Abstract
A sheet transporting device includes: a skew correcting component configured to correct any skew of a sheet by executing speed-gap driving in which first and second transporting components that are arranged at respective positions in a direction intersecting a direction of sheet transport are driven for a predetermined time period with a speed gap between the first and second transporting components; and a changing component configured to change, with reference to a characteristic relevant to sheet transport, a state of the speed-gap driving of the skew correcting component.
Claims17
A sheet transporting device comprising:
- a skew correcting component configured to correct any skew of a sheet by executing speed-gap driving in which first and second transporting components that are arranged at respective positions in a direction intersecting a direction of sheet transport are driven for a predetermined time period with a speed gap between the first and second transporting components;
- and a changing component configured to change, with reference to a characteristic relevant to sheet transport, a state of the speed-gap driving of the skew correcting component,
- wherein the characteristic relevant to sheet transport to be referred to by the changing component in changing the state of the speed-gap driving includes at least one of a length of the sheet in the direction of sheet transport, a basis weight of the sheet, and a material of the sheet.
A sheet transporting device comprising:
- skew correcting means for correcting any skew of a sheet by executing speed-gap driving in which first and second transporting means that are arranged at respective positions in a direction intersecting a direction of sheet transport are driven for a predetermined time period with a speed gap between the first and second transporting means;
- and
- changing means for changing, with reference to a characteristic relevant to sheet transport, a state of the speed-gap driving of the skew correcting means,
- wherein the characteristic relevant to sheet transport to be referred to by the changing means in changing the state of the speed-gap driving includes at least one of a length of the sheet in the direction of sheet transport, a basis weight of the sheet, and a material of the sheet.
