PRINTING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18376176 titled 'PRINTING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a printing apparatus that prevents usability from being lowered by identifying errors in the conveyance of print media based on size information and orientation detection.
- Storage unit stores size information of print medium
- Plurality of rollers convey print medium
- First sensor detects edge of print medium
- Control unit identifies conveyance errors based on sensor data and size information
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various industries such as printing, packaging, and labeling where accurate conveyance and orientation of print media is crucial.
Problems Solved
1. Prevents errors in print medium conveyance 2. Ensures correct orientation of print media
Benefits
1. Improved printing accuracy 2. Enhanced usability of printing apparatus 3. Reduced waste of print media
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing Print Media Conveyance for Enhanced Efficiency
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to printing apparatus with error detection systems, but specific examples are not provided in this abstract.
Unanswered Questions
How does the control unit process the error detection data to issue a first error concerning the orientation of the print medium?
The abstract mentions that the control unit issues a first error based on sensor data and size information, but it does not detail the specific process or algorithms used for this error identification.
Are there any alternative methods or technologies currently available for identifying errors in print medium conveyance?
The abstract focuses on the proposed printing apparatus, but it does not discuss any existing technologies or methods that may already address similar issues in print media conveyance.
Original Abstract Submitted
An object of the present disclosure is to provide a printing apparatus with usability prevented from being lowered. An embodiment of the present disclosure is a printing apparatus including: a storage unit configured to store size information of a print medium; a plurality of rollers arranged in a conveyance path of a print medium and configured to convey the print medium; a first sensor configured to detect an edge of the print medium being conveyed by the rollers; and a control unit configured to execute processing for identifying an error occurring in the conveyance of the print medium. The control unit issues a first error concerning an orientation of the print medium based on a detection result of the first sensor and the size information stored in the storage unit.
