Abstract
A conveyance control unit is provided with a conveyance request unit configured to transmit a conveyance request signal to a paper conveyance device at a conveyance request timing corresponding to a processing cycle of a downstream paper processing device, a passage information reception unit configured to receive a paper passage signal indicating that paper has been sent out from the paper conveyance device, and the determination unit configured to determine whether a conveyance delay has occurred based on timing when the paper passage signal was received. The conveyance request unit is configured to transmit the conveyance request signal at the conveyance request timing corresponding to the next processing cycle when it is determined that a conveyance delay has not occurred, and the conveyance request unit is configured not to transmit the conveyance request signal at the conveyance request timing corresponding to the next processing cycle when it is determined that a conveyance delay has occurred.
