A recording apparatus includes a recording section that performs recording on a medium, a housing that houses the recording section, a tray configured to move to a loading position in which to load the medium to be subjected to recording and ejected and a stowage position in which the tray is stowed in the housing, and a switching unit that switches between an automatic mode in which to automatically move the tray to the loading position and the stowage position and a manual mode in which to manually move the tray to the loading position and the stowage position.

A printer for printing plate-like media, in particular for printing marker cards with markers for marking electrical appliances includes a housing and at least one input station for the marker cards to be printed The printer further includes a printing station with a printing device and an output station for printed marker cards. The output station has a magazining device which has one or more guide devices so that the output station, with the magazining device, can be drawn from a position pushed into the housing into a position outside the housing and can be pushed back into the housing of the printer, Each guide device also has its own stacking unit which is pivotably mounted.

A dish cart includes a top with a slot for receiving a lift arm that may be lifted up through the slot to raise or lower dishes. Lobe openings emanating from the slot receive lobes of a lift paddle secured to the lift arm. The cart may define a gap below the top for permitting insertion of the lift paddle and the lift arm. The cart may be adjusted to receive differently sized dishes by means of rails of different sizes or adjustable vanes. A dish drop station includes the lift arm and lift paddle and a lift mechanism for raising and lower the lift arm. The dish drop station may include a cart present sensor and include a lock for retaining the cart. The controller may be programmed to the lower the lift arm to an unlock position that disengages the cart lock.

A sheet tray configured to accommodate a sheet includes a first tray, a second tray directly connectable to the first tray, and a third tray directly connectable to the first tray and to the second tray in a state where the second tray is disengaged from the first tray, the third tray being made of metal. The sheet tray is configured to take a first state where the first tray is directly connected to the second tray and a second state where the third tray connects the first tray to the second tray. The sheet tray is configured to accommodate a sheet having a first size in the first state and a sheet having a second size longer than the sheet having the first size in the second state.

Disclosed is a drawing apparatus including: a base member; and a drawing member that is attached so as to be capable of being drawn and pressed in a reciprocating direction with respect to the base member, wherein the base member has a couple application mechanism that applies a couple for correcting skewing of the drawing member with respect to the reciprocating direction to the drawing member as a reaction of a force by which the drawing member is pressed, and wherein the couple application mechanism is configured so that a distance between action lines of two forces generating the couple becomes large as a pressing amount of the drawing member with respect to the base member increases.

A medium conveying apparatus includes a main body, a placement board that is movably supported by the main body, an extension member that is movably supported by the placement board, a lever that is movably supported by the placement board, and a mechanism that moves the extension member to a contraction position when the lever is located at a protrusion position, and moves the extension member to an expansion position when the lever is located at a pushed position, wherein the lever is away from an abutting portion fixed to the main body when the placement board is located between a storage position and a midway position, and the lever comes into contact with the abutting portion and moves toward the pushed position when the placement board is located between a unfolding position and the midway position and when the placement board moves toward the unfolding position.

A foldable baffle structure is mounted to a tray of a scanner or a printer. The foldable baffle structure includes two limiting components mounted to the tray. Each limiting component includes a sliding element, a stopping element, a guiding element and a pivoting element. Middles of the two sliding elements of the two limiting components have two accommodating spaces penetrating through top surfaces and bottom surfaces of the two sliding elements. The two stopping elements of the two limiting components are mounted in the accommodating spaces of the two limiting components. A middle of one end surface of the stopping element protrudes outward to form a pivoting portion. The guiding element is mounted around an outside of the pivoting portion. The pivoting element is pivotally disposed in the stopping element.

Examples of media stops and media storage trays including the media stops are disclosed. In an example, the media stop includes a base including a first end and a second end opposite the first end, a top side, and a bottom side opposite the top side. In addition, the media stop includes a stop wall extending from the top side. The base is to be slidingly coupled to a track of the support surface in a first orientation and a second orientation. When the base is in the first orientation, the first end of the base is more proximate an outer end of the support surface than the second end of the base. When the base is in the second orientation, the second end of the base is more proximate the outer end of the support surface than the first end of the base.

A document feed device including a document tray and a document guide. The document guide has a document guide side document loader and a document guide member. The document tray includes a groove. The document guide, at an end of the document guide side document loader in the width direction, includes: a scooper, and an upstream outline portion that is formed so as to gradually approach the document guide member toward an upstream side in the conveying direction with the scooper as an apex.

A printing apparatus includes a stacking portion on which a print medium printed by a printing unit configured to perform printing is stacked, a discharge unit configured to discharge the print medium printed by the printing unit to the stacking portion, a passage forming portion arranged facing the stacking portion and configured to form a discharge passage of the print medium together with the stacking portion, and an outlet port located in a downstream end of the stacking portion and a downstream end of the passage forming portion in a conveying direction of the print medium. The passage forming portion includes a take-out port through which a user can take out, from the stacking portion, the print medium printed by the printing unit.
