A printable medium support for a printer comprises a support element to support a printable medium, wherein the support element is movable between a protruding configuration to support the printable medium, and a retracted configuration in which the support element is at least partially retracted in a first direction. The printable medium support comprises an actuating element to move the support element between the protruding configuration and the retracted configuration.

An image recording apparatus for recording an image on a sheet includes a recording section which records the image on the sheet in a transport passage for transporting the sheet in a transport direction and multiple plates which are spaced apart from each other in a widthwise direction. These multiple plates include a first type of plate and a second type of plate. Plates of a first type of plate are configured to overlap a sheet when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the transport direction and the widthwise direction, while plates of the second type of plate do not.

A medium transporting device provided in a printer includes a curved path in which a paper sheet after recording is curved and inverted, a plurality of first ribs that extend in a medium transportation direction in a facing area facing a recording head, that are provided at intervals in a width direction intersecting the medium transportation direction, and that form cockling on the paper sheet, a plurality of second ribs that are provided on an outer curved portion of the curved path, and a plurality of third ribs that are provided on an inner curved portion of the curved path. The plurality of second ribs and the plurality of third ribs are disposed at positions in the width direction that correspond to a mountain portion and a valley portion of the cockling of the paper sheet that is formed by the plurality of first ribs.

A sheet conveying apparatus includes a storage portion to store a sheet, first and second stack portions, first and second conveyance paths to convey a sheet towards the first stack portion and the second stack portion, respectively, a first conveyance unit, a reverse path, and a second conveyance unit. The first conveyance unit is provided downstream of the first conveyance path and reverses and conveys a sheet conveyed to the first conveyance path. The reverse path conveys, once more to the first conveyance path, a sheet that has been reversed by the first conveyance unit. The second conveyance unit is provided in the second conveyance path and downstream of an intersection point between the second conveyance path and the reverse path. While conveying and reversing a sheet conveyed to the second conveyance path towards the reverse path, the second conveyance conveys the conveyed sheet towards the second stack portion.

A first feeder contacts a first surface of a first sheet held in a first tray and feeds the first sheet toward a recording unit. A second feeder contacts a first surface of a second sheet held in a second tray and feeds the second sheet toward the recording unit. An inner member is disposed above a standing plate. An outer member comprises an upstream portion opposing the standing plate, and a downstream portion opposing the inner member. The inner member guides the first surface of the first sheet and the first surface of the second sheet. The standing plate guides the first surface of the second sheet. The upstream portion of the outer member guides a second surface of the second sheet, and the downstream portion guides a second surface of the first sheet and the second surface of the second sheet. The standing plate moves relative to the outer member.

In a banknote pay-in/pay-out device (10) of an ATM (1), respective pawl portions (42) are provided at upper ends of a front storage box conveyance guide (32) and a rear storage box conveyance guide (33) provided to a front storage box conveyance guide (32) of a banknote storage box (26). In each pawl portion (42), plural pawl bodies (43) are discretely disposed along a left-right direction. In each pawl body (43), a guide plate (51) looking onto a conveyance space (34) is connected to an upper end of a main body (41), a facing plate (52) is connected to an upper-side edge of the guide plate (51), and a left-side plate (53) and a right-side plate (54) are respectively connected to the left and right edges of the guide plate (51). This increases the strength of the guide plates (51) of the pawl bodies (43) such that damage to the pawl bodies (43) as a result of collisions with other members or the like can be prevented, and enables banknotes to be guided smoothly in the banknote pay-in/pay-out device (10).
