Abstract: A printer includes a printer body, a hopper, an open-and-close cover, a paper support, and a support holder. The hopper pushes paper up while supporting the paper. The open-and-close cover is able to be opened from and closed toward the printer body. The paper support is provided in such a way as to be able to be housed inside and drawn away from the open-and-close cover, and is configured to support the paper by being drawn out. The support holder supports the paper, together with the hopper and the paper support. The support holder switches between an upright orientation for being housed into the printer body and a tilted orientation for supporting the paper together with the hopper and the paper support by the opening and closing of the open-and-close cover.

Abstract: A recording apparatus includes a medium container to store a medium, feeding rollers to be switched between a feeding state in which the feeding rollers are in contact with the medium and a separated state in which the feeding rollers are separated from the medium, a reversing path for reversing the medium that has been fed from the medium container, a recorder to perform recording on the medium that has been reversed by the reversing path, a back-feed path for introducing the medium that has been fed in the reverse direction from the recording region in which recording has been performed by the recorder toward the reversing path, and a nip roller configured to nip the medium within the back-feed path. At least a portion of the feeding rollers that are in the separated state overlaps the nip roller in the direction of the height of the recording apparatus.

Abstract: A medium feeder includes: a path blocking member configured to rotate to switch between a blocking state that blocks a feed path for a medium fed out from a tray at a position of the guide member, and an open state that opens the feed path; and a switching unit that performs switching of the path blocking member, wherein the switching unit includes a rack configured to be displaced in a feeding direction in which a medium is fed from the tray to thereby perform switching of the path blocking member, and a pinion gear that drives the rack.

Abstract: A printer includes a first upper face cover and a second upper face cover. The first upper face cover is formed such that when a medium is set in a setting port, the width direction of the medium is a first direction, and the first upper face cover has a smaller dimension in the first direction than a dimension of an apparatus main body in the first direction. The first upper face cover in a closed state is included inside the second upper face cover in plan view when the second upper face cover is in a closed state. The first upper face cover and the second upper face cover both in the closed states form a shape that corresponds to an outline of an upper portion of the apparatus main body.

Abstract: A recording apparatus includes a medium mounting section, a feed mechanism, a recording section, a housing, and a reading unit. The reading unit is provided on top of the housing and includes a document feed opening, a transport section, and a reading section. A back cover moves in tandem with a mounting tray, and moves to a closed position in which the back cover covers the opening when the mounting tray is closed and an open position in which the back cover does not prevent the mounting tray from rotating for stowage in the opening when the mounting tray is open. When in the closed position, the mounting tray covers the document feed opening of the reading unit.

Abstract: Of at least three drive sources provided inside a printer body, a carriage-driving motor and a transport motor are disposed on one side with respect to a center portion in a width direction that intersects a medium transport direction while a sheet-feed motor is disposed on the other side with respect to the center portion in the width direction. The battery that provides electric power to the three drive sources is disposed such that the center of gravity of the battery is on the other side with respect to the center portion in the width direction.
