A printer enables setting fanfold paper inserted from a paper inlet to a horizontal transportation path that passes the printing position without paper jams occurring. The horizontal paper transportation path is positioned downstream of a first transportation path that extends from the paper inlet and a second transportation path that extends from a roll paper compartment, all of which are formed inside the printer. An attachment of an access cover to the roll paper compartment forms an intermediate paper path that renders the first and horizontal paper paths continuous at a junction near the convergence of the first and second paper transportation paths. The intermediate paper transportation path not only renders a continuous path for the fanfold paper from the paper inlet to the printing position, it smoothes the flow of the fanfold paper to the horizontal paper transportation path.

A paper feeding device includes: a reference guide surface that contacts a lateral end portion of a sheet-shaped medium along a guide path for transporting the medium; a tapered guide surface that is inclined outward from the reference guide surface toward an upstream side of a transport direction and contacts the lateral end portion of the medium; a paper feeding roller that rotates to transport the medium in a direction parallel to the reference guide surface while the paper feeding roller contacts a surface of the medium; and a medium cassette that stores the medium. The medium cassette stores the medium so as to be inclined with respect to the reference guide surface so that a rear end of the lateral end portion of the stored medium at a side of the reference guide surface is positioned outside an imaginary extension surface of the reference guide surface.

An original position setting apparatus for driving a driven member by a stepping motor and abutting the driven member against an original position setting member to set an original position of the driven member, wherein the original position apparatus includes a drive control section that periodically drives the stepping motor until the driven member abuts the original setting member, when the driven member is returned to the original position.

A thermal recording apparatus records image data line-by-line, using a thermal head having a linear array of heating elements. Each of the heating elements is shorter in the sub scan direction than in the main scan direction. To form an image of one recording line, the feeding of a recording paper and the transfer of ink onto the paper are repeated a plurality of times--for example, two times--using the image data for that line. The excellent thermal response of the heating element constructed as above, and the use of a plurality of recording operations for one recording line image formation, provides a uniform recording density distribution curve, so that the recorded image has high image quality and is substantially free from recording density irregularity. An additional recording control employed eliminates a nonimage part which will occur due to a varied recording speed.

A thermal recording system is used as a recorder in a facsimile equipment or the like, and usually has a first operational mode in which picture data being read out at a pitch of M lines/mm is recorded at a pitch of M lines/mm and a second operational mode in which picture data being read out at a pitch of (M/n) lines/mm are repetitively recorded for every n lines at a pitch of M lines/mm. In particular, in the second operational mode of the system, activation time periods of a thermal head in the repetitive recording of every n lines are controlled to be sequentially shorter as the lines advance, whereby a recording time in the second operational mode can be reduced and the deterioration of the recorded picture quality can be prevented.

A portable miter saw for cross-cutting and mitering elongated workpiece has a mechanism interlocked with the turntable for shutting the saw blade clearance gap in the guide fence. The mechanism is provided with a pair of shutter plates slidable on the guide fence and an interlocking piece connected to the shutter plates and movable in operative association with the turntable so as to linearly displace the shutter plates upon rotation of the turntable to selectively change the cutting angle of the saw blade.

To provide an electrode for a power storage device, which has high reliability and can be miniaturized. To provide a power storage device including the electrode. In the electrode, a stress-relieving layer which relieves internal stress of an active material layer including a whisker is provided over a current collector. By the stress-relieving layer, deformation of the current collector can be suppressed and the productivity of the power storage device can be increased. In addition, the size of the power storage device can be reduced and the reliability thereof can be increased. Graphene may be formed so as to cover the active material layer including a whisker.

A paper transportation control method for an apparatus enables conveying paper with appropriate tension on the paper by appropriately controlling a paper delivery operation of a delivery roller. When paper is conveyed by a paper feed roller pair of a roll paper printer, and tension on the paper is detected to exceed an upper tension limit based on displacement of a damping mechanism (a first time), a paper delivery operation of a delivery roller pair starts at a second time after a start operation delay time corresponding to a feed rate passes after the first time. When the tension returns to or below the upper tension limit, the paper delivery operation stops at a third time after a stop operation delay time similarly corresponding to the feed rate passes.

Texts including required message are entered with a small number of keys such as those of a cellular telephone. In this case, a conversion table is unnecessary and the number of key operations is reduced. The number of input characters or input character strings composed by sequentially selecting one from a plurality of alphabets distributed to sequentially entered keys is relevant to the number of operation keys (N) raised to the number of distributed character (M) power (=NM) including meaningless characters or character strings and, with respect to these, character conversion is executed by referring to a dictionary means, through the operation of the conversion next candidate key. The dictionary means stores numeric strings and words of meaningful characters or character strings among the said characters and character strings.
