Abstract
An image forming system includes: a transfer unit that transfers an image onto an object; a transporter that transports the object in the horizontal direction; a raising/lowering unit that raises and lowers the object in the vertical direction; and a processor configured to: after height adjustment performed by the raising/lowering unit, if the object has a top whose height is greater than a predetermined height when the object is to be transported to the transfer unit, stop the transport of the object to the transfer unit.
Claims3
An image forming system comprising:
- an ink head that transfers an image onto an object;
- a transporter that transports the object in a horizontal direction;
- a raising/lowering leg that raises and lowers the object in a vertical direction;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- after height adjustment performed by the raising/lowering leg, if the object has a top whose height is greater than a predetermined height when the object is to be transported to the ink head, stop the transport of the object to the ink head,
- when the height of the top of the object having been adjusted by the raising/lowering leg to a transport height for transfer is detected and the detected height is greater than the predetermined height, instruct the raising/lowering leg to perform a readjustment, and
- when the state in which the detected height is greater than the predetermined height is not resolved after the readjustment, transport the object to a take-out position in a state in which the top of the object is lower than a lowermost portion of the ink head.
An image forming system comprising:
- transfer means for transferring an image onto an object;
- transport means for transporting the object in a horizontal direction;
- raising/lowering means for raising and lowering the object in a vertical direction;
- stopping means for, after height adjustment performed by the raising/lowering means, if the object has a top whose height is greater than a predetermined height when the object is to be transported to the transfer means, stopping the transport of the object to the transfer means;
- and
- controlling means for, when the height of the top of the object having been adjusted by the raising/lowering means to a transport height for transfer is detected and the detected height is greater than the predetermined height, instructing the raising/lowering means to perform a readjustment, and when the state in which the detected height is greater than the predetermined height is not resolved after the readjustment, instructing the transport means to transport the object to a take-out position in a state in which the top of the object is lower than a lowermost portion of the transfer means.
