Abstract
A pair of registration rollers align a leading edge of a recording medium having a transparent section and a non-transparent section. A boundary sensor detects a boundary between the transparent section and the non-transparent section. The boundary sensor is provided on a downstream side of a direction of conveying the recording medium by the registration rollers.
Claims20
A sheet feeding device comprising:
- a pair of registration rollers that align a leading edge of a recording medium having a transparent section and a non-transparent section;
- and
- a boundary sensor that detects a boundary between the transparent section and the non-transparent section, wherein
- the boundary sensor is provided on a downstream side of a direction of conveying the recording medium by the registration rollers.
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a sheet feeding device that includes
- a pair of registration rollers that align a leading edge of a recording medium having a transparent section and a non-transparent section, and
- a boundary sensor that detects a boundary between the transparent section and the non-transparent section;
- and
- an image forming unit that forms an image on the recording medium, wherein
- the boundary sensor is provided on a downstream side of a direction of conveying the recording medium by the registration rollers, and
- the recording medium is configured to be folded along the boundary between the transparent section and the non-transparent section to superimpose the transparent section on the non-transparent section.
An image recording medium comprising:
- a recording medium that is a sheet-like medium, on which an image is formed by an image forming apparatus, the recording medium including a transparent section;
- an overlapping medium configured to overlap the transparent section;
- and
- an adhesive layer on which an adhesive is applied, wherein
- the overlapping medium is integrated with an image formation surface of the transparent section via the adhesive layer.
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a conveyance path for conveying an image recording medium that includes
- a recording medium that is a sheet-like medium, on which an image is formed by an image forming apparatus, the recording medium including a transparent section,
- an overlapping medium configured to overlap the transparent section, and
- an adhesive layer on which an adhesive is applied;
- an image forming unit that forms an image on the image recording medium;
- and
- a control unit that reverses the image horizontally or vertically when forming the image in the transparent section, wherein
- the overlapping medium is integrated with an image formation surface of the transparent section via the adhesive layer.
An image forming apparatus that forms an image on an image recording medium, wherein
- the image recording medium includes
- a recording medium that is a sheet-like medium, on which an image is formed by an image forming apparatus, the recording medium including a transparent section,
- an overlapping medium configured to overlap the transparent section, and
- an adhesive layer on which an adhesive is applied, and
- the overlapping medium is integrated with an image formation surface of the transparent section via the adhesive layer.
