<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a screen printing apparatus in which paper exhaustion can be correctly detected even when using, as a target, a paper roll of a type such that the adhesion strength in which the most rear end of the paper is coupled with a paper tube varies, and to provide a method for detecting the paper exhaustion of cleaning paper in the screen printing apparatus. <P>SOLUTION: Monitoring is performed about whether or not to fulfill any one of: such a case that a slit detection signal S, for detecting the rotational amount of the unused paper roll, is not detected repeatedly in the detection of the paper exhaustion; such a case that the duration time T1 of the slit detection signal S exceeds a first threshold Th1 to be set as an upper limit of the normal detection time; and such a case that one cycle time T2 of an operation of feeding paper exceeds a second threshold Th2 to be set as the operation delay limit time. When any one of them is fulfilled, it is determined that the paper exhaustion occurs at the paper roll. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
