To explore the relationship between the deformation of the rubber roller and sheet transport velocity, the deformation of the surface of the rubber roller was measured by using optical coherence tomography (OCT), and the effect of the deformation on the sheet transport velocity was studied based on the measurement results. Measurement results showed that the deformation of the surface of the rubber roller was different when the sheet was transported and when it was not, and the surface of the rubber roller in the nip section was first compressed and then extended in the case of sheet transportation. The variation of the deformation is considered caused by the incompressibility of the rubber. It is considered that the sheet transport velocity was influenced by this variation of the deformation of the surface of the rubber roller.
