RECORDING APPARATUS AND TRANSPORTING CONTROL METHOD IN RECORDING APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A recording apparatus for performing recording on a medium, comprising:
- a transporting unit which transports the medium;
a recording unit which performs the recording on the transported medium;
a control unit which controls the transporting unit and the recording unit; and
a detection unit which detects presence or absence of the medium at a predetermined position in a transporting path,wherein, during or after the transporting of the medium, after the detection unit detects medium absence if the detection unit detects medium presence during an interval until the transporting for a regulated distance, which is set as a value of a diameter or more of a hole provided to the medium, is finished, the control unit determines erroneous operation and performs a predetermined process so as to remove the erroneous operation state;
if the transporting for the regulated distance is finished without detection of the medium presence by the detection unit during the transporting for regulated distance, the control unit does not perform the predetermined process; and
in the case where the predetermined process is performed, during or after the transporting, if the detection unit detects the medium absence, the control unit repeats the transporting for the regulated distance and the predetermined process, which is to be performed when the detection unit detects the medium presence during the transporting for the regulated distance, until the transporting is finished without detection of the medium presence by the detection unit during the transporting for the regulated distance.

Abstract
Provided is a recording apparatus for performing recording on a medium, including: a transporting unit which transports the medium; a recording unit which performs the recording on the transported medium; a control unit which controls the transporting unit and the recording unit; and a detection unit which detects presence or absence of the medium at a predetermined position in a transporting path, wherein, during or after the transporting of the medium, after the detection unit detects medium absence if the detection unit detects medium presence during an interval until the transporting for a regulated distance, which is set as a value of a diameter or more of a hole provided to the medium, is finished, the control unit determines erroneous operation and performs a predetermined process so as to remove the erroneous operation state.

7. A recording apparatus for performing recording on a medium, comprising:
-
a transporting unit which transports the medium; a recording unit which performs the recording on the transported medium; a control unit which controls the transporting unit and the recording unit; and a detection unit which detects presence or absence of the medium at a predetermined position in a transporting path, wherein, during or after the transporting of the medium, if the detection unit detects medium absence, the control unit further performs the transporting of a regulated distance, which is set as a value of a diameter or more of a hole provided to the medium;
after the transporting of the regulated distance, the control unit determines the presence or absence of the medium based on a result of the detection of the detection unit;
if the medium presence is determined, the control unit determines an erroneous operation and performs a predetermined process so as to remove the erroneous operation state;
if the medium absence is determined, the control unit does not perform the predetermined process; and
in the case where the predetermined process is performed, during or after the transporting, if the detection unit detects the medium absence, the control unit repeats the transporting of the regulated distance, the determination of the presence or absence of the medium after the transporting, and the predetermined process, which is to be performed when the result of the determination is the medium presence, until the result of the determination is the medium absence.

8. A transporting control method in a recording apparatus having a detection unit capable of detecting presence or absence of a medium at a predetermined position in a transporting path, comprising:
-
performing transporting for a regulated distance, which is set as a value of a diameter or more of a hole provided to the medium during or after transporting of the medium, after the detection unit detects the medium absence; performing a predetermined process of removing an erroneous operation state if the detection unit detects the medium presence during the transporting for the regulated distance, where even a normal operation, in the case where the detection of the medium absence is based on passing of the end of the medium through a predetermined position, becomes an erroneous operation in the case where the detection of the medium absence is based on detection of the hole, and wherein the predetermined process is not performed in the case where the transporting for the regulated distance is finished without detection of the medium presence by the detection unit during the transporting for the regulated distance, wherein in the case of performing the predetermined process, during or after the transporting, the performing the transporting for the regulated distance and the performing the predetermined process are repeated until the transporting for the regulated distance is finished without detection of the medium presence by the detection unit during the transporting for the regulated distance in the performing the predetermined process.
