Abstract
An erasing apparatus of an embodiment includes a reading unit, a printing unit, a transport unit, and a control unit. The reading unit reads an image formed on a sheet. The printing unit includes a plurality of nozzles that output colorants, and prints any one of a mark that is defined in advance or a code image of a machine-readable format on the sheet. The transport unit transports the sheet in order of the reading unit and the printing unit. The control unit detects an amount of deviation of the sheet generated on a transport path based on the image on the sheet which is read by the reading unit, selects which nozzle in the printing unit to output the colorant based on the amount of deviation, and controls the printing unit so as to perform printing from the selected nozzle.
