Abstract
A medium conveying apparatus includes a feed roller to feed a medium, a conveyance roller pair located downstream from the feed roller in a medium conveying direction, a sensor located downstream from the conveyance roller pair in the medium conveying direction, and circuitry to start feeding a next medium when the medium is conveyed by a predetermined amount after a leading end of the medium passes the sensor.
Claims8
A medium conveying apparatus, comprising:
- a feed roller to feed a medium;
- a conveyance roller pair located downstream from the feed roller in a medium conveying direction;
- a sensor located downstream from the conveyance roller pair in the medium conveying direction;
- and
- circuitry configured to start feeding a next medium when the medium is conveyed by a predetermined amount after a leading end of the medium passes the sensor, wherein
- the circuitry starts feeding the next medium when a trailing end of the medium passes the sensor before the medium is conveyed by the predetermined amount after the leading end of the medium passes the sensor.
A medium conveying method, comprising:
- feeding a medium with a feed roller;
- and
- starting to feed a next medium when the medium is conveyed by a predetermined amount after a leading end of the medium passes a sensor located downstream from a conveyance roller pair in a medium conveying direction, wherein the conveyance roller pair is located downstream from the feed roller in the medium conveying direction, wherein
- feeding the next medium is started when a trailing end of the medium passes the sensor before the medium is conveyed by the predetermined amount after the leading end of the medium passes the sensor.
A computer-readable, non-transitory medium storing a computer program, wherein the computer program causes a medium conveying apparatus including a feed roller to feed a medium, a conveyance roller pair located downstream from the feed roller in a medium conveying direction, and a sensor located downstream from the conveyance roller pair in the medium conveying direction, to execute a process, the process comprising
- starting to feed a next medium when the medium is conveyed by a predetermined amount after a leading end of the medium passes a sensor, wherein
- feeding the next medium is started when a trailing end of the medium passes the sensor before the medium is conveyed by the predetermined amount after the leading end of the medium passes the sensor.
