Abstract
A medium transport apparatus includes a sheet feeding tray on which a medium is placed, a transport unit transporting the medium placed on the sheet feeding tray, a sheet ejection tray on which the medium transported by the transport unit is placed, a braking member braking the medium transported to the sheet ejection tray, a switching mechanism switching a position of the braking member, and an acquisition unit acquiring an index related to a state of the medium, wherein the switching mechanism sets the position of the braking member to a first position for braking the medium or a second position different from the first position based on the index acquired by the acquisition unit.
Claims11
A medium transport apparatus comprising:
- a sheet feeding tray on which a medium is placed;
- a transport unit transporting the medium placed on the sheet feeding tray;
- a sheet ejection tray on which the medium transported by the transport unit is placed;
- a braking member braking the medium transported to the sheet ejection tray;
- a switching mechanism switching a position of the braking member;
- and
- an acquisition unit acquiring an index related to a state of the medium, wherein
- the switching mechanism sets the position of the braking member to a first position for braking the medium or a second position different from the first position based on the index acquired by the acquisition unit.
A liquid ejection apparatus comprising:
- a sheet feeding tray on which a medium is placed;
- a transport unit transporting the medium placed on the sheet feeding tray;
- a liquid ejection unit ejecting a liquid onto the medium based on print data;
- a sheet ejection tray on which the medium with the liquid ejected thereon by the liquid ejection unit is placed;
- a braking member braking the medium transported to the sheet ejection tray;
- a switching mechanism switching a position of the braking member;
- and
- an acquisition unit acquiring an index related to a state of the medium,
- wherein the switching mechanism sets the braking member in a first position for braking the medium or a second position different from the first position based on the index acquired by the acquisition unit.
A medium transport method comprising:
- acquiring an index related to a state of a medium;
- switching a position of a braking member that brakes the medium transported to a sheet ejection tray to a first position for braking the medium or a second position different from the first position based on the index;
- and
- transporting the medium to the sheet ejection tray.
