Function Indicators TRIZ Cases

A movable roller adjusts position to accommodate varying media thicknesses while a fixed tensioner maintains constant belt force.

A printer controller feeds sheets to a guide position using position detection signals.

Dynamic air blowing reduces sheet friction based on image ratio, suppressing discharge defects in high-ratio prints.

A control unit stores setting values for paper feed units based on paper types to automatically update settings across multiple trays.

A sound jam detector analyzes acoustic signals to identify paper jams within a conveying path.

An adjustable connecting rod with axial limit grooves and a positioning pin resolves insufficient tension from short rolls or mounting failures from long rolls.

A medium wind-up apparatus adjusts motor torque limits based on detected rotation speed to maintain tension.

Sensing means detects print sheet thickness to shift discharge wings, maintaining a U-shape curl that prevents smearing and misalignment of varying sheets.

A printing apparatus uses detection mechanisms to monitor sheet stack heights on multiple trays for controlled discharge management.

A stacking device regulating member uses engaging portions to set precise sheet end positions.

A transport mechanism uses a trigger component to detect flexible object deviation from the path.

A sheet sorting apparatus adjusts discharge to a lower tray when an upper tray is removed.

Automatic tray switching redirects print jobs to alternative media trays when misfeeds occur, maintaining continuous operation.

A sheet discharger routes sheets through a bypass path when a jam occurs, reducing labor by separating properly printed sheets from the main conveyance line.
