MEDIUM EJECTION DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
A medium ejection device includes a medium ejector, a medium stacker, a medium stopper, and an extended stacker. The medium ejector ejects a medium. The medium ejected from the medium ejector is stacked on a medium stacker. The medium stopper is disposed on the medium stacker and opposite the medium ejector. The extended stacker is disposed on a downstream side of the medium stopper in a medium ejection direction.
TRANSPORT APPARATUS AND RECORDING APPARATUS
A transport apparatus includes a mounting section on which a medium is to be mounted, a drive section configured to drive the mounting section in a moving direction and a protection section configured to be switched between a protection state for protecting the drive section and a release state for releasing protection of the drive section. The mounting section has a driven section that engages with the drive section and is driven by the drive section. When the driven section driven by the drive section engages with the drive section, the protection section is in the release state, and when the driven section does not engage with the drive section, the protection section is in the protection state.
RECORDING APPARATUS
There is provided a recording apparatus including: a medium support section that supports a medium before feeding; a feeding roller that sends out the medium; and an apparatus main body, in which the medium support section is configured to switch between a stored state of being stored in the apparatus main body and a protruding state, being a state where an upstream part in a feeding direction protrudes from a first side surface of the apparatus main body, in the protruding state of the medium support section, close to a second side surface, which is a side surface opposite to the first side surface, an assist roller that applies a sending force to the medium fed from the medium support section is provided upstream of the feeding roller in the feeding direction.
RECORDING APPARATUS
There are provided a medium support section that forms a support surface that supports a medium before feeding; a feeding roller that sends out the medium supported by the medium support section in a feeding direction; and an apparatus main body, the medium support section is configured to switch between a stored state of being stored in the apparatus main body and a protruding state, the protruding state being a state where protrudes from a first side surface which is one of side surfaces that form a periphery of the apparatus main body, and in the protruding state of the medium support section, a downstream end of the support surface in the feeding direction is at a position close to a second side surface, which is a side surface opposite to the first side surface, between the first side surface and the second side surface.
Recording apparatus
A recording apparatus includes: an apparatus main body that includes a recording unit; a medium-receiving tray that is configured to be switched between a first state and a second state; and a motor, in which the medium-receiving tray includes a first tray, a second tray that is configured to be displaced with respect to the first tray and that is positioned further than the first tray from the apparatus main body when the medium-receiving tray is in the second state, a pinion gear engaged with a first rack formed in the first tray in a displacement direction of the second tray and with a second rack formed in the second tray in the displacement direction, and a displacement section that supports the pinion gear and that is displaced in the displacement direction in response to receiving power from the motor.
Sheet post-processor and image forming system
A sheet post-processor includes a processing tray, a sheet discharge port, a discharge roller pair, a pair of cursor members, a pair of support members, and an interlocking mechanism. The interlocking mechanism includes a pair of coupling members arranged in the processing tray so as to be reciprocatable in a sheet width direction. The pair of coupling members are coupled to or decoupled from the pair of cursor members in accordance with movement of the pair of cursor members. While being coupled to the pair of cursor members, the pair of coupling members contact the pair of support members so as to displace the pair of support members to a protruding position, and while being decoupled from the pair of cursor members, the pair of coupling members separate from the pair of support members so as to displace the pair of support members to a retracted position.
Tray cover extenders
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.
Sheet accommodating apparatus, image forming system, and extension unit
A sheet accommodating apparatus includes a loading portion onto which a sheet is loaded, a lifting and lowering unit that lifts and lowers the loading portion, a raising portion that raises a sheet loading surface with respect to a lowermost lowering position of the loading portion and above which a portion of the sheet is loaded, and an extension portion that extends to a position outward of the loading portion from the raising portion side as seen in plan view and supports another portion of the sheet.
SHEET FEEDING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
A sheet feeding apparatus includes an apparatus body, a cover openably and closably supported between a first closed position and a first open position, a first supporting portion movable between a second closed position and a second open position, an interlocking portion configured to move the first supporting portion from the second closed position to the second open position in a case where the cover is opened from the first closed position to the first open position, a second supporting portion drawably supported by the first supporting portion, and a feed portion configured to feed the sheet supported by the first and second supporting portions. A moving angle of the first supporting portion in moving from the second closed position to the second open position is smaller than a moving angle of the cover in moving from the first closed position to the first open position.
Printing apparatus and tray unit
A printing apparatus includes a tray on which a sheet is to be stacked, a container configured to store the tray such that the tray can be pulled out, a first guide unit configured to guide a slide of the tray in a pull-out direction, a second guide unit spaced apart from the first guide unit in a widthwise direction, a first regulating portion provided in the container and configured to regulate, by abutting against the tray, a tilt of the tray to one direction in the widthwise direction; and a second regulating portion provided in the container and configured to regulate, by abutting against the tray, a tilt of the tray to the other direction in the widthwise direction.
