| 20110056808 | CONVEYING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS INCLUDING CONVEYING APPARATUS, AND CONVEYING METHOD. - A conveying apparatus that rotates a roller and conveys an object, the conveying apparatus including: a roller driving unit that rotates the roller; a first operation unit that operates a rotation amount of the roller corresponding to a target movement amount of the object, on the basis of the target movement amount and information of a roller diameter, and quantizes the rotation amount; a random number generating unit that generates a random number; a second operation unit that operates a corrected rotation amount of the roller obtained by correcting the rotation amount, on the basis of the random number generated by the random number generating unit, a quantization error obtained by the first operation unit and a quantization method; and a driving control unit that controls driving of the roller according to the corrected rotation amount. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20110063352 | Recording apparatus and control method therefor - A disclosed recording apparatus includes a carriage having a recording head including nozzles, a moving unit configured to move the carriage, a platen including plural plate members connected in a carriage traveling direction to support a recording medium, a transferring unit to transfer the recording medium in a direction perpendicular to the carriage traveling direction, a recording control unit to record patterns at predetermined positions to form a carriage traveling direction pattern array plural times in a transferring direction of the transferring unit by changing relative recording times for recording the carriage traveling direction pattern array in forward and backward traveling directions, a determination unit to determine ink ejecting times at the predetermined positions, and a time control unit to linearly interpolate between the determined ink ejecting times at the predetermined positions to control ink ejecting times for intervals between the predetermined positions based on the obtained linear interpolation. | 03-17-2011 |
| 20110063356 | Conveying distance control device, recording apparatus, conveying distance control method, and storage medium - A conveying distance control device includes a conveying roller; a first detecting unit detecting rotational positions of the conveying roller; a line sensor sequentially detecting marks arranged on a test chart; a calculation unit, and a control unit. The calculation unit calculates a skew angle between a line passing through positions of a first mark and a second mark and a conveying direction of the conveying roller. The control unit obtains conveying distance errors indicating differences between corrected conveying distances not including errors caused by the skew angle and theoretical conveying distance of the marks in association with the rotational positions of the conveying roller, calculates a correction value for correcting a conveying distance of the conveying roller based on relationships between the conveying distance errors and the rotational positions of the conveying roller, and controls the conveying distance of the conveying roller based on the correction value. | 03-17-2011 |
| 20110148971 | Feed control apparatus, recording apparatus, control method, and recording medium - A disclosed feed control apparatus includes a feed roller; a first detection unit detecting a rotational position of the feed roller; a sensor detecting plural marks arranged on a test chart; a difference calculation unit that calculates a difference between actual and theoretical positional information of a Nth mark when the feed roller rotates one revolution; a correction feeding amount calculation unit that calculates correction feeding amounts of the marks based on the difference and actual feeding amounts of the marks; an error calculation unit that calculates errors between the correction feeding amounts and theoretical feeding amounts by matching them to the corresponding rotational positions of the feeding roller; and a feeding amount control unit that controls the feeding amount based on a relationship between the rotational positions of the feeding roller and the corresponding errors. | 06-23-2011 |
