Media conveying apparatus, media conveying method, and non-transitory recording medium

A media conveying method, comprising:

• feeding media by a feed roller;
• driving a first conveyance roller and a second conveyance roller simultaneously by a motor, wherein the first conveyance roller is located downstream from the feed roller in a media conveyance direction and conveys the media in the media conveyance direction by rotating in a forward direction, and the second conveyance roller is located downstream from the first conveyance roller in the media conveyance direction and conveys the media in the media conveyance direction by rotating in the forward direction;
• determining whether a trailing end of each medium of the media has passed the second conveyance roller;
• and
• executing alignment of a leading end of the each medium at a position of the first conveyance roller,
• wherein the executing includes stopping the first conveyance roller or rotating the first conveyance roller in a reverse direction and controlling the feed roller to align a leading end of a first medium among the media in a case where the determining determines that a trailing end of a second medium among the media preceding the first medium has passed the second conveyance roller when the leading end of the first medium is detected by a sensor located upstream from the first conveyance roller in the media conveyance direction.

A non-transitory recording medium storing a plurality of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform a method for controlling a media conveying apparatus including a feed roller, a first conveyance roller located downstream from the feed roller in a media conveyance direction, a second conveyance roller located downstream from the first conveyance roller in the media conveyance direction, and a sensor, the method comprising:

• determining whether a trailing end of each medium of media has passed the second conveyance roller;
• and
• executing alignment of a leading end of the each medium at a position of the first conveyance roller,
• wherein the executing includes stopping the first conveyance roller or rotating the first conveyance roller in a reverse direction and controlling the feed roller to align a leading end of a first medium among the media in a case where the determining determines that a trailing end of a second medium among the media preceding the first medium has passed the second conveyance roller when the leading end of the first medium is detected by the sensor.
