20150251865 | PRINTING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A printing apparatus includes a feeding roller configured to feed a printing sheet stacked on a stacking unit, a conveyance roller configured to convey the printing sheet fed by the feeding roller, a printing unit configured to print the printing sheet conveyed by the conveyance roller, a conveyance control unit configured to control conveyance of printing sheets so that the trailing edge of a preceding sheet as a printing sheet precedingly fed from the stacking unit and the leading edge of a succeeding sheet as a printing sheet succeedingly fed from the stacking unit overlap each other, and a determination unit configured to determine whether to convey the succeeding sheet to a position facing the printing unit while keeping an overlap state between the preceding sheet and the succeeding sheet. | 09-10-2015 |
20150256694 | PRINTING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A printing apparatus includes a first feeding roller, a feeding motor configured to drive the first feeding roller, a second feeding roller, a conveyance roller, a conveyance motor configured to drive the conveyance roller, a printing unit configured to print the printing sheet, a detection sensor configured to detect the leading edge of the printing sheet, and a control unit configured to, when the printing unit performs a printing operation on a preceding sheet, drive the feeding motor in synchronization with the conveyance motor before the detection sensor detects the leading edge of a succeeding sheet, and continuously drive the feeding motor so that the conveying speed of the succeeding sheet by the feeding motor becomes higher than that of the preceding sheet after the detection sensor detects the leading edge of the succeeding sheet. | 09-10-2015 |
20150353306 | PRINTING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A printing apparatus comprises a feeding roller configured to feed a printing sheet, a conveyance roller configured to convey the printing sheet, a printing unit configured to print on the printing sheet, a conveyance control unit configured to control conveyance of printing sheets so that a trailing edge of a preceding sheet and a leading edge of a succeeding sheet overlap each other, an acquisition unit configured to acquire, before completion of a printing operation of the preceding sheet, information of a leading edge position of the succeeding sheet, and a determination unit configured to determine whether to convey the succeeding sheet to a position facing the printing unit while keeping an overlap state between the preceding sheet and the succeeding sheet in accordance with the leading edge position of the succeeding sheet. | 12-10-2015 |
20150353307 | PRINTING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A printing apparatus comprises a feeding roller configured to feed a printing sheet, a conveyance roller configured to convey the printing sheet, a printing unit configured to print on the printing sheet, a conveyance control unit configured to control conveyance of printing sheets so that a trailing edge of a preceding sheet and a leading edge of a succeeding sheet overlap each other, a determination unit configured to determine whether the leading edge of the succeeding sheet overlaps the trailing edge of the preceding sheet, and a delay unit configured to delay conveyance of the preceding sheet when the determination unit determines that the leading edge of the succeeding sheet does not overlap the trailing edge of the preceding sheet. | 12-10-2015 |
20150353308 | PRINTING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR - A printing apparatus comprises a conveyance control unit which controls conveyance of printing sheets so that a trailing edge of a preceding sheet as a printing sheet precedingly fed from a stacking unit and a leading edge of a succeeding sheet as a printing sheet succeedingly fed from the stacking unit overlap each other, and a determination unit which determines whether to convey the succeeding sheet to a position facing the printing unit while keeping an overlap state between the preceding sheet and the succeeding sheet. The determination unit determines whether the printing sheet is suitable for overlap conveyance, and if the determination unit determines that the printing sheet is unsuitable for overlap conveyance, the conveyance control unit conveys the succeeding sheet while the succeeding sheet does not overlap the preceding sheet. | 12-10-2015 |
20150353311 | PRINTING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR - A printing apparatus comprises a conveyance control unit which controls conveyance of printing sheets so that a trailing edge of a preceding sheet as a printing sheet precedingly fed from the stacking unit and a leading edge of a succeeding sheet as a printing sheet succeedingly fed from the stacking unit overlap each other; and a skew correction unit which performs skew correction of the succeeding sheet while the succeeding sheet overlaps the preceding sheet by the conveyance control unit. The skew correction unit makes the leading edge of the succeeding sheet abut against the conveyance roller during a time from an end of a last line feed operation by the conveyance roller for printing on the preceding sheet by the printing unit to start of a next conveyance operation. | 12-10-2015 |
20150355592 | PRINTING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD - A printing apparatus according to the present invention includes a feeding unit, a conveying unit including a pair of rollers, a printing unit, a control unit and a determination unit. The control can execute successive overlapped conveyance and skew correction. In the skew correction a leading edge of the printing medium abuts against the pair of rollers in a stop state. The determination unit determines whether to execute the successive overlapped conveyance. The control unit executes the skew correction of the succeeding printing medium at a timing according to a determination result of the determination unit. | 12-10-2015 |
20160052733 | SHEET FEEDING APPARATUS AND PRINTING APPARATUS - A sheet feeding apparatus includes a feeding unit, a separation surface, a first separation part configured to switch between a condition in which the first separation part is protruded from the separate surface and the sheet comes into contact with the first separation part and a condition in which the first separation part is retracted from the separate surface and the sheet does not come into contact with the first separation part and to be fixed to each of the two conditions and a second separation part configured to be movable in a direction from a condition in which the second separation part is protruded from the separate surface and the sheet is capable of come into contact with the second separation part to a condition in which the second separation part is retracted from the separate surface, according to a contact force received from the sheet. | 02-25-2016 |
