MEDIA TRANSPORT WITH MEDIA ROLLERS OF DIFFERING DIAMETERS

In one example in accordance with the present disclosure a media transport device is described. The device includes a number of drive rollers coupled to a frame. A number of media rollers are also coupled to the frame. The media rollers are in contact with, and rotated by, the number of drive rollers. Media rollers in a first set have a first diameter and media rollers in a second set have a second diameter that is different from the first diameter. The device also includes a number of pinch rollers coupled to the frame. The pinch rollers are in contact with the number of media rollers to form a number of nips through which media passes along a feed path.

A cutting device is configured to cut, in an arc shape, an end of a sheet conveyed in a conveyance direction. The cutting device includes an arc-shaped cutting blade; a switching mechanism; and a contact-and-separation mechanism. The switching mechanism is configured to switch a posture of the cutting blade in accordance with a position of the sheet facing the cutting blade. The contact-and-separation mechanism is configured to bring the cutting blade into contact with the sheet in a contact direction orthogonal to a surface of the sheet and away from the sheet in a separation direction opposite the contact direction, to cut the end of the sheet in the arc shape.

RECORDING SYSTEM
20230022668 · 2023-01-26 ·

A recording system includes a printer, a post-processing apparatus, and a first support to be mounted on a floor outside a mounting area of the printer. The printer includes a manual feed tray and an opening/closing portion each configured to be moved outward from a body of the printer to enable a process. The post-processing apparatus is located, in a Z direction, above the manual feed tray and the opening/closing portion that were moved. The first support supports the post-processing apparatus and forms a space in which the manual feed tray and the opening/closing portion are moved.
