An image forming apparatus includes a reverse roller pair configured to reverse a conveyance direction of a recording medium between a first direction and a second direction, a first conveyance roller pair configured to convey the recording medium in the first direction, and a second conveyance roller pair configured to convey the recording medium in the second direction. A first distance is between the first conveyance roller pair and a reversal position in which a trailing edge of the recording medium is located when the conveyance direction is reversed. A second distance is between the reversal position and the second conveyance roller pair. An absolute value of a difference between the first distance and the second distance is an integer multiple of a circumferential length of a drive roller of the reverse roller pair or within a predetermined range from the integer multiple.

A tension applying device is attached to a sheet conveyance device. The sheet conveyance device includes a feeding roller for feeding a continuous-form sheet and a winding roller for winding the continuous-form sheet fed from the feeding roller. The tension applying device applies tension to the continuous-form sheet between the feeding roller and the winding roller. The tension applying device includes a guide rail, a slider, a tension bar, and an angle adjustment mechanism. The guide rail is inclined downward toward a continuous-form sheet. The slider slides along the guide rail. The tension bar is supported by the slider and brought into pressure contact with the continuous-form sheet by weight of the slider. The angle adjustment mechanism adjusts an inclination angle of the guide rail with respect to a horizontal direction.

There is provided a printing apparatus including: a holder configured to accommodate a printing medium; a conveyor configured to convey the printing medium along a conveying direction; a printer; a cutter configured to cut the printing medium; a first detector configured to detect front and rear ends of the printing medium; and a controller. A distance in the conveying direction between the first detector and the cutter is shorter than a length of one of media generated by dividing the printing medium into n-pieces of media. The controller is configured to: calculate a length in the conveying direction of the printing medium by using a result of the detecting of the front and rear ends, and set a cutting position of the printing medium; and cause the cutter to cut the printing medium at the set cutting position.

A foil transfer device includes a foil transfer film cartridge, a housing, a display, a detector, and a controller. The foil transfer film cartridge includes a supply reel on which a foil film is wound. The housing allows the foil transfer film cartridge to be removably installed therein. The display is provided on the housing to display information. The detector detects foil film information in a state where the foil transfer film cartridge is installed in the housing. The foil film information includes at least one item selected from a group comprising a color of the foil, a width of the foil film, and a widthwise position of the foil film in a direction of the width of the foil film. The controller causes the foil film information detected by the detector to be shown on the display.

There are a paper storage that stores paper on which an image is formed, a paper guide that is movably provided in the paper storage and restricts a position of the stored paper, a paper size acquirer that acquires a size of the paper stored in the paper storage, a size change determiner that determines, by using the acquired size of the paper, whether the paper stored in the paper storage was changed, a confirmation information selector that, when it is determined that the paper stored in the paper storage was changed, selects confirmation information requesting confirmation of a position of the paper guide in the paper storage in accordance with a difference in size between paper before and after the change, and a confirmation information notifier that notifies the selected confirmation information.

A post-processing apparatus includes a first conveyor, a second conveyor, a third conveyor, and a conveyance passage corrector. The first conveyor conveys a sheet conveyed along a first conveyance passage downstream from the first conveyor. The second conveyor conveys the sheet along a second conveyance passage. The third conveyor conveys the sheet along a third conveyance passage. The conveyance passage corrector includes a retracting mechanism to retract from a joining position at which the third conveyance passage joins to the first conveyance passage and turns a conveyance direction of the sheet toward the first conveyor when the sheet enters from the third conveyance passage to the first conveyance passage.

An adjustable leveling assembly for engaging a stack of a plurality of sheets in a feeder tray of a printing device, including a first wedging element slidably arranged on the feeder tray and operatively arranged to engage the stack, wherein when the first wedging element is disengaged with the stack, a top sheet of the plurality of sheets is non-parallel to the feeder tray, and when the first wedging element is engaged with the stack, the top sheet is substantially parallel to the feeder tray.

An image forming apparatus includes a first casing including a transfer unit, a second casing including a fixing unit, and a third casing provided between the first casing and the second casing and including an intermediary feeding member. The first casing includes a first discharging port discharging a recording material with a toner image. The second casing includes a first receiving port receiving the recording material with the toner image. A height from an installing surface of the image forming apparatus to the first receiving port in a vertical direction is different from a height from the installing surface to the first discharging port. The intermediary feeding member of the third casing is provided obliquely in the vertical direction from a second receiving port receiving the recording material from the first discharging port to a second discharging port delivering the recording material to the first receiving port.

According to an example, a method to wind media in an output roller downstream a media advance engine comprises advancing a medium for a determined medium length, collecting a first portion of the determined medium length at a first speed by rotating the output roller in a winding direction, and collecting a second portion of the determined medium length by rotating the output roller in a winding direction at a second speed, wherein the first speed is greater than the second speed.

Provided is a transport device including a feeding unit on which a roll-type medium is set and which feeds the medium by rotating the medium, and an endless transport belt that transports the medium in a transport direction by supporting the medium fed out from the feeding unit and rotating. When seen from a support direction in which the transport belt supports the medium, the feeding unit is configured to change the posture thereof so as to incline a rotating shaft of the medium with respect to a width direction that is a direction intersecting the transport direction.
