An apparatus includes a housing provided with a conveyance path, a conveyance unit which conveys a sheet along the conveyance path, a discharge port from which the sheet conveyed along the conveyance path is discharged, a discharge tray on which the sheet discharged from the discharge port is stacked, and an attitude change unit which changes an attitude of the discharge tray. The discharge tray includes a first sheet receiving surface which is a portion facing the discharge port in a discharge direction of the sheet and on which a leading edge of the sheet lands, and a second sheet receiving surface which is formed at a predetermined inclination with respect to the first sheet receiving surface. The attitude change unit changes the attitude of the discharge tray so that the first sheet receiving surface of the discharge tray is inclined toward the discharge port.

A feeding tray includes a first member supported, via a housing member, by a main body of a recording device configured to perform recording onto a medium, and a second member that includes a second support surface configured to support the medium and is coupled to the first member to be movable relatively to the first member, with a transport direction of the medium being a movement direction. The second member includes a second frame body forming an outer peripheral portion of the second member, and a plurality of second ribs spanning across the second frame body to form the second support surface.

A sheet feeding device capable of improving user's convenience even in a case where non-long sheets and long sheets are switchingly used. A sheet storage opened and closed for storing sheets to be used for image formation. A deck supply path feeds sheets from the sheet storage. A first and a second lift plate are provided in the sheet storage, side by side, in a sheet feeding direction. The first and second lift plates can be lifted up and down by a lift mechanism. A CPU determines whether or not an operation concerning storing long sheets in the sheet storage has been performed. When it is determined that the operation has been performed, the CPU controls the lift mechanism to cause the levels of the first and second lift plates to match each other.

A sheet feeding apparatus for feeding a sheet includes a first lift tray configured to move up or down in a first lift range and to support a sheet; a sheet feeding unit configured to feed a sheet supported by the first lift tray; and a second lift tray configured to move up or down in a second lift range and to support a sheet in cooperation with the first lift tray. A lowest position in the second lift range is a position above a lowest position in the first lift range, and the second lift range is a range which is narrower than the first lift range.

An image reading apparatus includes an original tray, an original feeding portion, an original reading portion, an original discharging portion, an original discharge tray, an extension tray, and a rotation guide. A stacking surface of the original discharge tray is provided with an opening through which the rotation guide is capable of passing when the rotation guide rotates from a first position to a second position. In a state in which the extension tray is held at a pulled-out position, the rotation guide is rotatable relative to the extension tray from the first position toward the second position. In a state in which the extension tray is held at an accommodated position, the rotation guide is rotatable from the first position toward the second position by passing through the opening.

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 and an output extension part. The input extension part allows a printer to receive longer pieces of paper. In more detail, 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.

A scanner including a medium discharging apparatus includes a discharge tray including a first tray configured to receive a front end of a medium discharged by a discharge roller pair and allow placement of the medium therein, and a second tray that is located downstream of the first tray in a medium discharge direction and configured to allow placement of the medium therein, the discharge tray being configured to switch between a first posture in which the first tray and the second tray form a first angle 1, and a second posture in which the first tray and the second tray form a second angle 2 smaller than the first angle 1, without changing the posture of the first tray with respect to the discharge roller pair.

A medium transport device includes a first transport route for discharging a medium processed by a processing unit, a second transport route for discharging the medium processed by the processing unit, and a medium receiving tray that is capable of switching a state between a medium receiving state of receiving the medium that is discharged through the first transport route and a medium unreceivable state achieved by performing state switching from the medium receiving state. The first transport route comes into a non-formed state and at least a part of the medium receiving tray forms the second transport route when the medium receiving tray is in the medium unreceivable state, and the second transport route comes into the non-formed state and the first transport route is formed when the medium receiving tray comes into the medium receiving state.

In an example, a tray cover extender may include a cover rack attached to a movable tray cover such that movement of the cover rack is transferred to a movement of the movable tray cover. Further, the tray cover extender may include a pinion gear operably engaged with the cover rack so as to actuate or move the cover rack if the pinion gear is actuated. The example tray cover extender may also include a tray rack attached to a media tray. The tray rack may actuate or move the pinion gear as the media tray is moved past the pinion gear. The cover rack may extend the movable tray cover from a first position to a second position if the pinion gear actuates the cover rack.

A printer tray extension kit which allows a printer to hold and receive longer pieces of paper is provided. The printer tray extension kit includes a base, an extension arm, a support stand, and a crossbar. The base provides a structural platform in order for the printer tray extension kit to hold pieces of paper. The extension arm provides a lengthening element in order for the print tray extension kit to hold longer pieces of paper if the base is not long enough. The support stand provides a structural reinforcement which maintains the printer tray extension kit in a raised position from a table surface or similar. The crossbar provides a structural reference bar which is used to attach the support stand to the base.
