Abstract
A post-processing apparatus includes a discharge tray, a sheet conveyor configured to convey a sheet onto the discharge tray, a drive unit configured to drive the sheet conveyor, a sensor configured to detect a position of the sheet discharged onto the discharge tray, and a control unit configured to determine a parameter to control the drive unit based on an output of the sensor, and to control the drive unit based on the determined parameter.
Claims20
A post-processing apparatus comprising:
- a discharge tray;
- a sheet conveyor configured to convey a sheet onto the discharge tray;
- a drive unit configured to drive the sheet conveyor;
- a sensor configured to detect a position of the sheet discharged onto the discharge tray;
- and
- a control unit configured to determine a parameter to control the drive unit based on an output of the sensor, and to control the drive unit based on the determined parameter.
A control method that is performed by a post-processing apparatus including a discharge tray, a sheet conveyor configured to convey a sheet onto the discharge tray, a drive unit configured to drive the sheet conveyor, and a sensor configured to detect a position of the sheet discharged onto the discharge tray, the method comprising:
- determining a parameter to control the drive unit based on an output of the sensor;
- and
- controlling the drive unit based on the determined parameter.
The method according to claim. 10, wherein the sheet conveyor includes a conveying roller that is rotated according to a drive signal from the drive unit, the conveying roller causing the sheet to be discharged onto the discharge tray at different positions depending on a rotating speed of the conveying roller.
A post-processing apparatus comprising:
- a discharge tray;
- a sheet conveyor belt driven by rollers and configured to convey a sheet onto the discharge tray;
- a drive unit configured to drive the rollers;
- a plurality of sheet sensors arranged on the discharge tray;
- and
- a control unit configured to determine a parameter to control the drive unit based on an output of the sensors, and to control the drive unit based on the determined parameter.
