    摘要: Provided are a medium conveying apparatus to able to satisfactorily feed a medium. A medium conveying apparatus includes a loading tray, a feed roller to feed a medium placed on the loading tray, a separation roller located above the feed roller to face the feed roller, a bottom surface guide located at a first position where contact between a bottom surface of the medium placed on the loading tray and the feed roller is restricted, before medium feeding, and located at a second position where contact between the bottom surface of the medium placed on the loading tray and the feed roller is allowed, at a time of medium feeding, a first guide engaged with the bottom surface guide located at the first position to restrict contact between a front edge of the medium placed on the loading tray and the separation roller, before medium feeding, and a second guide located between an upstream edge of the separation roller in a medium conveying direction and a central part of the separation roller to regulate the front edge of the medium at a position apart upwardly by a predetermined distance from a nip part of the feed roller and the separation roller, at a time of medium feeding.

    摘要: A media feeding apparatus includes: a feed roller, a separation roller, and a pressing portion to press one of the feed roller and the separation roller against the other to form a nip region. A surface of the feed roller has grooves extending in a width direction of the feed roller. The grooves are arranged with a pitch such that at least one groove is always present in the nip region during feeding of the medium. A width of each groove is 0.5 mm or greater and is set such that a contact area ratio is 0.5 or greater, the ratio being a value obtained by {(a surface area of the feed roller in the nip region−an area of the at least one groove of the feed roller in the nip region)}/(the surface area of the feed roller in the nip region). A surface of the separation roller has grooves extending in a circumferential direction of the separation roller.

    摘要: An information processing system includes circuitry. The circuitry performs image processing on an image to generate a processed image. The circuitry acquires a correct character string for a text area in the processed image. The circuitry acquires a recognized character string by performing character recognition on the text area in the processed image. The circuitry performs collation between the correct character string and the recognized character string. The circuitry displays one or more windows reflecting a result of the collation between the correct character string and the recognized character string on a display for allowing a user to evaluate whether the image processing is suitable for character recognition. The circuitry controls a displaying manner of at least one window of the one or more windows to vary according to the result of the collation.

    摘要: A medium conveyance apparatus includes a housing having a frame, a placing table provided on the housing to be openable and closeable and configured to place a medium when the placing table is in an opened state, a to-be-engaged portion provided on the frame, an engagement part provided on at least one side of the placing table to face the to-be-engaged portion when the placing table is in a closed state, a to-be-contacted portion provided on the frame, and a contact portion provided on the placing table. In the medium conveyance apparatus, when the placing table is in the closed state, the engagement part engages with the to-be-engaged portion and maintains the closed state of the placing table. In the medium conveyance apparatus, when the placing table is in the closed state, the contact portion contacts the to-be-contacted portion and restricts movement of the placing table and thereby restricting separation of the engagement part from the to-be-engaged portion.

    摘要: A medium feed apparatus includes a first sensor, a second sensor, a third sensor to detect rotation of the separation roller, and a processor. The processor controls a motor to put the separation roller on hold from when starting the feed of the medium to when the second sensor detects a front end of the medium and generate the drive force from when the second sensor detects the front end of the medium to when the first sensor detects a back end of the medium, and controls the motor to stop the feed roller while generating the drive force if the third sensor detects rotation of the separation roller in the opposite direction to the medium feed direction during feed of the medium.
