Abstract
A recording material transport device includes a transport unit that transports a recording material to a succeeding apparatus that follows the recording material transport device; and a notification unit that, in a case where transport of the recording material by the transport unit has been stopped, gives a notification prompting a user to take an action for reducing occurrence of a trouble resulting from a state where the recording material that has been stopped has already reached the succeeding apparatus.
Claims15
A recording material transport device comprising:
- a transport unit that transports a recording material to a succeeding apparatus that follows the recording material transport device;
- a sensor configured to detect a presence of the recording material at a predetermined position;
- and
- a processor programmed to:
- detect that a jam has occurred, based on output from the sensor, and
- control transport of the recording material by the transport unit to be stopped due to the jam, and generate a notification with specific instructions that prompts a user to take a physical action for manipulating the recording material transport device and reducing occurrence of a trouble resulting from a state where the recording material that has been stopped has already reached the succeeding apparatus, and
- the notification prompts the user to cut the recording material that has been stopped and has already reached the succeeding apparatus, or prompts the user to check a connection part in which the recording material transport device and the succeeding apparatus are connected.

A recording material transport device comprising:
- transport means for transporting a recording material to a succeeding apparatus that follows the recording material transport device;
- sensor means for detecting a presence of the recording material at a predetermined position;
- detecting means for detecting that a jam has occurred, based on output from the sensor means;
- and
- notification means for, in a case where transport of the recording material by the transport means has been stopped, generating a notification with specific instructions that prompts a user to take a physical action for manipulating the recording material transport device and for reducing occurrence of a trouble resulting from a state where the recording material that has been stopped has already reached the succeeding apparatus, and
- the notification prompts the user to cut the recording material that has been stopped and has already reached the succeeding apparatus, or prompts the user to check a connection part in which the recording material transport device and the succeeding apparatus are connected.
