Abstract: A conveyance apparatus includes: a supply unit rotatably supporting a roll member around which a sheet is wound in form of a roll and configured to supply the sheet from the roll member; a motor for rotating the roll member; a roller pair configured to convey the sheet supplied from the supply unit while pinching the sheet; and a control unit configured to set the torque of the motor according to sheet information related to the sheet when taking up the sheet on the roll member by driving the motor while the sheet is pinched by the roller pair being stopped.

Abstract: This invention has been made to cause a printing apparatus for conveying roll paper and performing printing to simultaneously attain a stable conveyance accuracy and prevent skewed conveyance independently of LF roller driving conditions and disturbance conditions that variously change as the roll paper state changes. For this purpose, a feed motor is used as a load generator for the roll paper. A section from a conveyance operation by the LF roller to the next conveyance operation is divided into a plurality of sub-sections. A feed mechanism is controlled by switching between a feeder load generation section and a feeder load zero section for each sub-section.

Abstract: A recording apparatus can improve stability of the speed of a carriage without increasing the production cost. The recording apparatus for performing recording by discharging ink from a recording device onto a recording medium includes a carriage adapted to convey a recording head, and a conveying member adapted to drive the carriage using a belt stretched between pulleys connected to corresponding ones of two motors. A driving force for the carriage by the two motors is differently distributed.
