Claims13
A printing device, comprising:
- a sheet feed portion which feeds a recording medium sheet;
- a sheet discharging portion on which recording medium sheets having images recorded are to be loaded;
- a conveyance portion which conveys the recording medium sheet from the sheet feed portion to the sheet discharging portion;
- an image recording portion which records an image on a surface of the conveyed recording medium sheet by the conveyance portion;
- an image defect detection unit which detects a recording medium sheet, on which image defects occur, among the recording medium sheets having the images recorded by the image recording portion;
- a first stamper unit which is provided on a downstream side of the image recording portion in the conveyance portion with respect to a conveyance direction of the recording medium sheet and attaches ink to a leading end edge of the recording medium sheet on which the image defects occur;
- a first stamp control unit which controls an operation of the first stamper unit based on detection results of the image defect detection unit;
- a receiving unit which receives an input of a number of sheets which is a unit of sorting when the recording medium sheets loaded on the sheet discharging portion are sorted by a definite number;
- a setting unit which sets the received number as a sorting number of sheets;
- a second stamper unit which is provided on the downstream side of the image recording portion in the conveyance portion with respect to the conveyance direction of the recording medium sheet and attaches ink to the leading end edge of the recording medium corresponding to the sorting number of sheets set by the setting unit;
- and
- a counting unit which counts a number of recording medium sheets conveyed to the second stamper unit;
- a second stamp control unit which controls an operation of the second stamper unit based on the number of the recording medium sheets conveyed to the second stamper unit and the sorting number of sheets set by the setting unit.
