first embodiment
[0036]FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a continuous paper feeding device as the present invention. In FIG. 1, continuous paper feeding device A is incorporated in a laser printer. The continuous paper feeding device A comprises a paper supply section 20 as a paper supply device, a feeding section 2 adapted to feed a continuous printing paper sheet 1 supplied from the paper supply section 20, a printing device 3 disposed downstream of the feeding section 2, a fusing section 4 located downstream of the printing device 3, a braking device 19 disposed upstream of the feeding section 2, a motor control section 7 for controlling a fan motor of the braking device 19, and a CPU 10 for controlling each section.
[0037] The paper supply section 20 accommodates the printing paper sheet 1 in a folded state, the paper sheet 1 having perforated lines P along which the paper sheet 1 can be cut at predetermined longitudinal intervals.
[0038] When the printing paper sheet 1 (set on the feeding sec...
second embodiment
[0066]FIG. 9 illustrates a continuous paper feeding device as the present invention. Like or corresponding parts are designated by like reference numbers throughout FIGS. 1 and 9 to avoid repetition of description thereof.
[0067] While the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is configured to set a braking force to be applied by the braking device 19 according to data input from the setting panel by the user, the embodiment shown in FIG. 9 is configured to cause the CPU to set a braking force automatically.
[0068] Specifically, continuous paper feeding device A (shown in FIG. 9) is provided with a sensor 23 for judging whether a paper sheet is passing and detecting sheet width W, a sensor 24 for detecting the distance up to a paper sheet and determining sheet thickness t based on the distance thus detected, and a sensor 25 for detecting the humidity of the atmosphere around the printer-installed site. CPU 10 establishes a braking force by making synthetic judgment from all the results output f...
third embodiment
[0071]FIG. 10 illustrates a continuous paper feeding device incorporating a braking device 39 of a different type as the present invention. Like or corresponding parts are designated by like reference numbers throughout FIGS. 1 and 10 to avoid repetition of description thereof.
[0072] The braking device 39 shown in FIG. 10 comprises a pair of braking rollers 31 and 32 located upstream of the feeding section 2 and holding printing paper sheet 1 therebetween from its obverse and reverse sides. The braking roller 31 is freely rotatable as the printing paper sheet 1 moves. The braking roller 32 is connected to an electromagnetic brake 33 for imposing a load on the braking roller 32 rotating. The electromagnetic brake 33 varies the load on the braking roller 32 according to its electromagnetic force varied by a current control circuit 43 controlling the amount of electric current.
[0073] With this arrangement, CPU 10 selects a braking force according to a set brake value established throu...
