Abstract
A controller causes a sensor unit to perform: a first operation for detecting a front end of a sheet; and a second operation for detecting a type of the sheet performed at a timing that is based on detection of the front end of the sheet in the first operation.
Claims21
A sheet conveyance apparatus comprising:
- a conveyance path for a sheet;
- a conveyance unit that conveys the sheet on the conveyance path;
- a sensor unit that performs a first operation for detecting a front end of the sheet and a second operation for detecting a type of the sheet, and outputs signals indicating results of the first operation and the second operation;
- and
- a controller that receives the signals from the sensor unit and detects the front end and the type of the sheet, and causes the sensor unit to perform the second operation at a timing that is based on detection of the front end of the sheet in the first operation.

A non-transitory recording medium storing a program executed by a processor of a computer, the program, when executed by the processor, causing the computer to:
- by a sensor unit, perform a first operation for detecting a front end of a sheet;
- detect the front end of the sheet based on a signal from the sensor unit;
- by the sensor unit, perform a second operation for detecting a type of the sheet at a timing that is based on detection of the front end of the sheet in the first operation;
- and
- detect the type of the sheet based on a signal from the sensor unit in the second operation.
