Abstract
A backlash correction device of this invention has a motor, a gear transmitting a moving force from the motor to a paper feed base, a spring urging the paper feed base to one of forward and backward movement directions of the paper feed base using an urging force, and a controller. (1) If the paper feed base is moved in an opposite direction to an urging direction of the spring, the controller drives the motor in a movement direction of the paper feed base by a predetermined movement quantity. (2) If the paper feed base is moved in a same direction as the urging direction of the spring, the controller (2-1) drives the motor in a movement direction of the paper feed base by a movement quantity which is the sum of the predetermined movement quantity and a correction quantity equal to or greater than a maximum backlash quantity, and (2-2) then drives the motor in an opposite direction by the correction quantity.
