Abstract
An inkjet recording apparatus controls a conveying portion such that a sheet detected by a detector passes through an ink head portion without forming an image and is discharged to a second stack tray, and control the conveying portion such that a subsequent sheet that is fed by a feeding portion and follows the sheet detected by the detector is discharged to a first stack tray without passing through the ink head portion, based on a detection result of the detector.
Claims8
An inkjet recording apparatus comprising:
- an accommodating portion configured to accommodate a sheet;
- a feeding portion configured to feed the sheet accommodated in the accommodating portion;
- a conveying portion configured to convey the sheet fed by the feeding portion;
- an ink head portion configured to eject ink onto the sheet conveyed by the conveying portion to form an image;
- a detector provided downstream of the feeding portion and upstream of the ink head portion in a conveyance direction of the sheet and configured to detect the sheet;
- a first stack tray provided upstream of the detector in the conveyance direction and on which the sheet conveyed by the conveying portion is stacked;
- a second stack tray provided downstream of the ink head portion in the conveyance direction and on which the sheet conveyed by the conveying portion is stacked;
- and
- a controller configured to control the conveying portion such that the sheet detected by the detector passes through the ink head portion without forming the image and is discharged to the second stack tray, and control the conveying portion such that a subsequent sheet that is fed by the feeding portion and follows the sheet detected by the detector is discharged to the first stack tray without passing through the ink head portion, based on a detection result of the detector.
