IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
Provided is an image forming apparatus provided with a sheet accommodating member that accommodates a sheet and is capable of being inserted into and withdrawn from an apparatus main body, and the image forming apparatus includes: a moving member movably supported in the sheet accommodating member; a charge member that is charged with energy by a movement of the moving member; and a retractor that retracts the sheet accommodating member into the apparatus main body by the energy charged in the charge member, when the sheet accommodating member is inserted into the apparatus main body.
Document feeding, image reading, and image forming apparatus including slidable document supporting tray that pivots up from a second position and moves obliquely downward
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.
DOCUMENT FEEDING, IMAGE READING, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS INCLUDING SLIDABLE DOCUMENT SUPPORTING TRAY THAT PIVOTS UP FROM A SECOND POSITON AND MOVES OBLIQUELY DOWNWARD
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.
CYLINDER SCANNER
A cylinder scanner includes a base, a contact image sensor module, a first roller unit, a second roller unit and an adjusting mechanism. The contact image sensor module is mounted on a middle of an upper surface of the base for scanning a cylinder. The first roller unit is slidably disposed above the middle of the upper surface of the base. The second roller unit is slidably disposed above the middle of the upper surface of the base. The adjusting mechanism is connected between the first roller unit and the second roller unit. When the cylinder is scanned, the first roller unit and the second roller unit rotate in the same direction, the cylinder is positioned on the first roller unit and the second roller unit, so the cylinder is driven by the first roller unit and the second roller unit to rotate.
IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS WITH SLIDING KEYBOARD
An example image forming device includes a printing portion to print an image on a print medium, a protruding portion protruding upward from an upper surface of the printing portion and comprising an accommodation portion, and a keyboard movable between a storage position in which the keyboard is partially stored in the accommodation portion and a withdrawal position in which the keyboard is withdrawn from the accommodation portion. In the storage position, the keyboard is positioned inside an outermost surface of the printing portion.
Medium transport apparatus and processing apparatus
A medium transport portion includes a main body portion, a tray unit, and a support guide member. The main body portion includes a first manual feed path and a second manual feed path. The tray unit can be accommodated in the main body portion in a non-use state, and a medium is mounted thereon in a use state. The support guide member is movable in a Z-direction, and supports the tray unit such that a first position that the tray unit is positioned in the first manual feed path, a second position of being positioned in the second manual feed path, and a third position of being accommodated in the main body portion are switched.
IMAGE READING APPARATUS AND PRINTING APPARATUS
An image reading apparatus includes a feed tray on which a medium is placed, a conveyance unit configured to convey, from the feed tray, the medium placed on the feed tray, an image reading unit configured to read an image from the medium conveyed by the conveyance unit, a discharge tray to which the medium from which the image was read by the image reading unit is discharged, and a housing. The feed tray and the discharge tray are capable of being pulled out in a pull-out direction, and, according to movement of one of the feed tray and the discharge tray in the pull-out direction, the other of the feed tray and the discharge tray moves in the pull-out direction.
