Abstract
An erasing apparatus according to an embodiment includes an erasing section configured to erase an image formed on a sheet by heating the sheet that is transported through the erasing section, the erasing section including a heating roller, a press roller in contact with the heating roller. A motor rotates the heating and press rollers. A transportation section transports the sheet. The erasing apparatus further includes a controller that controls the erasing section and the transportation section so that a transportation speed of the sheet transported through the erasing section is a first transportation speed lower than a normal speed if a predetermined period of time from a start of a job has not elapsed.

An erasing apparatus comprising:
- an erasing section configured to erase an image formed on a sheet by heating the sheet that is transported through the erasing section, the erasing section including a heating roller, a press roller in contact with the heating roller, and a motor configured to rotate the heating and press rollers;
- a transportation section that transports the sheet;
- and
- a controller that controls the erasing section and the transportation section so that a transportation speed of the sheet transported through the erasing section is a first transportation speed lower than a normal speed if a predetermined period of time from a start of a job has not elapsed.
A method of controlling an erasing apparatus that includes a transportation section that transports the sheet and an erasing section configured to erase an image formed on a sheet by heating the sheet that is transported through the erasing section, the erasing section including a heating roller, a press roller in contact with the heating roller, and a motor configured to rotate the heating and press rollers, the method comprising:
- controlling a transportation speed of the sheet transported through the erasing section so that the transportation speed is a first transportation speed lower than a normal speed if a predetermined period of time from a start of a job has not elapsed.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for controlling an erasing apparatus that includes a transportation section that transports the sheet and an erasing section configured to erase an image formed on a sheet by heating the sheet that is transported through the erasing section, the erasing section including a heating roller, a press roller in contact with the heating roller, and a motor configured to rotate the heating and press rollers, the instructions causing a computer to control the erasing apparatus by:
- controlling a transportation speed of the sheet transported through the erasing section so that the transportation speed is a first transportation speed lower than a normal speed if a predetermined period of time from a start of a job has not elapsed.
