Abstract

A sheet transport device includes a processor configured to adjust movement of a transport unit that transports a sheet on the basis of a transport load of the sheet.

Claims (29)

1. A sheet transport device comprising a processor configured to adjust movement of a transport unit that transports a sheet on a basis of a transport load of the sheet, wherein the transport unit transports the sheet while sucking the sheet,

wherein in a case where the transport load is larger than a predetermined value, the processor adjusts the movement by making a transport speed at which the transport unit is moved in a transport direction lower than the transport speed set in a case where the transport load is equal to or smaller than the redetermined value.

2. The sheet transport device according to claim 1 , wherein

in a case where the transport load is larger than the predetermined value, the processor adjusts the movement by making a transport acceleration at which the transport unit is moved in the transport direction lower than the transport acceleration set in a case where the transport load is equal to or smaller than the predetermined value.

3. The sheet transport device according to claim 2 , wherein

the processor makes a return acceleration at which the transport unit is returned in a direction reverse to the transport direction higher than the transport acceleration at which the transport unit is moved in the transport direction.

4. The sheet transport device according to claim 3 , wherein

the processor makes the return acceleration higher than the transport acceleration set in a case where the transport load is equal to or smaller than the predetermined value.

5. The sheet transport device according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor makes a return speed at which the transport unit is returned in a direction reverse to the transport direction higher than the transport speed at which the transport unit is moved in the transport direction.

6. The sheet transport device according to claim 5 , wherein

the processor makes the return speed higher than the transport speed set in a case where the transport load is equal to or smaller than the predetermined value.

7. The sheet transport device according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor obtains the transport load from size information indicative of a size of the sheet and basis weight information indicative of a weight of the sheet per unit area.

8. A sheet transport device comprising a processor configured to adjust movement of a transport unit that transports a sheet on a basis of a transport load of the sheet, wherein

the processor obtains the transport load from size information indicative of a size of the sheet and basis weight information indicative of a weight of the sheet per unit area,

wherein in a case where the transport load is larger than a predetermined value, the processor adjusts the movement by making a transport speed at which the transport unit is moved in a transport direction lower than the transport speed set in a case where the transport load is equal to or smaller than the predetermined value.

9. The sheet transport device according to claim 8 , wherein

the transport unit transports the sheet while sucking the sheet.

10. The sheet transport device according to claim 9 , wherein

in a case where the transport load is larger than the predetermined value, the processor adjusts the movement by making a transport acceleration at which the transport unit is moved in the transport direction lower than the transport acceleration set in a case where the transport load is equal to or smaller than the predetermined value.

11. The sheet transport device according to claim 10 , wherein

the processor makes a return acceleration at which the transport unit is returned in a direction reverse to the transport direction higher than the transport acceleration at which the transport unit is moved in the transport direction.

12. The sheet transport device according to claim 11 , wherein

the processor makes the return acceleration higher than the transport acceleration set in a case where the transport load is equal to or smaller than the predetermined value.

13. The sheet transport device according to claim 8 , wherein

the processor makes a return speed at which the transport unit is returned in a direction reverse to the transport direction higher than the transport speed at which the transport unit is moved in the transport direction.

14. The sheet transport device according to claim 13 , wherein

the processor makes the return speed higher than the transport speed set in a case where the transport load is equal to or smaller than the predetermined value.
