20100059922 | PRINTING APPARATUS - A printing apparatus includes a holding section connected to a downstream end of a main transfer path for consecutively transferring paper sheets and formed of a curved transfer path, which consecutively transfers the paper sheets led out from the main transfer path in a curved state and holds them in an overlaid state. | 03-11-2010 |
20100078869 | PRINTER - In the state that a preceding sheet awaits at an awaiting position, a pair of conveying rollers are separated from each other, and the front end of a subsequent sheet sent out from a main conveying path passes the gap between the pair of conveying rollers. Based on a configuration that the distance from the trailing end of the subsequent sheet in the conveying direction to the pair of conveying rollers becomes equal to that from the front end of the preceding sheet to the pair of conveying rollers, the preceding sheet and subsequent sheet are sandwiched by the pair of conveying rollers so as to be conveyed in a first direction, thereby making the sheets into a state that the sheets are put on each other. Thereafter, the sheets are conveyed in a second direction by the pair of conveying rollers, so as to be discharged into discharging unit. | 04-01-2010 |

20110050003 | ELECTRIC SHOCK PREVENTING DEVICE AND INFORMATION PROCESSING TERMINAL INCLUDING ELECTRIC SHOCK PREVENTING DEVICE - There is provided an information processing terminal including an electric shock preventing device in a rear surface thereof. The electric shock preventing device includes a power source covering plate which slides to cover a connection unit; a separation preventing member which is prevented from sliding in a transverse direction by the power source covering plate if the power source covering plate exposes the connection unit, and is allowed to slide in the transverse direction if the power source covering plate covers the connection unit; and a lock installing member which prevents sliding in the transverse direction of the separation preventing member. The separation preventing member prevents separation of a printing circuit board block. Accordingly, an operator can separate the printing circuit board block only when removed a power cable from the connection unit, and electric shocks can be prevented. | 03-03-2011 |

20110205032 | DISPLAY DEVICE - According to one embodiment, a display device includes a display unit and a mounting stand. The display unit has a housing, a display panel housed at least partially within the housing, an engaging member joined to the housing at a first predetermined location and a processing unit configured to control the display panel to display a position indicator at a second predetermined location substantially corresponding in height to the first predetermined location. The mounting stand has a plurality of engaging parts disposed at different heights for engagement with the engaging member and a plurality of position marks disposed at third predetermined locations, the third predetermined locations being respectively at the different heights and visible when the display unit is mounted on the mounting stand. | 08-25-2011 |
20110293347 | PAPER DISCHARGE APPARATUS, PAPER DISCHARGE METHOD, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING METHOD - A paper discharge apparatus includes a conveying path configured to convey a paper from an upstream portion to a downstream portion, a feed roller provided on the conveying path, the feed roller configured to convey the paper from the upstream portion to the downstream portion, and a feed belt arranged downstream of the feed roller on the conveying path, the feed belt configured to convey the paper from the upstream portion to the downstream portion. A control unit controls the feed belt and the feed roller to bend the paper by keeping a speed of the feed belt slower than a speed of the feed roller for a period of time, and discharge the paper from the conveying path by keeping the speed of the feed belt to be at least the same speed as the feed roller. | 12-01-2011 |
20120010061 | PAPER DISCHARGE APPARATUS, PAPER DISCHARGE METHOD, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING METHOD - A paper discharge apparatus includes a conveying path configured to convey a paper from an upstream portion to a downstream portion. A preventing mechanism is provided on the conveying path. The preventing mechanism is configured to prevent the paper from being conveyed to the downstream portion by pushing the paper or blocking the conveying path. A control unit is configured to bend the paper by preventing the conveyance of the paper by using the preventing mechanism, and then convey the paper to the downstream portion of the conveying path for discharge of the paper from the conveying path. | 01-12-2012 |
20120055272 | PAPER ROLL DETECTION APPARATUS AND METHOD, AND PRINTER - Embodiments described herein are to an apparatus for detecting an amount of paper in a roll of paper, which includes a container including a support surface, and first and second recessed portions connected to each other on the support surface, the roll of paper being contained in one of the first and second recessed portions. The apparatus further includes a first sensor to detect whether an outer periphery of the roll of paper contained in one of the first and second recessed portions reaches a first outer diameter, and a second sensor to detect whether the outer periphery of the roll of paper contained in one of the first and second recessed portions reaches a second outer diameter smaller than the first outer diameter. The apparatus further includes an estimation unit to estimate a remaining amount of the paper based on a thickness of the paper. | 03-08-2012 |
20120056366 | PRINTING APPARATUS AND PAPER HOLDING DEVICE - Embodiments described herein are to a printing apparatus includes a printing mechanism to print information on a plurality of paper sheets and further to sequentially convey the printed paper sheets along a first conveying path. The apparatus further includes a paper holding mechanism provided downstream from the printing mechanism in a paper feed direction, which includes a pair of conveying members configured to face each other via the first conveying path. The apparatus further includes a control unit configured to control the printing mechanism and the paper holding mechanism to convey sequentially the printed paper sheets through a gap between the pair of conveying members so that the printed paper sheets are sequentially accumulated in the paper holding mechanism, and further configured to collectively discharge the printed paper sheets outside of the apparatus by holding the printed paper sheets between the pair of conveying members. | 03-08-2012 |
