An image forming apparatus to control a distance between paper sheets by sensing a surface pattern of fed paper and a method of controlling the same is provided. The image forming apparatus may include a paper transport unit configured to transport paper, a paper sensing unit disposed in a transport path of the paper and configured to sense a surface pattern of the transported paper, and a controller configured to control the paper transport unit to adjust a distance between paper sheets based on a change in the sensed surface pattern of the paper.

Image forming apparatus and control method thereof

A scanner with a first driving motor and a second driving motor has an improved driving structure as transmission of a driving force from one of the first and the second driving motors to the other driving motor is inhibited, thereby preventing loss of power and increased noise and vibration. The scanner may include a first driving motor, a second driving motor, an operating unit operable to move the scanning unit and configured to operate by a driving force generated from one of the first and the second driving motors and a power transmitting unit configured to transmit the driving force generated from one of the first and the second driving motors to the operating unit while disallowing transmission of the driving force between the first and the second driving motors.
