Conveying apparatus, controller, control method, and medium storing program for conveying apparatus

A control method for controlling a conveying apparatus, the conveying apparatus including:

• a conveyor configured to convey a sheet medium unwound from a roll body in a conveyance direction, the conveyor having a first roller and a second roller configured to nip the sheet medium at a nipping point;
• a pressing mechanism configured to be moved to a pressing position at which the first roller and the second roller are pressed against each other and a release position at which the first roller and the second roller are released from being pressed against each other;
• and a detector configured to detect the sheet medium located downstream of the nipping point in the conveyance direction, the control method comprising:
• a first determining process of determining whether the sheet medium is detected by the detector;
• a pressing process of moving the pressing mechanism from the release position to the pressing position in a case where a determination is made that the sheet medium is detected in the first determining process;
• and
• a conveying process of causing the conveyor to convey the sheet medium by rotating the first roller and the second roller after the pressing process.

A non-transitory medium storing a program for a conveying apparatus, the conveying apparatus including:

• a conveyor configured to convey a sheet medium unwound from a roll body in a conveyance direction, the conveyor having a first roller and a second roller configured to nip the sheet medium at a nipping point;
• a pressing mechanism configured to be moved to a pressing position at which the first roller and the second roller are pressed against each other and a release position at which the first roller and the second roller are released from being pressed against each other;
• and a detector configured to detect the sheet medium located downstream of the nipping point in the conveyance direction, the program causing the conveying apparatus to execute:
• a first determining process of determining whether the sheet medium is detected by the detector;
• a pressing process of moving the pressing mechanism from the release position to the pressing position in a case where a determination is made that the sheet medium is detected in the first determining process;
• and
• a conveying process of causing the conveyor to convey the sheet medium by rotating the first roller and the second roller after the pressing process.
