Sheet processing apparatus and control method
A sheet processing apparatus is described. The sheet processing apparatus includes a housing section, a conveyance mechanism and a controller. The housing section accommodates a sheet. The conveyance mechanism conveys the sheet accommodated in the housing section to a predetermined position at the downstream side in a sheet conveyance direction. The controller controls the conveyance mechanism to remove a needle-free binding section of a sheet bundle if a conveyance jam of the sheet occurs.
1. A sheet processing apparatus, comprising:
a housing section configured to accommodate a sheet;
a conveyance mechanism configured to convey the sheet accommodated in the housing section to a predetermined position at a downstream side of a sheet conveyance path in a sheet conveyance direction, wherein the conveyance mechanism comprises a first roller configured to abut against the sheet accommodated in the housing section to feed sheets from the housing section;
a sensor configured to detect a conveyance jam of the sheet conveyed by the conveyance mechanism; and
a controller configured to perform control to rotate the first roller alternately in forward and reverse directions if a conveyance jam of the sheet occurs.
2. The sheet processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first roller includes a pick up roller.
3. The sheet processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the sensor is an optical sensor.
4. A sheet processing apparatus, comprising:
a housing section configured to accommodate a sheet;
a conveyance mechanism configured to convey the sheet accommodated in the housing section to a predetermined position at a downstream side of a sheet conveyance path in a sheet conveyance direction, wherein the conveyance mechanism comprises a second roller configured to convey the sheet accommodated in the housing section towards the downstream side in a sheet conveyance direction, and a third roller arranged opposite to the second roller and forming a nip for sandwiching the sheet;
a sensor configured to detect a conveyance jam of the sheet conveyed by the conveyance mechanism; and
a controller configured to perform control to rotate the second roller and the third roller by enabling rotation speeds of the second roller and the third roller to be different from each other if the conveyance jam of the sheet occurs.
5. The sheet processing apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the second roller includes a paper feed roller.
6. The sheet processing apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the third roller includes a separation roller.
7. A sheet processing apparatus, comprising:
a housing section configured to accommodate a sheet;
a conveyance mechanism configured to convey the sheet accommodated in the housing section to a predetermined position at a downstream side of a sheet conveyance path in a sheet conveyance direction, wherein the conveyance mechanism comprises a fourth roller configured to convey the sheet towards the downstream side in the sheet conveyance direction;
a regulating member configured to abut against the sheet to regulate conveyance of the sheet, wherein the regulating member is disposed at an upstream side in the sheet conveyance direction of the fourth roller and abuts against the sheet located at a position where an end of the sheet at the downstream side in the sheet conveyance direction contacts with the fourth roller;
a sensor configured to detect a conveyance jam of the sheet conveyed by the conveyance mechanism; and
a controller configured to control the regulating member to regulate conveyance of the sheet by the regulating member if the conveyance jam of the sheet occurs and performs control to rotate the fourth roller.
8. The sheet processing apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the fourth roller includes a paper feed roller.
9. The sheet processing apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the regulating member includes a sheet pressing member.
