The tensioner includes an oblique roller configured to guide the sheet to the first guide surface.

A printer device includes: a pair of rack gears arranged in a staircase-like shape on a paper conveyance direction side of a continuous paper accommodated in a recessed accommodation part that accommodates a roll-shaped continuous paper and having tooth rows arranged in a first direction orthogonal to the paper conveyance direction so as to face each other; a pinion gear fitted into the tooth rows; and a pair of paper guides that are respectively provided at a position of an upper rack gear that is closer to a center side in the first direction from one end portion in the first direction and a position of a lower rack gear that is closer to the center side in the first direction from another end portion in the first direction or the other end portion. The paper guide provided on the upper rack gear is mounted to an upper mounting part extending from a back surface of the upper rack gear opposite to the tooth row to the paper conveyance direction side.

A sheet stacking apparatus includes a sheet stacking unit on which sheets are stacked, a sheet regulating unit, and a cover member. The sheet regulating unit includes a main body having a regulating surface regulating a position of the sheet on the sheet stacking unit, and an operating portion movably supported on the main body and having an operating surface. The operating portion is movable from a first to a second position by operating the operating surface. The sheet regulating unit is locked to the sheet stacking unit when the operating portion is in the first position, and unlocked when in the second position. The cover member includes a first surface covering the operating surface and a second surface covering an upper surface of the operating portion, and covers the operating portion with at least the first surface and the second surface so that the operating portion is not visible.

The cover member includes a first surface covering the operating surface and a second surface covering an upper surface of the operating portion, and covers the operating portion with at least the first surface and the second surface so that the operating portion is not visible.

A sheet storage device for storing sheets includes a supporting unit, a regulation unit, and a moving unit. The supporting unit supports stored sheets. The regulation unit is movably arranged on the supporting unit, and regulates a position of an edge portion of a sheet. The moving unit moves the regulation unit. The moving unit includes moving members to move in a direction parallel to a moving direction of the regulation unit. The moving members are moved by rotation of a rotation member in a case where the rotation member is in contact with the moving members. In a case where a fixing member attached to the sheet storage device in place of the rotation member, movement of the moving members is regulated by placing the moving members into contact with the fixing member.

A device (100) includes a sensor (101) to determine a capacitance between a first metal piece (209, 309, 409, 509, 609, 709, 809, 909) coupled to a paper tray (213, 413, 513, 913) of a printing device (206, 306) and a second metal piece (207, 307, 407, 507, 607, 707, 807, 907) coupled to a paper width adjuster (212) of the printing device (206, 306). The device (100) also includes a controlled (102) coupled to the sensor (101) comprising a processor (103) in communication with a memory resource (104) including executable instructions to determine a size of paper in the paper tray (213, 413, 513, 913) based on the determined capacitance.

A sheet holder includes a regulator, a rotary body, a detection target, a rotational position detector, and a biasing body. The regulator moves in directions to approach and separate from an end portion of a sheet. The rotary body has a contact portion and rotates according to movement of the regulator. The detection target is attached to the rotary body, has a contact target portion, and rotates together with the rotary body by contacting of the contact portion of the rotary body with the contact target portion of the detection target in a rotational direction of the rotary body. The rotational position detector detects a rotational position of the detection target. The biasing body applies a biasing force between the rotary body and the detection target to maintain a contact state of the contact portion of the rotary body and the contact target portion of the detection target.

A document transport device includes a placement portion, a slide member, a movable piece, and a detector. A document is to be placed on the placement portion. The slide member includes a document guide that contacts one lateral side of the document which is placed on the placement portion. The movable piece is provided to the slide member, and includes a shading pattern composed of plural patches that have plural densities corresponding to plural document sizes and having plural adjacent patch density differences that are different from each other. The detector detects a density of the shading pattern, and outputs an output signal for document size recognition.

A sheet storage apparatus attached to an apparatus body in an attaching direction includes a sheet storage portion configured to store a sheet, a moving unit movably supported by the sheet storage portion in a moving direction parallel to the attaching direction, wherein the moving unit includes a regulation member and an extending member extending in the moving direction, the regulation member including a regulation surface regulating a position, in the moving direction, of the sheet stored in the sheet storage portion, and a first bonding surface extending along the moving direction, the extending member including a second bonding surface extending parallel to the first bonding surface, and wherein the first bonding surface and the second bonding surface are configured to be bonded to each other by adhesive.
