Abstract
Provided is a method for conveying a sheet member while the sheet member is supported by a roller member, the method including: detecting forces applied, by the sheet member supported by the roller member, to regions at both ends in a width direction of the roller member, respectively, as force components in a plurality of mutually different directions; and adjusting the force components in the regions at both ends in the width direction to a specific balance based on the detection results for the plurality of force components.

A method for conveying a sheet member while the sheet member is supported by a roller member, the method comprising:
- detecting forces applied, by the sheet member supported by the roller member, to regions at both ends in a width direction of the roller member, respectively, as force components in a plurality of mutually different directions;
- and
- adjusting the force components in the regions at both ends in the width direction to a specific balance based on the detection results for the plurality of force components.
A sheet member-conveying apparatus configured to convey a sheet member, the apparatus comprising:
- a roller member configured to convey the sheet member to a downstream side while supporting the sheet member;
- a detection unit configured to detect forces applied, by the sheet member supported by the roller member, to regions at both ends in a width direction of the roller member, respectively, as force components in a plurality of mutually different directions;
- and
- an adjustment unit configured to adjust the force components in the regions at both ends in the width direction to a specific balance based on the detection results for the plurality of force components.
