Abstract
A media detection apparatus for detecting moisture information corresponding to a moisture amount or a moisture percentage of a sheet, the media detection apparatus including: a moisture sensor including a light emitter that emits light and a light receiver that receives the light reflected off the sheet or transmitted through the sheet; and a hardware processor that controls a temperature of the light emitter such that a wavelength of the light emitted from the light emitter becomes a predetermined wavelength.
Claims14
A media detection apparatus for detecting moisture information corresponding to a moisture amount or a moisture percentage of a sheet, the media detection apparatus comprising:
- a moisture sensor including a light emitter that emits light and a light receiver that receives the light reflected off the sheet or transmitted through the sheet;
- and
- a hardware processor that controls a temperature of the light emitter such that a wavelength of the light emitted from the light emitter becomes a predetermined wavelength.
A non-transitory recording medium storing a computer readable program for a computer of a media detection apparatus for detecting moisture information corresponding to a moisture amount or a moisture percentage of a sheet, the media detection apparatus including a moisture sensor including:
- a light emitter that emits light;
- and a light receiver that receives the light reflected off the sheet or the light transmitted through the sheet, and the program causing the computer to perform
- controlling a temperature of the light emitter such that a wavelength of the light emitted from the light emitter becomes a predetermined wavelength.
