Abstract
Rubbing noise of a paper with guides in paper-handling mechanism is getting louder now with the higher sheet feeding speed in printer or copy machine. This research deals with the paper vibration caused by sliding contact with guides. The purpose of this research is establishing a theory of rubbing noise. First, it was found that the characteristics of rubbing noise depend on state of the contact of paper and guide. Next, the influence of distance and angle from the guide of roller on rubbing noise was revealed. Finally, it was shown that volume of rubbing noise was affected by degree of inclination of guide.
