SHEET FEEDER, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18182732 titled 'SHEET FEEDER, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a sheet feeder system that prioritizes feeding print media sheets from a specific tray based on predetermined priorities.
- Multiple sheet feeding trays for print media sheets
- Processor assigns top priority to a specific tray for feeding
- Priority is determined in advance and is the highest among all trays
- Tray must be set up and state fixed for feeding to occur
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various industries where automated sheet feeding is required, such as printing, packaging, and mailing.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient sheet feeding process 2. Prioritization of trays for seamless operation
Benefits
1. Increased productivity and efficiency 2. Reduced manual intervention 3. Minimized errors in sheet feeding process
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing sheet feeding processes in printing presses, packaging lines, and mail sorting systems.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be automated sheet feeding systems in industrial printers or packaging machines that prioritize trays based on specific criteria.
Unanswered Questions
How does the processor determine the top priority tray for feeding?
The abstract does not provide details on the specific criteria or algorithm used by the processor to assign the top priority to a particular tray.
What happens if the top priority tray is not available for feeding?
It is unclear from the abstract how the system handles situations where the top priority tray is not accessible or available for feeding.
Original Abstract Submitted
A sheet feeder includes: multiple sheet feeding trays each configured to house one or more print media sheets; and a processor configured to cause a sheet feeding tray assigned a top priority to feed a print media sheet after the sheet feeding tray is set up for sheet feeding and a state of the sheet feeding tray is fixed, the top priority being highest among priorities that are assigned to the multiple sheet feeding trays and that are determined in advance with regard to sheet feeding.
