Abstract:
A transport control method for use in transporting a medium in a predetermined direction by an upstream drive roller and a downstream drive roller, to operate the downstream drive roller by using PID control based on a detection value of a tension sensor disposed downstream of the upstream drive roller and upstream of the downstream drive roller for detecting tension. The transport control method includes a stable state determining step for determining, at time of the operation, whether a difference between the detection value of the tension sensors and a target value is within a stable width to make a stable state which maintains a stability time; and a gain decreasing step for decreasing a gain of the PID control to be less than an initial value when the difference is determined to be in the stable state.

Claim (Index 13):
The transport apparatus according to  claim 11 , wherein the gain adjusting unit increases the gain when, after the gain adjusting unit decreased the gain, the stable state determining unit determines that the difference has deviated from the stable width, or although within the stable width, is in a nonstable state incapable of maintaining the stability time.
