Abstract

In a sheet member conveying apparatus having a roller for conveying a sheet member, a motor for driving the roller, a driving transmitter for transmitting a driving force of the motor to the roller, and a detector for detecting position and speed of the roller, control is executed by a step of detecting a periodic speed or torque change of the roller as a period profile, a step of judging a specific phase angle in the period profile as an origin, a step of correlating an offset phase angle having a specific offset from the origin with an optimal suspension phase angle on the period profile, which is a phase angle to suspend the roller, and a step of controlling the suspension phase angle on the period profile at which the roller is suspended to become optimal, thereby suppressing an influence by torque and speed changes of the motor.
