An image reading apparatus includes an image sensor, a document feeder, and a processor. The document feeder includes a first driving device, a second driving device, a third driving device, a first sensor, and a second sensor. The first driving device includes a pick-up member to move documents from a tray to a document conveying path using a driving force through a first clutch. The second driving device is to move the tray with the documents to a side of the pick-up member using a driving force through a second clutch. The third driving device to move the documents along the document conveying path onto the image sensor using the driving force of the motor The first and second sensors detect the documents on the document conveying path. The processor controls an operation of the first clutch based on the signals of the first and second sensors.

An image reading apparatus includes a first medium support section, a casing, a reading unit, and a posture switching section. The first medium support section supports a medium to be fed. The casing includes a reading unit that performs reading on the medium fed from the first medium support section. The reading unit performs reading on the medium fed from the medium support section. The posture switching section is configured to switch between a first posture in which the casing is inclined obliquely and a second posture in which the casing is inclined with respect to a horizontal direction more than in the first posture. An upper face of the casing is configured to be utilized as a second medium support section that is configured to mount the medium when the casing is in the second posture.

A printing apparatus includes: a conveyor; an image recording device configured to record an image on a printing medium conveyed in a conveyance direction by the conveyor; a divider provided downstream of the image recording device in the conveyance direction and configured to divide the printing medium; a detector provided upstream of the divider in the conveyance direction and configured to detect a trailing end portion of the printing medium; and a controller causing the printing apparatus to: calculate a dividing position of the printing medium based on a length of the printing medium that is grasped by detecting the trailing end portion by the detector; convey the printing medium in a reverse direction by the conveyor to move the dividing position to a position of the divider; and divide the printing medium at the dividing position by the divider.

A recording apparatus includes: an apparatus main body having a recording unit that performs recording onto a recording medium; and a document reading mechanism unit having a reading unit that reads a document and a document transport unit that transports a document to the reading unit, the document reading mechanism unit being provided in an upper part of the apparatus main body, wherein the apparatus main body includes: a feed roller that feeds the recording medium toward the front of the apparatus; and a frame having a frame surface intersecting the horizontal direction, the frame being located between the feed roller and the recording unit in an apparatus depth direction, and a part of the document reading mechanism unit overlaps the feed roller in the apparatus depth direction, and overlaps the frame in the vertical direction.

An image reading apparatus includes a document transport path along which a document is transported, a feeding roller that is provided on the document transport path and that feeds the document, and a reader that is provided downstream of the feeding roller in the document transport path and that reads the document, in which a main board on which electronic components are mounted, when viewed from a width direction, which is a direction intersecting a document transport direction, is disposed in a region between the document transport path and a feeding roller tangent line, which is a straight line parallel to the document transport path and which is in contact with the feeding roller at a position separated from the document transport path. In addition, the main board may be provided in an orientation along the document transport path.

A printer includes a restrictor that is configured to switch between a restricted state that restricts a scanner unit from pivoting in an opening direction from a closed state in which the scanner unit is closed with respect to the casing, and a free state that allows the scanner unit to pivot in the opening direction from the closed state, and that enters the restricted state when the panel unit is set to a first orientation and enters the free state when the panel unit in the first orientation pivots by a predetermined angle to be in a second orientation.

An image reading apparatus includes a support section in contact with a mounting surface on which the apparatus is mounted, an apparatus body including a reader, the apparatus body, and a position holding section. The position of the apparatus body can be switched between a first position in which the apparatus body is not in use and a second position in which the apparatus body reads a document using the reader, and in which a projected area of the apparatus body on the mounting surface is larger than that in the first position, and the center of gravity of the apparatus body is lower than or equal to a rotation axis center of the apparatus body in a vertical direction viewed in a rotation axis direction of the apparatus body when the apparatus body is in the first position or in the second position.

A document supporting portion includes a first supporting portion and a second supporting portion. The first supporting portion has a first supporting surface that supports a document. The second supporting portion has a second supporting surface that supports the document together with the first supporting surface and provided so as to be slidable between a first position at which the second supporting portion located above the first supporting portion and a second position at which the second supporting surface supports the document together with the first supporting surface. In a state where the second supporting portion is located at the first position, the second supporting surface constitutes a portion of an upper surface of the document feeding apparatus.

A printing device includes a first accommodating unit, an image-recording unit, a cutting unit, and a second accommodating unit. The first accommodating unit is configured to accommodate a printing medium therein. The printing medium is conveyed in a first conveying direction along a first conveying path. The cutting unit is configured to cut the printing medium to separate the printing medium into a first printing medium and a second printing medium. The second accommodating unit is configured to accommodate therein the second printing medium which has is produced by cutting the printing medium by the cutting unit. A length of the second accommodating unit in a printing medium conveying direction is shorter than a length of the first accommodating unit in the printing medium conveying direction. The second printing medium is conveyed to the second accommodating unit in a second conveying direction along a second conveying path.
