Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A medium transport apparatus includes: a transport unit transporting a belt-shaped medium having plural marks formed in line at predetermined intervals in a transport direction; a detection unit detecting the marks on the medium; and a determining unit determining that a splice exists at a position on the medium if an interval of the marks detected from the medium by the detection unit differs from the predetermined intervals, the position being identified by the marks having the interval different from the predetermined intervals.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for forming an image comprising: transporting a belt-shaped medium having a plurality of marks formed along a line at predetermined intervals in a transport direction; detecting the marks on the medium and generating a mark detection error if the mark is not detected at the predetermined interval; determining if the mark detection error occurs during an expected arrival time of a splice; forming an image on the belt-shaped medium, wherein if i…
