An image forming apparatus includes a cover portion and an auxiliary tray. The cover portion is displaced between a closing position for closing the supply port and an opening position for opening the supply port. The auxiliary tray is attached to a sheet stack surface of the cover portion, and supports the sheet, together with the cover portion at the opening position. The auxiliary tray is, either in a first attachment state or in a second attachment state, attached to the cover portion. In the first attachment state, a longitudinal direction of the auxiliary tray extends along a width direction that crosses a sheet insertion direction and the auxiliary tray is stored in the sheet stack surface. In the second attachment state, the longitudinal direction extends along the sheet insertion direction, and the auxiliary tray extends out from the cover portion toward an upstream in the sheet insertion direction.

There is provided an image recording apparatus which is provided with a housing, a holder configured to be drawable from the housing, a supporting member supported by the holder and configured to support a sheet roll, a liquid container supported by the holder and configured to hold liquid, a conveyance mechanism arranged in an inner space of the housing and configured to convey a sheet unwound from the sheet roll, and a print head arranged in the inner space of the housing and configured to record an image on the sheet conveyed by the conveyance mechanism. The liquid container is configured to include at least one of tanks configured to hold liquid to be provided to the print head and a waste tank configured to pool liquid discharged from the print head.

A sheet feeding apparatus includes a sheet supporting portion to support a sheet, a feeding member to contact an upper surface of the sheet supported on the sheet supporting portion and feed the sheet, and a drive motor to rotate in a first direction and in a second direction opposite to the first direction. In addition, a lifting mechanism is connected to the drive motor to lift the sheet supporting portion and lower the feeding member in a case where the drive motor rotates in the first direction, and to lower the sheet supporting portion and lift the feeding member in a case where the drive motor rotates in the second direction.

A transport roller pair that includes a capstan roller and a pinch roller is provided. The capstan roller includes a rotational shaft, a pair of spike roller members that are arranged at intervals from each other so as to correspond to a dimension of a first instant film in a width direction, and a sub roller member that is disposed at an interval with respect to the spike roller member so as to correspond to a dimension of a second instant film in a width direction.

A printer includes: a conveyor that performs a forward-conveyance operation for conveying a printing medium downstream in a conveying direction and a backward-conveyance operation for conveying the printing medium upstream in the conveying direction; a printing device; a roller provided downstream of the conveyor in the conveying direction; an opposed member opposed to the roller; a moving mechanism that moves a moving member, which is one of the roller and the opposed member, between (i) a first position at which the printing medium is nipped between the moving member and the other of the roller and the opposed member and (ii) a second position at which the moving member is separated from the printing medium; and a controller that executes a first conveyor-backward-conveyance processing for controlling the conveyor to perform the backward-conveyance operation in a state in which the moving member is located at the second position.

A recording apparatus including a recording head that performs recording, a feed roller that feeds out a set medium, a transport driving roller that transports the medium, which is fed out by the feed roller, towards an opposing position that opposes the recording head, and an auxiliary roller provided between the feed roller and the transport driving roller, the auxiliary roller assisting transportation of the medium. When the apparatus is seen from a side of the apparatus, the auxiliary roller overlaps the feed roller in a height direction of the apparatus.

A medium-discharging device includes: a medium-discharging section that discharges a medium; a medium-receiving tray that receives the medium discharged by the medium-discharging section; a light-emitting section that emits light to the medium-receiving tray; and a control section that controls the light-emitting section, in which the medium-receiving tray is configured to switch between a first state in which the medium-receiving tray is stored in an apparatus main body that includes the medium-discharging section and a second state in which the medium-receiving tray protrudes from the apparatus main body, and the control section controls the light-emitting section in accordance with a state or operation of the medium-receiving tray.

Disclosed is a tape supplying body including: a tape roll on which a tape to be fed to a tape printing apparatus is wound; a first member provided on a bottom surface of the tape roll; and a second member, wherein the second member has a running-onto prevention part that is provided at an upper surface of the tape roll and prevents the tape from running onto the tape roll, a tape receiving part that is provided at a bottom surface of the first member and receives the tape dropping from the first member, and a connection part that is provided on a radially outer side of the tape roll and connects the running-onto prevention part and the tape receiving part to each other.

A print device includes a supply unit, a print unit, a conveyer, a tensioner, and a rotor. The conveyer is configured to nip and to convey, with a pair of rollers, a long medium in a conveyance direction. The tensioner is configured to contact a second surface of the medium to cause the medium to bend. The tensioner is pivotably supported at a position upstream of the conveyer in the conveyance direction. The rotor is rotatably supported at a position upstream of the conveyer in the conveyance direction, and positioned downstream, in the conveyance direction, of an upstream end portion, in the conveyance direction, of the tensioner. The rotor is positioned such that an upper end of the rotor and a nipped point are at a same height. The rotor is configured to contact the second surface.

A medium supply device is provided that includes a single sheet paper accommodating unit at which media are stacked and placed, and a feeding roller configured to feed the media by rotating in contact with a top surface of the placed media. The feeding roller includes a contact portion configured to contact the single sheet paper and a non-contact portion configured to not contact the single sheet paper in a rotational direction, and a plurality of the contact portions and the non-contact portions are provided in a first direction that is an extending direction of a rotation axis of the feeding roller, and the contact portions adjacent to each other in the first direction are out of phase in the rotational direction.
