Abstract
A sheet-type medium transporter comprises separation rollers to separate a sheet-type medium from sheet-type media picked up from a load tray in which the sheet-type media are loaded to be transported out of the load tray in a transporting direction; and an air blower coupled to at least one separation roller of the separation rollers to be driven by the at least one separation roller, to supply air in a direction substantially opposite to the transporting direction of the load tray and toward the sheet-type media, to lift the sheet-type medium from the sheet-type media, which is to be separated by the separation rollers.
Claims20
A sheet-type medium transporter comprising:
- separation rollers to separate a sheet-type medium from sheet-type media picked up from a load tray in which the sheet-type media are loaded to be transported out of the load tray in a transporting direction;
- and
- a blowing unit coupled to at least one separation roller of the separation rollers to be driven by the at least one separation roller, to supply air in a direction substantially opposite to the transporting direction of the load tray and toward the sheet-type media, to lift the sheet-type medium from the sheet-type media, which is to be separated by the separation rollers.
A sheet-type medium processing apparatus comprising:
- a load tray in which sheet-type media are loadable;
- a sheet-type medium transporter including:
- separation rollers to separate a sheet-type medium from the sheet-type media picked up from the load tray in which the sheet-type media are loaded to be transported out of the load tray in a transporting direction;
- and
- a blowing unit coupled to at least one separation roller of the separation rollers to be driven by the at least one separation roller, to supply air in a direction substantially opposite to the transporting direction of the load tray and toward the sheet-type media, to lift the sheet-type medium from the sheet-type media, which is to be separated by the separation rollers;
- and
- a sheet-type medium processor to process the sheet-type medium separated by the separation rollers.
