Abstract
A transport device includes a transport unit that transports a paper sheet, a cutter unit that cuts the paper sheet, and a controller that, when transport of the paper sheet in the vicinity of the cutter unit is to be halted, controls the transport unit so that the transport unit transports the paper sheet by a longer travel when a specified length of the paper sheet is shorter than a threshold length than when the specified length of the paper sheet is longer than the threshold length.
Claims12
A transport device comprising:
- a transport unit that transports a paper sheet;
- a cutter unit that cuts the paper sheet;
- and
- a controller that, when transport of the paper sheet in the vicinity of the cutter unit is to be halted, controls the transport unit so that the transport unit transports the paper sheet by a longer travel when a specified length of the paper sheet is shorter than a threshold length than when the specified length of the paper sheet is longer than the threshold length.
A transport method comprising:
- transporting a paper sheet;
- cutting the paper sheet;
- and
- when transport of the paper sheet in the vicinity of the cutter unit is to be halted, controlling the transport of the paper sheet so that the paper sheet is transported by a longer travel when a specified length of the paper sheet is shorter than a threshold length than when the specified length of the paper sheet is longer than the threshold length.
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a transport unit that transports a paper sheet;
- a cutter unit that cuts the paper sheet;
- a controller that, when transport of the paper sheet is to be halted, controls the transport unit so that the transport unit transports the paper sheet by a longer travel when a specified length of the paper sheet is shorter than a threshold length than when the specified length of the paper sheet is longer than the threshold length;
- and
- an image forming unit that forms an image on the paper sheet transported by the transport unit.
An image forming method comprising:
- transporting a paper sheet;
- cutting the paper sheet;
- when transport of the paper sheet is to be halted, controlling the transport of the paper sheet so that the paper sheet is transported by a longer travel when a specified length of the paper sheet is shorter than a threshold length than when the specified length of the paper sheet is longer than the threshold length;
- and
- forming an image on the transported paper sheet.
