20080204495 | LIQUID EJECTING APPARATUS - The invention provides a liquid ejecting apparatus that includes: a main scan section that scans the liquid ejecting head in a main scan direction; a sub scan section that scans the ejection target medium in a sub scan direction, the sub scan section including a pair of transport rollers and a pair of ejection rollers; and a controlling section that acquires, an expected timing of a switchover between a state in which the ejection target medium is nipped by both of the pair of transport rollers and the pair of ejection rollers and a state in which the ejection target medium is nipped by only one of the pair of transport rollers and the pair of ejection rollers, and that changes an ejecting condition, during a plurality of main scan operations in a transition interval that is set around the expected timing. | 08-28-2008 |
20090134571 | RECORDING MEDIUM TRANSPORTING DEVICE AND RECORDING APPARATUS - A recording medium transporting device includes a transporting unit that transports a recording medium; a guide member that supports and guides the recording medium in a downstream direction, the guide member being disposed downstream of the transporting unit; and a restraining unit that includes a restraining member having a restraining section, the restraining section being movable relative to the guide member. The restraining section imposes a restraint on the recording medium to prevent the recording medium from rising above the guide member at a position downstream of the transporting unit. A restriction state of the restraining member is switchable between at least two states, and the restriction state is switched so that a degree of the restraint is reduced or the restraint is removed before a trailing edge of the recording medium passes the restraining section. | 05-28-2009 |
20100025912 | METHOD OF DETECTING SHEET IN TRANSPORT DEVICE, TRANSPORT DEVICE, IMAGE READING DEVICE, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A transport device includes a set section, a sheet sensor, and a feeding member. When a detection member does not retract, the sheet sensor outputs an OFF-detection signal. The feeding member is displaced between a feed position and a non-feed position on the basis of the detection signal. At the feed position, the feeding member comes in contact with the sheet set in the set section from above and feeds the sheet toward the downstream side on a transport path. At the non-feed position, the feeding member is separated upward from the feed position. A method, which detects a sheet in the transport device, includes displacing the feeding member from the non-feed position to the feed position, and detecting that the sheet does not exist in the set section when an OFF-detection signal is output from the sheet sensor while the feeding member is positioned at the feed position. | 02-04-2010 |
20100025927 | TRANSPORT DEVICE, IMAGE READING DEVICE, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A transport device, which transports a sheet set in a set section toward the downstream side on a transport path, includes a restricting member. The restricting member is provided at a set position of the sheet in the set section, and is displaced to restrict the sheet moving toward the downstream side on the transport path. The restricting member includes a restricting section that comes in contact with a front end of the sheet from the downstream side on the transport path, and is rotatable about a shaft extending along the transport path so as to be displaced between a first position where the restricting section protrudes on the transport path and a second position where the restricting section retracts from the transport path. | 02-04-2010 |
20120292846 | MEDIUM FEEDING DEVICE, SCANNER AND RECORDING APPARATUS - A medium feeding device includes a medium feeding unit that feeds a medium placed in a set position, and a friction separation member that is disposed downstream of the medium feeding unit and is configured to come into contact with the underside of the medium, the friction separation member being deformable, and feed path restriction members that are arranged such that the friction separation member is located between the feed path restriction members, the contact portion of the feed path restriction member which comes into contact with the topside of the medium being located at a position lower than the upper surface of the friction separation member. | 11-22-2012 |
20130221597 | RECORDING APPARATUS - A recording apparatus includes a lower tray configured to store a recording medium, an upper tray which is provided above the lower tray and configured to store a recording medium, and a feeding roller capable of contacting each of the recording medium stored in the lower tray and the recording medium stored in the upper tray from above. The lower tray and the upper tray are attached to and detached from an apparatus body including a recording unit and the feeding roller, independently from each other. | 08-29-2013 |
20130221600 | RECORDING APPARATUS - A recording apparatus includes a lower tray which is detachably mounted to an apparatus body, an upper tray provided above the lower tray, which is detachably mounted to the apparatus body, and a feeding roller capable of contacting each of a recording medium stored in the lower tray and the recording medium stored in the upper tray from above. The feeding roller is supported at an intermediate position, which is lower than a position of the feeding roller reached when the feeding roller contacts a bottom surface of the upper tray and higher than a position of the feeding roller reached when the feeding roller contacts a recording medium set as a top sheet in a state in which a maximum number of recording media are stored in the lower tray, in an unmounted state of the upper tray and the lower tray. | 08-29-2013 |
20140054838 | RECORDING MEDIUM CASSETTE AND RECORDING APPARATUS - A recording medium cassette includes a lower sheet placement unit on which a first recording medium is placed, an upper sheet placement unit on which a second recording medium is placed and configured to slide with respect to the lower sheet placement unit, and a recorded medium receiver on which the first recording medium and the second recording medium that have undergone a recording operation of a recording unit are placed. The recorded medium receiver is pivotably disposed at an end portion of the lower sheet placement unit in a feed direction. The upper sheet placement unit is pivotably disposed at the other end portion of the lower sheet placement unit in the feed direction. | 02-27-2014 |
20140103597 | RECORDING APPARATUS - A recording apparatus includes a recording medium cassette removably attached to a casing and including a first sheet placement base on which a first recording medium is to be placed, a feed roller that delivers the first recording medium placed on the first sheet placement base in a feed direction, a recording unit that performs a recording operation on the first recording medium delivered by the feed roller, and a recorded medium receiver removably attached to the recording medium cassette at a position above the first sheet placement base in a vertical direction, and configured to receive the first recording medium discharged from the recording unit. | 04-17-2014 |
20150084274 | MEDIUM MOUNTING MECHANISM AND RECORDING APPARATUS - A sheet cassette includes a cassette main body which forms a sheet accommodating region; an edge guide which is slidable to a position corresponding to a size of a medium; a guide groove which extends along a sliding direction of the edge guide and guides the edge guide in the sliding direction, and into which a portion of the edge guide is inserted; and a widening allowance groove which is provided with a predetermined distance from the guide groove, and allows widening of the guide groove when a portion of the edge guide is inserted into the guide groove. | 03-26-2015 |
