Abstract
A sheet conveyance roller, having an axis; a rotational member that is provided at the outer peripheral part of the axis capable of rotating in accordance with rotation of the axis, and conveys the sheet abutting against the outer peripheral part upon rotation; and an IC tag having a storage function and a wireless communication function. Then, at least part of the IC tag is embedded in the rotational member.
Claims15
A sheet conveyance roller, having:
- a rotational member that rotates to convey a sheet, wherein the rotational member has an outer peripheral part abutting against a sheet conveyed and a thrust edge face not abutting against a sheet conveyed;
- and
- an IC tag having a storage function and a wireless communication function,
- wherein in a state in which a part of the IC tag is embedded in the rotational member, an other part of the IC tag is protruded from the thrust edge face of the rotational member in a thrust direction, and
- wherein by pulling out the other part of the IC tag that is protruded from the thrust edge face of the rotational member in the thrust direction, the IC tag can be separated from the rotational member.
