IMAGE RECORDING APPARATUS
An upper supply tray is mounted at an upper mount position in a housing. A lower supply tray is mounted at a lower mount position lower than the upper mount position in the housing. A first print engine records an image on a sheet conveyed from the upper supply tray. A second print engine records an image on a sheet conveyed from the lower supply tray. A lower discharge tray supports the sheet on which the image is recorded by the first print engine. An upper discharge tray supports the sheet on which the image is recorded by the second print engine. The upper discharge tray is located at a higher position than the lower discharge tray. A first display displays at least: a first correspondence between the lower discharge tray and the upper supply tray; or a second correspondence between the upper discharge tray and the lower supply tray.

INKJET RECORDING DEVICE
An inkjet recording device allows a recording medium to be set easily, and prevents the recording medium from being warped so that printing quality is not lowered. An inkjet printer includes a bed including a surface that supports a recording medium, and a pivoting device that pivots the bed around a horizontal axis to locate the bed horizontally or vertically or pivots the bed around the horizontal axis to incline the bed with respect to a horizontal plane. The inkjet printer also includes a pair of guide rails provided on the bed and extending in an X direction and a movable member extending in a Y direction, engaged with the pair of guide rails and slidable on the pair of guide rails to move in the X direction.

Post-processing device and printing system
A post-processing device includes an intermediate tray on which a medium transported in a transport direction is placed, a discharge port through which the medium post-processed on the intermediate tray is discharged, a discharge tray which is disposed in a gravity direction with respect to the discharge port and on which the medium discharged from the discharge port is placed, and an elevating mechanism which elevates the discharge tray, in which the elevating mechanism can move the discharge tray to a first normal position and a first standby position positioned in a direction opposite to the gravity direction with respect to the first normal position, and moves the discharge tray to the first normal position or the first standby position according to an amount of ink before the medium comes in contact with the discharge tray or the medium previously placed on the discharge tray.

Removable media tray having a high latching force and a low opening force
A removable media tray assembly for an image forming device according to one embodiment includes a media tray having a bottom surface and a front wall extending upward from the bottom surface. A bottom surface defines a media storage location for storing a stack of media sheets. The assembly includes a housing having an opening therein to receive the media tray. A magnet and a plate provide a latching force FL greater than a pick motor stall force keeping the media tray in a closed position during media picking. A handle assembly including a finger bar and a pivoting link is mounted to the front wall. With the media tray being held closed by the latching force, a user-supplied actuation force FA that is less than 22.2 N applied to the finger bar, pivots the link which acts as a force multiplier providing a release force exceeding the latching force.
PRINTING APPARATUS AND MEDIUM SUPPORT METHOD
Provided is a printing apparatus that includes a support unit which has a support surface for supporting a medium and moves in a movement direction, and a print unit configured to perform printing on the medium supported by the support unit. The support surface includes a first side and a second side that is shorter in length than the first side and extends in a direction intersecting with the first side. The support unit can be displaced to be in a first state where the first side is so arranged as to be along the movement direction and in a second state where the first side is so arranged as to be along a direction intersecting with the movement direction.
Recording material feeding device
A recording material feeding device includes a stacking portion, a driving source, a holding member, a torque limiter for limiting transmission of a driving torque from the driving source to the stacking portion in a case that the driving source rotates in a state in which the holding member holds the position of the stacking portion; a storing portion for storing information on a holding state of the holding member; and a controller for controlling the driving source to rotate at a rotational speed slower when the information is information indicating that the holding member holds the position of the stacking portion than when the information is information indicating that the holding member does not hold the position of the stacking portion.
