IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME

摘要

An image forming apparatus and a method of controlling the same capable of obtaining the same effect as when sheets of paper are picked up in such a state that front ends thereof are all aligned by controlling paper feeding based on results of detecting paper movement and capable of improving feeding speed by maintaining a time taken for the sheet of paper to move to a feed roller constant are provided. The apparatus includes a pick-up roller to pick up a sheet of paper, a forward roller to feed the picked-up sheet of paper toward a downstream side of a paper moving path, a feed roller to feed the sheet of paper fed by the forward roller toward the downstream side of the paper moving path, and a feed sensor mounted between the forward roller and the feed roller to detect movement of the sheet of paper.

主权项

1. An image forming apparatus comprising:
a pick-up roller to pick up a sheet of paper loaded in a paper container; a forward roller to feed the sheet of paper picked up by the pick-up roller toward a downstream side of a paper moving path; a feed roller to feed the sheet of paper fed by the forward roller toward the downstream side of the paper moving path; and a feed sensor mounted between the forward roller and the feed roller to detect movement of the sheet of paper moving from the forward roller to the feed roller.
