the paper feed device, a signal for stopping the paper from being fed from the holder.

A roll-shaped medium transport device includes: a medium supply unit that keeps a roll body formed by winding a roll-shaped medium on a support shaft, and unwinds and supplies the roll-shaped medium; a transport unit that transports the roll-shaped medium unwound from the roll body; a rotation detecting unit that detects rotation of the support shaft; a rotation unit that rotates the support shaft; and a determination unit that determines abnormality of a transport state of the roll-shaped medium on the basis of the rotation detecting unit when the rotation unit rotates the support shaft, when the rotation detecting unit does not detect the rotation of the support shaft in a state where a transport operation of the roll-shaped medium is performed by the transport unit.

An object of the present invention is to ensure rigid formation of the folds of the protrusions of the paper sheet and smooth conveyance of the folding-processed paper sheet to the downstream side of the folding position in the paper conveyance direction without causing the problems such as jamming. A folding unit includes a lower guide plate arranged at a position facing a folding plate at the folding position, and an arrangement position of a turning shaft of the folding plate is vertically movable with respect to the lower guide plate.

The present invention provides a label printer, including an upper cover module and a bottom case module configured to cooperate with the upper cover module in printing. An elastic wall is disposed at an articulating part between the upper cover module and the bottom case module. An inclined surface is provided at a corresponding position of the lower cover module. When the upper cover is opened upward to the maximum extent, a tail end of the elastic wall cooperates with the inclined surface to form a support structure to prevent the upper cover module from falling due to the gravity and the like when the upper cover module is opened.
