20110195828 | MEDIUM TRANSPORTING ROLLER AND RECORDING DEVICE - In a recording device which performs recording on a recording medium, a transport driving roller which carries out transporting of the recording medium as a medium transport roller is formed by processing a plate member into a cylindrical shape. A bonding portion where the pair of edge portions of the plate material are bonded has a transport region, which is a region where at least the recording medium comes into contact with, extends in a straight line shape in a direction which intersects a circumference line. | 08-11-2011 |
20110267413 | MEDIUM TRANSPORT ROLLER, RECORDING APPARATUS, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING MEDIUM TRANSPORT ROLLER - In a recording apparatus that performs the recording on a medium to be recorded, a transport driving roller as a medium transport roller taking charge of the transportation of the medium to be recorded is formed by machining a plate material in a cylindrical shape. On its outer peripheral surface, in a transport region adjoining a piece of paper, through holes are formed to penetrate in a thickness direction of a hollow shaft. Thus paper powder attached to the paper is introduced from the through hole into the inner portion of the hollow shaft and is discharged through the hole to a lower portion of the hollow shaft. Consequently, it is possible to prevent the paper powder from being reattached or scattered to the paper without separately providing a special component, thus preventing or suppressing the paper powder from being attached to the recording head. | 11-03-2011 |
20110316224 | RECORDING APPARATUS - A recording apparatus includes a slider that has a cam face with which a cam of the stopper comes into sliding contact and moves in the insertion direction from a first position to a second position with a resistance when the cassette is inserted into the mounting unit. The cam face includes a first cam face on which the cam slides when the slider moves from the first position to the second position and a press cam face against which the cam presses when the paper sheet comes into contact with the stopper. The press cam face has an inclination relative to a reference straight line which is perpendicular to a plane parallel to the insertion direction of the cassette which is greater than that relative to a straight line which extends from the contact point between the press cam face and the cam to the shaft. | 12-29-2011 |
20130222504 | RECORDING APPARATUS - A printer includes a configuration, in which a paper is delivered between a recording head which is positioned upwards from a tray and a support member, and the recording is performed, and then the paper is discharged towards a discharged-paper receiving tray. The discharged-paper receiving tray is configured such that a relief section is formed to avoid an arrangement region of an oscillation member configuring a feeding unit upstream thereof, and the oscillation member is able to oscillate inside the relief section. | 08-29-2013 |
20130257960 | RECORDING APPARATUS - A discharged sheet reception tray is displaced between a most protruded position which protrudes most and an accommodation position which is accommodated inside an apparatus. Since a control unit switches the positions of the discharged sheet reception tray depending on a length of a sheet to be discharged, taking the sheet from the discharged sheet reception tray is easily improved. Specifically, since a drive unit driving the discharged sheet reception tray is controlled so that a leading edge of the discharged sheet protrudes by a predetermined amount from the discharged sheet reception tray, it is possible to easily take the sheet from the discharged sheet reception tray by picking up the leading edge of the sheet. | 10-03-2013 |
20130258416 | RECORDING APPARATUS - A recording apparatus includes a recording unit that performs a recording operation on a medium, a discharge unit that discharges the medium that has undergone the recording operation by the recording unit, a medium receiving tray that receives the medium discharged from the discharge unit, the medium receiving tray being shiftable between a first state in which the medium receiving tray is drawn out in a medium discharge direction and a second state in which the medium receiving tray is retracted in a direction opposite to the medium discharge direction, and a blocking mechanism configured to be engaged with the trailing edge of the medium while the medium receiving tray is shifted from the first state to the second state, and to restrict the medium from being drawn inside. | 10-03-2013 |

The recording unit includes a flexible ink tube through which ink from an ink tank is supplied to the head unit, and a control unit that controls the head unit, according to a state of a press-down switch provided on the top portion of the recording unit, so as to perform recording on a medium when a pressed state of the switch is detected and not to perform the recording when an unpressed state of the switch is detected. The switch enters the pressed state when a gap that allows the ink tube to pass therethrough is formed between the recording unit and the scanner unit, the gap having a size that at least prevents an ink flow path in the ink tube from being blocked. | 02-13-2014 |
