    摘要: A novel sheet conveying device includes a conveyor, a sound collector, and circuitry. The conveyor conveys a sheet in a sheet conveyance direction. The sound collector collects sound produced by a conveyance of the sheet. The circuitry is to cause the sound collector to collect the sound in an abnormal determination operation, determine whether an abnormal conveyance occurs based on the sound collected by the sound collector in the abnormal determination operation, cause the conveyor to convey the sheet at a first speed in the sheet conveyance direction in a normal conveyance operation, and cause the conveyor to convey the sheet at a second speed slower than the first speed in the sheet conveyance direction in the abnormal determination operation.

    摘要: An image forming device capable of reducing resources related to destruction of a wireless tag is provided. The image forming device according to the present embodiment includes a reader and writer, a fixing unit, a determination unit, and a control unit. The reader and writer reads information from the wireless tag. The fixing unit heats and conveys a sheet having the wireless tag. The determination unit determines a defect of the wireless tag based on a reading result of the reader and writer. If the determination unit determines that the wireless tag is defective, the control unit controls the fixing unit to increase an amount of heat applied to the wireless tag such that information cannot be read from the wireless tag.

    摘要: A sheet processing apparatus includes a sheet entrance portion, a post-processing device, and circuitry. The sheet entrance portion receives a sheet medium conveyed from an upstream apparatus. The post-processing device separates a two-ply sheet, inserts the sheet medium into the two-ply sheet, and performs a heating operation on the two-ply sheet in which the sheet medium is inserted. The circuitry causes the post-processing device to interrupt a post-processing operation, as one of a series of post-processing operations up to the heating operation, in response to an occurrence of an abnormal condition of the upstream apparatus, and resume the post-processing operation interrupted due to the abnormal condition of the upstream apparatus, in response to a recovery from the abnormal condition of the upstream apparatus.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes a stacking unit, an access detecting unit, a malfunction detecting unit, a counting unit, and a process deciding unit. The stacking unit receives, as stacked, a recording material. The access detecting unit detects an access to the stacking unit by an operator. The malfunction detecting unit detects that a conveyance malfunction of the recording material has occurred on a conveying path guiding the recording material supplied from the stacking unit. The counting unit counts, after the access detecting unit detects an access to the stacking unit by the operator in a state that the malfunction detecting unit does not detect that the conveyance malfunction has occurred, the number of the conveyance malfunction detected by the malfunction detecting unit. The process deciding unit decides a process to address the conveyance malfunction based on the number of the conveyance malfunction counted by the counting unit.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes a plate, a feeding unit that feeds a recording material placed on the plate, an image forming unit that form an image on the fed recording material, a conveying unit to convey a recording material pinched by a nip pressure from a rotating member nip portion, a switching unit to switch the nip pressure, a detecting unit, and a control unit. The detecting unit detects property information regarding the fed recording material. In response to an instruction to form the image on the recording material and before detection of property information completes, the control unit controls to switch the nip pressure based on information regarding image forming on the recording material, and after detection of the property information completes, the control unit controls to switch the nip pressure based on the information regarding the image forming on the recording material and the detected property information.
