  • Transport device, transport method, image forming apparatus, and image forming method
    Patent number: 9187278
    Abstract: A transport device includes a transport unit that transports a paper sheet, a cutter unit that cuts the paper sheet, and a controller that, when transport of the paper sheet is to be halted, controls the transport unit so that the transport unit halts an ideal cut line of the paper sheet corresponding to a specified length of the paper sheet at a more upstream side in a direction of the transport of the paper sheet when a specified length of the paper sheet is shorter than a threshold length than when the specified length of the paper sheet is longer than the threshold length.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 6, 2013
    Date of Patent: November 17, 2015
    Assignee: FUJI XEROX CO., LTD.
    Inventors: Satoshi Kubota, Tomohiro Yamada, Ayumu Ono
  • Transport device, transport method, image forming apparatus, and image forming method for sheet transport control using sheet length
    Patent number: 9073713
    Abstract: A transport device includes a transport unit that transports a paper sheet, a cutter unit that cuts the paper sheet, and a controller that, when transport of the paper sheet in the vicinity of the cutter unit is to be halted, controls the transport unit so that the transport unit transports the paper sheet by a longer travel when a specified length of the paper sheet is shorter than a threshold length than when the specified length of the paper sheet is longer than the threshold length.

  • Document reading device and image forming apparatus
    Patent number: 8289586
    Abstract: A document reading device includes: a document image acquisition unit that scans a document and obtains a document image; a document image storage unit that stores the document image obtained by the document image acquisition unit; a compression unit that compresses the document image stored in the document image storage unit; a determination unit that determines whether or not a document image file compressed by the compression unit has been normally produced; and a setting change unit that, in the case where it is determined that the document image file compressed has not been produced normally, changes a setting so as to recompress the document image stored in the document image storage unit with another setting.
