Relay transport device, feeding system, recording system, and position adjustment method

A position adjustment method for adjusting a position of a relay transport device with respect to a recording device of a recording system, the recording system including

• the recording device for recording on a medium,
• a feeding device disposed outside the recording device and configured to feed the medium to the recording device, and
• the relay transport device, which is positioned between the recording device and the feeding device and is configured to relay and transport the medium fed from the feeding device to the recording device, wherein
• the relay transport device includes
• a relay unit that is a unit that forms a transport path for transporting the medium and that includes a medium discharge section configured to discharge the medium toward a receiving section of the recording device and
• a coupling section that couples the relay unit and a support base supporting the relay unit,
• the coupling section couples the relay unit and the support base such that a position of the relay unit with respect to the support base is adjustable,
• a position of the medium discharge section with respect to the receiving section is adjusted by adjusting a position of the relay unit with respect to the support base,
• the coupling section allows pivoting of the relay unit along a support surface by which the support base supports the relay unit,
• the relay unit includes a skew correction section that corrects skew of the medium,
• the skew correction section includes
• a restriction section configured to position one edge in a width direction of the medium fed from the feeding device, the width direction being a direction intersecting a transport direction of the medium in the relay unit and
• a transport section that transports the medium toward the restriction section in an intersecting direction that intersects the transport direction and the width direction, and
• the recording device includes a skew correction roller pair that corrects skew of the medium,
• the position adjustment method comprising:
• a step of bringing a downstream edge of a correction sheet into contact with a nip position of the skew correction roller pair, the correction sheet having a lateral edge and the downstream edge, the lateral edge being along the transport direction, and the downstream edge being downstream in the transport direction and orthogonal to the lateral edge and
• a step of pivoting the relay unit with respect to the support base such that the lateral edge of the correction sheet contacts along the restriction section.
