Abstract
A medium processing apparatus which corrects the tilt of a medium is provided. The medium processing apparatus according to one embodiment of the present disclosure includes a conveyer configured to convey a medium along a conveying path, and a shutter located along the conveying path to block the conveyance of the medium. The medium processing apparatus further includes a detector configured to detect a tilt of the medium with respect to the shutter, and a shutter controller configured to control the shutter to unblock the conveyance of the medium when the detector determines that the tilt of the medium is corrected.
Claims20
A medium processing apparatus comprising:
- a conveyer configured to convey a medium along a conveying path;
- a shutter located along the conveying path to block the conveyance of the medium;
- a detector configured to detect a tilt of the medium with respect to the shutter;
- and
- a shutter controller configured to control the shutter to unblock the conveyance of the medium when the detector determines that the tilt of the medium is corrected.
A medium processing apparatus, comprising:
- a conveyer configured to convey a medium along a conveying path;
- a shutter located along the conveying path to block the advance of the medium;
- a detector configured to detect whether one side of the medium is substantially parallel to the shutter;
- a control unit configured to detect a tilt of the medium with respect to the shutter based on the state of the medium detected by the detector and configured to configured to control the conveyer to perform the conveyance of the medium when the tilt of the medium is detected by the detector;
- and
- a shutter controller configured to control the shutter to unblock the advance of the medium when one side of the medium is determined to be adjusted in substantially parallel to the shutter.
A medium processing method for driving a medium processing apparatus comprising
- a conveyer configured to convey a medium, and a shutter configured to block the advance of the medium, the method comprising;
- detecting through a detector an insertion of the medium to the medium processing apparatus;
- performing through the conveyer a loading feed of the medium by conveying the medium a predetermined distance;
- detecting through the detector a tilt of the medium with respect to the shutter by determining whether one side of the medium is substantially parallel to the shutter;
- retrying the loading feed of the medium when the tilt of the medium is detected by the detector;
- and
- opening the shutter to unblock the advance of the medium when one side of the medium is determined to be arranged substantially parallel to the shutter.
