20090309942 | PRINTING APPARATUS - Even when a printing medium is fed from a curving sheet feeding path on which a plurality of printing media are stackable, high quality printing is performed without bothering a user at all. To this end, the printing is performed after the printing medium is entirely conveyed to a flat conveyance path. More specifically, the printing medium fed from the curving sheet feeding path is conveyed, without being printed, to a position where the rear end of the printing medium gets out of the sheet feeding path, and then is reversely conveyed to a flat conveyance path. After that, the printing is performed while the printing medium is conveyed on the flat conveyance path. | 12-17-2009 |
20100060694 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - An apparatus includes a printing unit which is disposed in a housing and configured to form an image on a sheet, an lid attached to the housing by a hinge mechanism, and a camera which is attached to the lid and configured to read an image on a document while the lid is open, wherein the sheet having the image formed by the printing unit is discharged on the lid, and when the lid is opened, the camera can read the document which is placed at a reading position below the camera. | 03-11-2010 |
20100066796 | PRINTER - A display unit includes a slide mechanism slidable in a lateral or vertical direction to a housing. A maintenance opening formed in the housing can be covered and uncovered. When the opening is uncovered, a user can access at least apart of a print section in the housing from the opening and perform maintenance. | 03-18-2010 |
20100097667 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - An image forming apparatus includes a printing section, a flatbed scanner section configured to read an original on a reading surface, and a moving mechanism configured to change the angle of the reading surface relative to an installation plane on which the apparatus is installed. The scanner section is capable of performing reading in each of a first mode where the angle of the reading surface is a first angle (vertical) and a second mode where the angle of the reading surface is a second angle (horizontal) different from the first angle. | 04-22-2010 |
