Abstract
A reading apparatus includes a reading device and circuitry. The reading device reads a recording medium in a direction intersecting a conveyance direction of the recording medium. The circuitry detects a reference image for cutting processing of the recording medium, based on read information read by the reading device.
Claims20
A reading apparatus, comprising:
- a reading device configured to generate read information indicating detection of a reference image formed on a recording medium by reading the recording medium in a first direction, the first direction intersecting a second direction and the second direction being a conveyance direction of the recording medium;
- a sensor configured to detect the reference image at a time after the reading device generates the read information;
- and
- circuitry configured to
- determine a corrected position of the reference image for cutting processing of the recording medium, based on the read information, and a detection result of the sensor.

A processing apparatus, comprising:
- a reading device configured to generate read information indicating detection of a reference image formed on a recording medium by reading the recording medium in a first direction, the first direction intersecting a second direction and the second direction being a conveyance direction of the recording medium;
- a sensor configured to detect the reference image at a time after the reading device generates the read information;
- and
- circuitry configured to determine a corrected position of the reference image based on the read information and a detection result of the sensor;
- and
- a processing device configured to process the recording medium at the corrected position.
3 more elements
An image forming system, comprising:
- an image forming apparatus configured to form an image on a recording medium;
- a reading apparatus at a downstream side of the image forming apparatus in a first direction, the first direction being a conveyance direction of the recording medium, the reading apparatus including:
- a reading device configured to generate read information indicating detection of a reference image by reading the recording medium in a second direction intersecting the first direction;
- a processing apparatus at a downstream side of the reading apparatus in the first direction, the processing apparatus including:
- a sensor configured to detect the reference image at a time after the reading device generates the read information;
- and
- a processing device configured to process the recording medium at a corrected position;
- and
- circuitry configured to determine the corrected position based on the read information and a detection result of the sensor.
