AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In recording medium processing apparatuses, the recording medium may be displaced in the width direction due to the force from the cutting member and the pull of the second conveyance unit, leading to inaccuracies in processing.

Method used

A recording medium processing apparatus is designed with a first conveyance unit that conveys the recording medium, a cutting member that cuts the medium along the conveying direction, a second conveyance unit located upstream, and a preventing or avoiding unit that prevents the portion overlapped with the cutting member from being pulled by the second conveyance unit.

Benefits of technology

This configuration effectively prevents displacement of the recording medium in the width direction, ensuring accurate processing and reducing variations in the cut portion.

Abstract

A recording medium processing apparatus includes: a first conveyance unit that conveys a recording medium; a cutting member that is provided alongside the first conveyance unit in a width direction of the conveyed recording medium and cuts the recording medium along a conveying direction of the recording medium; a second conveyance unit that is located upstream of the first conveyance unit in the conveying direction and conveys the recording medium having reached a predetermined conveyance route; and a preventing or avoiding unit that, in the recording medium which is conveyed by the first conveyance unit and whose upstream end in the conveying direction has not passed the predetermined conveyance route, prevents or avoids a portion overlapped with the cutting member in the conveying direction from being pulled by the second conveyance unit.
