A magazine has a generally rectangular, prismatic shaped body with a lid. The body has a front with an opening, an opposite back, a bin upon the back, a left side and an opposite right side spanning from the front to the back, a toothed rack on each side, a spindle assembly between the two racks, and a base beneath the front, the back, and the two sides. The lid rests upon the front, the back, the left side, and the right side in a spacing above the base. Each spindle of the assembly receives a roll of wrapping paper, oriented parallel to the front. Each spindle has an end cap and an opposite movable cap engaging a dock upon a cover. The spindles rotate upon gears with the spindle assembly upon the racks. Grips upon each spindle allow a user to unroll paper as desired.

A conveyance apparatus includes a bearing rotator, an entrance rotator, an exit rotator, a first driver circuit, a downstream conveyor, a second driver circuit, and a recording medium detector. The entrance rotator receives a recording medium at a first position. The downstream conveyor receives the medium at a second position. As a process of removing the medium, the first driver circuit starts rotation operation after the second driver circuit starts driving the downstream conveyor and rotates the rotators for not less than a period of time for the medium to be conveyed from the first position to the second position. The second driver circuit continues driving the downstream conveyor for not less than a period of time for the medium to be conveyed from the second position to a position at which the medium is detected after the rotation operation of the first driver circuit is stopped.

An apparatus to launch, retrieve, and store a recreational floating mat is described. The apparatus can provide the advantages of helping to ease the potential difficulties associated with launching, retrieving and storing recreational floating mats from dock side, pool side or from a floating vessel such as a boat or floating dock.

A medium supply device includes: a stacking unit in which media are stackable in a vertical direction; a first regulating unit that is provided on the stacking unit and that regulates positions of side portions of the media in a width direction; a supply unit that supplies air to more than one of the media stacked on the stacking unit so that the more than one of the media are raised and separated from each other; a transport unit that successively feeds the media that are raised and separated from each other by the supply unit; a detection unit that detects conditions of the media that are raised and separated from each other by the supply unit from outside in the width direction; a second regulating unit that is attached to an upper section of the stacking unit when the media stacked in the stacking unit are second media and that regulates positions of side portions of the second media in the width direction, the second media having a smaller dimension than first media in the width direction; and a moving unit that moves the detection unit to an area in which the second media are detectable when the second regulating unit is attached.

A sheet material feeding apparatus includes a first roll 106, and a second roll 108 arranged vertically below first roll 106, to feed a sheet material clamped between the first roll 106 and the second roll 108. The sheet material feeding apparatus further includes a first motor 102 provided with a rotatable first motor shaft 104 coupled to the first roll 106, and a second motor 103 provided with a rotatable second motor shaft 105 coupled to the second roll 108. The first motor shaft 104 and the second motor shaft 105 rotate at substantially the same rotation speed to allow the first roll 106 and the second roll 108 to rotate in synchronization with each other.

A control device which controls transportation of a continuous paper receives an operation signal according to an operation amount by which a terminal is operated and generates a drive command which controls a transport speed of the continuous paper based on the operation signal.
