An image recording apparatus includes a housing in which a conveying path is formed, a feed tray insertable into and removable from the housing and including an accommodating portion configured to accommodate sheet media in a stacked state, an image recording unit configured to record an image on one of the sheet media in the conveying path, a guide member provided at a facing portion of the housing which faces an end portion of the feed tray inserted into the housing, and configured to guide one of the sheet media in the accommodating portion to the conveying path, and a separator pivotally provided at the facing portion of the housing and configured to separate the sheet media guided by the guide member one by one.

An image forming apparatus has an apparatus main body, a sheet conveyance passage, a cover member, a conveyance unit, a sheet tray, a first sheet feeding portion, and a feed unit. The sheet conveyance passage is inside the apparatus main body. The conveyance unit is inside the cover member and is supported to be pivotable between an open position and a closed position. The first sheet feeding portion has a feed unit. The conveyance unit has a swing guide of which a lower end part is swingably supported on the apparatus main body and which, in the closed position, is located in a first position to face the feed unit and constitute part of the sheet conveyance passage and, in the open position, is located in a second position to be located away from the feed unit.

A recording material transport device including a transport section that transports a recording material and a support member disposed to extend in a direction intersecting with a vertical direction, and supporting the recording material from below with the transport stopped, in which the support member is provided to be capable of descending, and, as the support member descends, both of one end portion and the other end portion in the direction intersecting with the vertical direction descend and are inclined such that the one end portion is positioned below the other end portion.

A sheet storage apparatus includes an apparatus body, a sheet storage portion attachable/detachable to/from the apparatus body, a regulating portion to regulate a position of an end portion of the sheet stored in the storage portion, a cam member slidably movable by interlocking with a movement of the regulating portion, and a slide member supported on the apparatus body and slidably movable by engaging with the cam member in a case where the storage portion is attached to the apparatus body. A sensor includes a moving portion supported on the apparatus body and movable by engaging with the slide member, and a variable resistor, supported on the apparatus body, whose resistance value varies in response to a position of the moving portion in the second direction. The sensor outputs a detection value that varies in response to the resistance value of the variable resistor.

A method of managing removable mechanical modifications to one or more printing devices, including receiving, by one or more computer processors, an input related to a removable mechanical modification of a printing device of the one or more printing devices, and determining, by the one or more computer processors, a location of the removable mechanical modification.

In some examples, the disclosure describes a device that includes a first media tray positioned at a media input of a pick and separation mechanism, a second media tray positioned at the media input of the pick and separation mechanism, a media scan guide to position a sheet of print media at the media input of the pick and separation mechanism, a shared media path comprising a turn roller to receive the sheet of print media from the pick and separation mechanism from a first direction and provide the sheet of print media to a print zone in a second direction, and an output zone to receive the sheet of print media from the shared media path.

A sheet cassette includes a sheet mounting unit, a first side guide, a second side guide, and a biasing unit. The first side guide comes into contact with the sheet at one end in a sheet width direction. The sheet width direction is a direction perpendicular to a sheet conveying direction in which the sheet is conveyed out from the sheet mounting unit. The sheet width direction is parallel to the mounting surface . The second side guide comes into contact with the sheet at the other end in the sheet width direction. The biasing unit has a biasing member. The biasing member biases at least the first side guide in a direction approaching the second side guide. The first side guide can rotate around a rotation shaft intersecting the mounting surface in a direction in which the first side guide approaches and separates from the second side guide.

A device with a cover includes a cover that is provided at an apparatus body, an opening and closing cover that is provided at the apparatus body to be adjacent to the cover in a state where a gap with the cover is provided, that is opened and closed by rotating around a shaft portion arranged on an inside with respect to a portion of the opening and closing cover on a cover side, and that is adjacent to the cover on a shaft portion side, and an overhanging portion that is formed at an end portion of the opening and closing cover on the cover side and in which an end portion on the inside overhangs from an end portion on an outside to the cover side in a range of a rotation trajectory having a largest radius formed at the end portion on the cover side with the shaft portion as a rotation center.
