  The plurality of aging rollers 46 are also used when the second continuous paper P2 is sent out from a paper feeding unit (not shown). Further, the main tractors 16A and 16B and the subtractor 18 are configured such that when the second continuous paper P2 is conveyed, the drive tractor belt 64 is retracted to the outside by the holder portion 72, and the scuff flora portion 26 is in a sandwiched state. It is configured to be released.

  As described above, the transport mechanism that transports the second continuous paper P <b> 2 includes the drive roller unit 30, the side guide unit 36, and the age roller 46.

  Here, the configuration that enables the tilt adjustment of the drive roller unit 30 and the side guide unit 36 based on the positions of the tractor pins 74 of the main tractors 16A and 16B and the sub tractor 18 will be described.

  The drive roller unit 30 is provided with an adjustment pin 40 that can be engaged with the feed hole 73 of the second continuous paper P2 as an adjustment sheet. As an example, as shown in FIG. 3A, the adjustment pins 40 are provided at both ends in the width direction of the bottom plate 31 </ b> B of the frame 31 on which the drive roller 32 is pivotally supported. ) Are arranged (four in this embodiment). Similarly to the tractor pins 74, the adjustment pins 40 are provided at equal intervals, and the second continuous paper P2 as an adjustment sheet can be attached to the adjustment pins 40.

  Further, the adjustment pin 40 is provided at the position of the bottom plate 31B where the second continuous paper P2 to be conveyed does not contact when the drive roller unit 30 conveys the second continuous paper P2. Thereby, the adjustment pin 40 does not interfere with the conveyance of the second continuous paper P2.

  Further, as another example, the adjustment pin 40 is replaced by a rotation direction of the drive roller 32 (paper conveyance) at both ends in the axial direction of the drive roller 32 as shown in FIG. (Direction) may be provided so as to be removable. In this configuration, the adjustment pin 40 can be removed after the tilt adjustment, so that it does not interfere with the conveyance of the second continuous paper P2.

  The frame 31 is provided with a screwing portion (not shown) that is fixed to the stacker housing 14 at the position after the tilt adjustment.

  The side guide unit 36 is provided with an adjustment pin 80 that can be engaged with the feed hole 73 of the second continuous paper P2 as an adjustment sheet. As an example, as shown in FIG. 4B, the adjustment pin 80 is downstream of the outer peripheral surface of the R guide portion 48 in the sheet conveyance direction and at both ends in the width direction along the desired sheet conveyance direction. A plurality (three in this embodiment) are detachably provided.

  The frame of the side guide unit 36 is provided with a screwing portion (not shown) that is fixed to the engine housing 12 at the position after the inclination adjustment.

  Next, an adjustment method for adjusting the inclination of the drive roller unit 30 and the side guide unit 36 will be described.

  In the adjustment of the drive roller unit 30, as shown in FIG. 5, the one end side in the longitudinal direction of the first continuous paper P1 as an adjustment sheet is attached to the tractor pin 74 of the main tractor 16A, and the other of the first continuous paper P1. The end side is attached to the adjustment pin 40 provided on the bottom plate 31 </ b> B of the drive roller unit 30.

  In view of the slackness of the loaded first continuous paper, the drive roller unit 30 is located where there is no slack in the first continuous paper, that is, where the arrangement direction of the adjustment pins 40 coincides with the arrangement direction of the tractor pins 74. The frame 31 is fixed to the stacker housing 14 and the inclination of the drive roller unit 30 with respect to a predetermined sheet conveyance direction is adjusted.

  As described above, the adjustment roller 40 is provided with the adjustment pin 40, and the tractor pin 74 used for transporting the first continuous paper P1 is also used for adjusting the inclination of the drive roller 30 to thereby adjust the adjustment sheet. The first continuous paper P1 is attached to the tractor pin 74 and the adjustment pin 40 so that the inclination can be adjusted.

  For this reason, a large special tool or measuring instrument is not required, and since the adjustment is performed based on the position (arrangement direction) of the tractor pin 74, the adjustment is easy and the drive roller unit 30 can be adjusted even at the site where the apparatus is installed. Tilt adjustment can be simplified.

  The main tractors 16A and 16B are adjusted in advance with respect to the transfer position T (transfer guide 23), and are provided in the same engine housing 12 as the photoconductive drum 20 in the vicinity of the photoconductive drum 20. Even when the device housing is assembled at the site where the device is installed, it is difficult to tilt. Since the first continuous paper P1 as an adjustment sheet is mounted on the tractor pin 74 of the main tractor 16A and the position is adjusted based on the position of the tractor pin 74, the inclination of the drive roller unit 30 is small.

  Therefore, the second continuous paper P2 is transported in a predetermined paper transport direction, the toner image is transferred to a desired position on the second continuous paper P2, and print skew is unlikely to occur.

  In the adjustment of the side guide unit 36, as shown in FIG. 6, one end side in the longitudinal direction of the first continuous paper P1 as an adjustment sheet is attached to the tractor pin 74 of the sub tractor 18, and the other one of the first continuous paper P1. The end side is attached to the adjustment pin 80 provided in the R guide portion 48 of the side guide unit 36.

  Similar to the adjustment of the drive roller unit 30, when the slackness of the first continuous paper loaded is observed, the first continuous paper is not slack, that is, the arrangement direction of the adjustment pin 80 is the tractor pin 74. The frame 31 of the side guide unit 36 is fixed to the engine housing 12 at a position coincident with the arrangement direction, and the inclination of the side guide unit 36 with respect to a predetermined sheet conveyance direction is adjusted.

  For this reason, as in the case of adjustment of the drive roller unit 30, a large special tool or measuring instrument is not required, and adjustment is easy because the adjustment is based on the position (arrangement direction) of the tractor pin 74. The tilt adjustment of the drive roller unit 30 can be simplified even at the site where the machine is installed.

  The inclination of the sub tractor 18 with respect to the main tractor 16B is adjusted in advance, and the inclination of the main tractor 16B with respect to the transfer position T (transfer guide) is adjusted. Therefore, even when the apparatus housing is assembled at the site where the apparatus is installed, the inclination with respect to the transfer guide 23 hardly changes.

  Since the first continuous paper P1 as the adjustment sheet is mounted on the tractor pin 74 of the sub tractor 18 and the adjustment is performed based on the position of the tractor pin 74, the inclination of the side guide unit 36 is also small. Therefore, the second continuous paper P2 transported to the drive roller unit 30 is corrected in a predetermined paper transport direction, and the toner image is transferred to a desired position on the second continuous paper P2, so that a print skew hardly occurs.

  In the above adjustment method, the tractor pin 74 of the main tractor 16A is used for the adjustment of the drive roller unit 30, but an adjustment sheet may be attached to the tractor pin 74 of the main tractor 16B and the sub tractor 18, In the adjustment of the side guide unit 36, the tractor pin 74 of the sub tractor 18 is used. However, an adjustment sheet may be attached to the tractor pin 74 of the main tractors 16A and 16B.

  Moreover, although the example which uses the 1st continuous paper P1 as an adjustment sheet was demonstrated in the said embodiment, it is not restricted to this, For example, the adjustment sheet of other materials, such as a rolled metal and a plastic film, can be used.

  In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the adjustment pin 40 is provided on the bottom plate of the frame 31 or the drive roller 32 has been described. However, the adjustment pin 40 can be provided at any part of the drive roller unit 30. If the inclination of the drive roller unit 30 can be adjusted, the drive roller unit 30 can be provided at an arbitrary position.

  In the above embodiment, the example in which the adjustment pin 80 is provided in the R guide portion 48 has been described. However, the adjustment pin 80 can be provided in any part of the side guide unit 36, and If tilt adjustment is possible, it can be provided at an arbitrary position.

  Further, the adjustment pin 40 and the adjustment pin 80 need not interfere with the conveyance of the second continuous paper P2, and are provided from the beginning at a position not corresponding to the second continuous paper P2, or the conveyance of the second continuous paper P2. Sometimes, when it is provided at a position not corresponding to the second continuous paper P2, it can be configured to be retractable or removable.
