Abstract
A paper feed device having regulation plates that are movable on a paper feed tray for loading paper and regulate edges of the paper, includes: a driver that moves the regulation plates; and a hardware processor that acquires paper information corresponding to a characteristic of the loaded paper, and causes the driver to move the regulation plates according to the acquired paper information.
Claims19
A paper feed device having regulation plates that are movable on a paper feed tray for loading paper and regulate edges of the paper, the paper feed device comprising:
- a driver that moves the regulation plates to be in contact with edge surfaces of a loaded paper;
- and
- a hardware processor that acquires paper information corresponding to a characteristic of the loaded paper detected by a paper information detector, and causes the driver to move the regulation plates to positions in contact with the edge surfaces of the loaded paper based on the acquired paper information detected by the paper information detector so as to align edges of the loaded paper in an appropriate position,
- wherein the paper information includes moisture content, and
- the hardware processor sets an interval between the regulation plates of a case where the moisture content is equal to or more than a predetermined value wider than an interval between the regulation plates of a case where the moisture content is less than the predetermined value.
A paper feed device having regulation plates that are movable on a paper feed tray for loading paper and regulate edges of the paper, the paper feed device comprising:
- a driver that moves the regulation plates to be in contact with edge surfaces of a loaded paper;
- and
- a hardware processor that acquires paper information corresponding to a characteristic of the loaded paper detected by a paper information detector, and causes the driver to move the regulation plates to positions in contact with the edge surfaces of the loaded paper based on the acquired paper information detected by the paper information detector so as to align edges of the loaded paper in an appropriate position,
- wherein the paper information includes smoothness of edge surfaces the paper, and
- the hardware processor sets an interval between the regulation plates of a case where the smoothness is less than a predetermined value wider than an interval between the regulation plates of a case where the smoothness is equal to or more than the predetermined value.
A non-transitory recording medium storing a computer readable control program for a paper feed device having regulation plates that are movable on a paper feed tray for loading paper and regulate edges of the paper, and a driver that moves the regulation plates to be in contact with edge surfaces of a loaded paper, the non-transitory recording medium storing a computer readable control program causing a computer to perform:
- acquiring paper information corresponding to a characteristic of the loaded paper detected by a paper information detector, wherein the paper information includes moisture content;
- causing the driver to move the regulation plates to be in contact with edge surfaces of the loaded paper and to move to positions based on the acquired paper information detected by the paper information detector so as to align edges of the loaded paper in an appropriate position, and
- setting an interval between the regulation plates of a case where the moisture content is equal to or more than a predetermined value wider than an interval between the regulation plates of a case where the moisture content is less than the predetermined value.
