In an example, a media catcher may include a first frame member and a second frame member spaced away from the first frame member along a lateral direction, thereby defining a catcher width of the media catcher. Additionally, the media catcher may also include a device interface disposed at a top end of the first frame member or the second frame member. The device interface may attach the media catcher to an imaging device. The media catcher may further include a catch panel extending between the first frame member and the second frame member to catch and support media.

A recording apparatus includes a recording unit configured to perform recording on a recording medium that is a long medium, a supporting part disposed opposite to the recording unit and configured to support the recording medium, a cutting part configured to cut the long medium into a single sheet medium, a guide member configured to guide the recording medium, a winding unit configured to wind up the long medium, and a medium housing unit configured to be detachable and house the single sheet medium. The guide member is displaceable to a first supporting position in which the guide member supports the recording medium being conveyed to the medium housing unit and a second supporting position in which the guide member supports the long medium being conveyed to the winding unit, the second supporting position being located above the first supporting position.

A printer extension kit that modifies a printer to receive and output longer pieces of paper. The printer extension kit includes an input extension part, an output extension part, and an output extension clip. The paper tray of a printer is extended by the input extension part allowing the printer to hold longer pieces of paper. The input extension part is attached to the paper tray of a printer. The output extension part allows a printer to output longer pieces of paper. In more detail, the output extension part prevents longer pieces of paper from falling of the catch tray of a printer. The output extension part is attached into the catch tray of a printer. The output extension clip provides another means for a printer to output longer pieces of paper. In more detail, the output extension clip is attached along the output paper catch of a printer.

A recording apparatus includes: a medium receiving tray that is switchable between a housed state of being retracted inside apparatus body that includes a recording unit and a protruding state of protruding from the apparatus body relative to the housed state; a power source that switches the medium receiving tray between the housed state and the protruding state; and a medium detection unit that detects whether there is the medium on the medium receiving tray or not. When an error is detected during execution of a recording job, a control unit, which controls the power source based on detection information of the medium detection unit, determines whether there is the medium on the medium receiving tray or not. When the control unit determines that there is no medium on the medium receiving tray, the control unit switches the medium receiving tray into the housed state.

A recording apparatus includes a recording unit configured to perform recording on a medium, a sheet ejection unit configured to eject the medium after the recording, a loading unit configured to load the ejected medium, a first contact member configured to make contact with a position of an upstream end of the medium in an ejection direction and operate in conjunction with a displacement of a load amount of the medium, a second contact member configured to make contact with a downstream position of the medium in the ejection direction with respect to the first contact member and operate in conjunction with the displacement of the load amount of the medium, one detection auxiliary member configured to make a displacement in conjunction with a displacement of the first contact member and the second contact member, and a detection unit configured to detect the displacement of the detection auxiliary member.

An image forming apparatus includes a printing device, a rotator, an upstream support stand. The printing device prints an image on a plate-shaped printing medium. The rotator rotates while nipping the plate-shaped printing medium and conveys the plate-shaped printing medium to the printing device. The upstream support stand supports the plate-shaped printing medium at a position upstream from the rotator in a conveyance direction of the plate-shaped printing medium and includes a mount. The mount is detachably attached to the rotator.

A recording device as a processing device includes: a recording unit accommodated in a housing and configured to perform recording on a medium; and a medium accommodating unit that accommodates the medium discharged from the housing. The medium accommodating unit includes: a sheet-shaped accommodating member; a rotating shaft provided inside the housing and to which one end of the accommodating member is connected; and an operating portion provided separably from the housing and to which the other end of the accommodating member is connected. The accommodating member is wound around the rotating shaft and accommodated inside the housing when the operating portion is mounted on the housing. The accommodating member is fed from the rotating shaft so that the medium is accommodated when the operating portion is separated from the housing.

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit, a casing, a sheet discharge unit, a sheet supporting portion, an operation unit, a supporting unit, and a regulating portion. The supporting unit supports the operation unit such that, when the display surface is tilted with respect to a horizontal direction, an end on a lower side of the operation unit is positioned below a second virtual straight line. The regulating portion is disposed between the operation unit and the sheet supporting portion in the vertical direction. The regulating portion is disposed such that at least a part of the regulating portion overlaps the operation unit and the supporting surface in a width direction. The regulating portion is disposed to intersect with the second virtual straight line. The regulating portion is configured to regulate an obliquely upward movement of a recording material discharged by the sheet discharge unit.

A printer includes a vertical type main body accommodating a printing portion that prints an image onto a print medium transported along a vertically oriented printing path, including an outlet through which the print medium is discharged. A depth of the main body may be less than a width and a height of the main body. The printer may further include a stand supporting the main body such that the main body is rotatable forward and backward, a discharge guide mounted to the main body to be rotatable in a vertical direction and guiding the print medium discharged from the outlet forward, and an elastic member applying an elastic force to the discharge guide in a direction in which the discharge guide is rotated upward.

A printer includes a main body casing, a supply portion, and a recessed portion. The main body casing has a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, and a third surface connecting the first and second surfaces. The main body casing can be placed on a flat surface with the first surface in contact with the flat surface. The supply portion and the recessed portion are provided at the first surface. Through the supply portion, a medium is supplied into the main body casing. The recessed portion is recessed toward the second surface a depth not less than the thickness of the medium. The recessed portion extends from the third surface to the supply portion in a first direction and extends in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. The length of the recessed portion in the second direction is greater than the width of the medium.
