RECORDING MEDIUM REMOVING APPARATUS, COLOR ERASING APPARATUS, CUTTING APPARATUS, AND RECORDING MEDIUM REMOVING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a recording medium removing apparatus, color erasing apparatus, cutting apparatus and recording medium removing method, which can remove a sheet bundle when the sheet bundle whose thickness exceeds an allowable range of a thickness sensor is conveyed.

SOLUTION: A color erasing apparatus including a recording medium removing apparatus includes: a thickness sensor configured to change an output signal according to the thickness of a recording medium; a recording medium conveying mechanism configured to convey the recording medium; a recording medium removing mechanism provided downstream in a recording medium conveying direction of the thickness sensor and configured to remove the recording medium in a direction perpendicular to the recording medium conveying direction; a control unit configured to remove, if the control unit determines that the recording medium is unconveyable, the recording medium from a recording medium conveying path with the recording medium removing mechanism; and a heating roller configured to heat the recording medium to temperature equal to or higher than color erasing temperature.
