Decoloring system and control method of decoloring system

摘要

A decoloring system has a scanner that reads an image on a paper sheet and generates image data; a first roller that applies heat on the paper sheet to decolor the image on the paper sheet; a heater that heats the roller; a first transporting mechanism that transports the paper sheet having the image to the scanner; a second transporting mechanism that transports the paper sheet via the first transporting mechanism to the heater; an operation panel that receives a read condition of the image as input by a user; and a controller that determines an operating condition of the heater, and a transporting speed of the paper sheet by the first transporting mechanism and the second transporting mechanism on the basis of the image read condition input by the user through the operation panel.

主权项

1. An apparatus for decoloring a printed image on a sheet using heat, comprising
a first transporting path having at least a first image unit therealong a second transporting path positioned at the terminus of the first transporting path a heating unit located along the second transporting path, the second transporting path extending from the terminus of the first transporting path to a position of the first transporting path located in a transport direction position upstream of the first image unit; the first image unit capable of detecting the presence of an image on the same sheet both before and after decoloring of the image; and a controller having a memory associated therewith, wherein the controller, in conjunction with the memory, sets a parameter of the decoloring apparatus based upon a desired property of the decoloring operation on a sheet.
