Abstract: A method of a sheet alignment includes carrying a sheet from a sheet discharging port; transferring the sheet on a tray device toward a sheet end regulating device; moving the sheet on the tray device in a width direction orthogonal to the sheet discharging direction for widthwise alignment; and abutting again the sheet on the tray device against the sheet end regulating device while the sheet is in the widthwise alignment. When the sheet on the tray device is transferred toward the sheet end regulating device, the sheet is transferred at a predetermined speed. Before the sheet abuts against the sheet end regulating device, the speed is reduced to provide a conveying force to the sheet without stopping. While the conveying force is continuously applied to the sheet, the sheet is aligned in the width direction to thereby prevent skewing of the sheet relative to the sheet end regulating device.

Abstract: An original feeding apparatus includes a feeder tray for stacking originals, a separating device for separating the originals into a single sheet, and a feeding device for feeding the original to the separating device. The feeding device is raised or lowered between a feeding position where the feeding device contacts an uppermost original stacked on the feeder tray, and a retracted position where the feeding device is separated from the uppermost original. A drive device and a control device are disposed for raising and lowering the feeding device. The control device adjusts a rotating speed of the drive device for raising and lowering the feeding device according to a reading mode, so that the feeding device is lowered at a different speed to touch the uppermost original.

Abstract: A sheet aligning device includes a sheet discharging port, a tray device, a sheet end regulating device, a sheet transfer device, a widthwise aligning device for moving the sheet on the tray device in a direction orthogonal to a sheet discharging direction for widthwise alignment, and a control device for allowing the sheet transfer device to abut the sheet on the tray device against the sheet regulating device and allowing the widthwise aligning device to place the sheet at an appropriate position in a width direction. The sheet transfer device adjusts a conveying force applied to the sheet on the tray device, and the control device controls the sheet transfer device so that the conveying force applied to the sheet by the sheet transfer device is reduced, and the conveying force applied to the sheet by the sheet transfer device is increased.

Abstract: A control device includes a connecting device for connecting an external memory medium; and a non-volatile memory device having at least one memory region in which data can be electrically rewritten. The memory device includes a first memory region for storing control program data; a second memory region for storing connection judgment program data; and a third memory region for storing writing program data. The connection judgment program is executed to determine whether the external memory medium is connected. The writing program is executed to rewrite the control program data stored in the first memory region with external memory medium data stored in the external memory medium.

Abstract: A sheet feeder apparatus is controlled for sequentially feeding sheets to a predetermined processing position. A detection signal of a sheet stacked in a rise and lower tray located at a lower limit position is received before receiving a feed signal to start feeding of the sheet. Upon receiving the feed signal to start feeding of the sheet, the rise and lower tray is moved from the lower limit position to an upper limit position, and the sheet is supplied.

Abstract: A feeder apparatus includes a feed tray for stacking documents, a document detection sensor for detecting the documents on the feed tray, a supply roller for contacting a top surface of the documents on the feed tray and supplying the documents, and a support plate disposed in front of the feed tray for supporting a leading edge of the documents in a feed direction and being able to rise and fall between a lower limit position where the documents are loaded on the feed tray and an upper limit position where the top surface of the documents contacts the supply roller. The support plate is controlled to wait at a standby position below the upper limit position after the documents are loaded on the feed tray and move from the standby position to the upper limit position upon receiving a feed signal to start feeding the documents.
