Abstract
A recording system includes a recording device including a recording unit that performs recording onto a medium, a transporting belt that includes an adhesive layer and transports the medium stuck on the adhesive layer, a drive unit that drives the transporting belt, a control unit that includes a detection unit for detecting a load current flowing in the drive unit and that controls the drive unit. The recording system further includes a peeling device that peels the medium from the transporting belt, and a notification device that provides a notification. The control unit causes the notification device to provide a notification on a time to replace the adhesive layer, based on a detection result of the detection unit.
Claims6
A recording system, comprising:
- a recording device including
- a recording unit configured to perform recording onto a medium,
- a transporting belt including an adhesive layer and configured to transport the medium stuck on the adhesive layer,
- a drive unit configured to drive the transporting belt;
- a control unit that includes a detection unit configured to detect a load current flowing in the drive unit and that is configured to control the drive unit,
- a peeling device configured to peel the medium from the transporting belt and
- a notification device configured to provide a notification, wherein
- the control unit causes the notification device to provide a notification on a time to replace the adhesive layer, based on a detection result of the detection unit.
A recording device in which a medium is collected by a peeling device, the recording device comprising:
- a recording unit configured to perform recording onto the medium;
- a transporting belt including an adhesive layer and configured to transport the medium stuck on the adhesive layer;
- a drive unit configured to drive the transporting belt;
- a control unit including a detection unit configured to detect a load current flowing in the drive unit, and configured to control the drive unit;
- and
- a notification unit configured to provide a notification, wherein
- the control unit causes the notification unit to provide a notification on a time to replace the adhesive layer, based on the load current flowing in the drive unit when the medium is peeled from the transporting belt.
A control method for a recording device including
- a recording unit configured to perform recording onto a medium,
- a transporting belt including an adhesive layer and configured to transport the medium stuck on the adhesive layer, and
- a drive unit configured to drive the transporting belt, the control method comprising:
- detecting a load current flowing in the drive unit when the medium is peeled from the transporting belt;
- and
- providing a notification on a time to replace the adhesive layer, based on a value of the detected load current.
