Abstract
A supply device configured to supply a medium to a processing unit configured to perform processing on the medium, the supply device including an accommodating unit configured to accommodate a plurality of the media in a state of being stacked therein and a vibration imparting unit configured to contact ends of the plurality of media accommodated in the accommodating unit to impart vibration to the medium.
Claims18
A supply device configured to supply a medium to a processing unit configured to perform processing on the medium, the supply device comprising:
- an accommodating unit configured to accommodate a plurality of media including the medium in a state of being stacked therein;
- an alignment unit configured to contact the plurality of media accommodated in the accommodating unit to align the plurality of media, wherein the alignment unit is configured to move to contact the plurality of media;
- and
- a vibration imparting unit configured to move together with the alignment unit and to contact ends of the plurality of media accommodated in the accommodating unit to impart vibration to the medium.
A control method for a supply device including:
- an accommodating unit configured to accommodate a plurality of media including a medium in a state of being stacked therein;
- an alignment unit configured to contact the plurality of media accommodated in the accommodating unit to align the plurality of media, wherein the alignment unit is configured to move to contact the plurality of media;
- and
- a vibration imparting unit configured to move together with the alignment unit and to contact ends of the plurality of media accommodated in the accommodating unit to impart vibration to the medium, and the supply device being configured to supply the medium to a processing unit, wherein
- the method comprises imparting vibration to the medium by the vibration imparting unit when the medium is accommodated in the accommodating unit.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a control unit to execute control of a supply device including:
- an accommodating unit configured to accommodate a plurality of media including a medium in a state of being stacked therein;
- an alignment unit configured to contact the plurality of media accommodated in the accommodating unit to align the plurality of media, wherein the alignment unit is configured to move to contact the plurality of media;
- and
- a vibration imparting unit configured to move together with the alignment unit and to contact ends of the plurality of media accommodated in the accommodating unit to impart vibration to the medium, and the supply device being configured to supply the medium to a processing unit, wherein
- the program causes the vibration imparting unit to impart vibration to the medium when the medium is accommodated in the accommodating unit.
