US 12,304,764 B2 · Medium transport device, control method, and control program

Abstract

Provided are a medium conveying apparatus, a control method, and a control program is to enable further reduction in the time required for conveying the medium while suppressing the occurrence of the conveyance abnormality of the medium. A medium conveying apparatus includes a conveying mechanism to convey a medium, a determination module to determine whether a conveyance abnormality of the medium has occurred, and a control module to control the conveying mechanism so as to increase a conveyance speed of the medium to be conveyed thereafter, or reduce a conveyance interval of the medium to be conveyed thereafter if the conveyance abnormality of the medium has not occurred when a predetermined number of medium is conveyed.

Claims15

Dependent claims

A medium conveying apparatus comprising:

a conveying mechanism to convey a medium;
and
a processor to
determine whether a conveyance abnormality of the medium has occurred, and
control the conveying mechanism to increase a conveyance speed of the medium to be conveyed thereafter or reduce a conveyance interval of the medium to be conveyed thereafter, and set the conveyance speed in a state where a size of the medium is a first size to a higher speed than the conveyance speed in a state where the size of the medium is a second size larger than the first size or set the conveyance interval in a state where the size of the medium is the first size to a time shorter than the conveyance interval in a state where the size of the medium is the second size, when the conveyance abnormality of the medium has not occurred for a predetermined plurality of medium that are consecutively conveyed.

2 more elements

A method for conveying a medium, the method comprising:

conveying the medium, by a conveying mechanism;
determining whether a conveyance abnormality of the medium has occurred;
and
controlling the conveying mechanism to increase a conveyance speed of the medium to be conveyed thereafter or reduce a conveyance interval of the medium to be conveyed thereafter, and set the conveyance speed in a state where a size of the medium is a first size to a higher speed than the conveyance speed in a state where the size of the medium is a second size larger than the first size or set the conveyance interval in a state where the size of the medium is the first size to a time shorter than the conveyance interval in a state where the size of the medium is the second size, when the conveyance abnormality of the medium has not occurred for a predetermined plurality media that are consecutively conveyed.

1 more element

A computer-readable, non-transitory medium storing a computer program, wherein the computer program causes a medium conveying apparatus including a conveying mechanism to convey a medium, to execute a process, the process comprising:

determining whether a conveyance abnormality of the medium has occurred;
and
controlling the conveying mechanism to increase a conveyance speed of the medium to be conveyed thereafter or reduce a conveyance interval of the medium to be conveyed thereafter, and set the conveyance speed in a state where a size of the medium is a first size to a higher speed than the conveyance speed in a state where the size of the medium is a second size larger than the first size or set the conveyance interval in a state where the size of the medium is the first size to a time shorter than the conveyance interval in a state where the size of the medium is the second size, when the conveyance abnormality of the medium has not occurred for a predetermined plurality media that are consecutively conveyed.
