RECORDING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING RECORDING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18479225 titled 'RECORDING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING RECORDING APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a recording apparatus that can detect the presence or absence of paper in a manual paper feed section and determine the need for paper replenishment based on this detection.
- Manual paper feed section for setting multiple sheets of paper at once
- Detection section to detect paper presence or absence
- Determination section to assess paper replenishment possibility based on detection output
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various industries such as printing, publishing, and document management where accurate paper supply monitoring is essential.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient paper management in recording devices 2. Preventing recording interruptions due to paper shortage
Benefits
1. Improved workflow efficiency 2. Reduced downtime for paper replenishment 3. Cost savings by optimizing paper usage
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing paper usage in printers, copiers, and other recording devices for businesses and offices.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be a similar recording apparatus with manual paper feed but lacking the advanced detection and replenishment determination features described in this patent application.
Unanswered Questions
How does the detection section differentiate between different types of paper?
The abstract does not provide details on whether the detection section can distinguish between various paper types or sizes.
What is the expected lifespan of the detection section components?
There is no information on the durability or maintenance requirements of the detection section components in the abstract.
Original Abstract Submitted
A recording apparatus that performs recording according to printing request data includes: a manual paper feed section in which a plurality of sheets of paper are settable at once; a detection section that detects the presence or absence of the paper set in the manual paper feed section; and a determination section that determines a possibility of replenishment of the paper in the manual paper feed section based on an output of the detection section.
