摘要:
To provide a reading/printing apparatus and a reading apparatus by which the facility with which each unit is assembled and maintained can be significantly improved because steps of fixing and connecting individual units need not be performed in order, a printing apparatus, a control board, and a power supply are disposed inside a housing obtained by integrally forming a base portion serving as a bottom surface, side walls serving as outer side surfaces, and an opening surrounded by the side walls. The reading apparatus, the printing apparatus, the control board, and the power supply are discretely constituted. The housing includes a first housing integrally formed with enough strength to separately fix the base portion, lower portions of the side walls, the reading apparatus, the printing apparatus, the control board, and the power supply, and a second housing covering the opening and integrally forming upper portions of the side walls. The second housing is fixed to the first housing by elastic deformation so as to cover the opening of the first housing.

A facsimile apparatus comprises a facsimile unit for sending data corresponding to image data that has been received, and a printer unit for performing image recording by discharging ink droplets in accordance with data sent from the facsimile unit. A first CPU for the control of the facsimile unit sends, after one page of image data, data in a predetermined pattern and further a paper exhausting command to the printer. A second CPU of the printer unit performs a paper exhausting operation upon receiving the paper exhausting command, after recording of the predetermined pattern, and upon conveying the recording paper up to a predetermined position, sends a signal for starting detection of the predetermined pattern to the first CPU. The first CPU thereby receives a detection signal from a photo sensor. The second CPU further conveys the recording paper, and at a timing of exhausting out of the apparatus, sends a signal for the detection end of the predetermined pattern to the first CPU. Thereby, it is possible to detect correctly the pattern for detection of the emptiness of ink and the recording paper jam which is recorded at the trailing portion of the recording paper.

An apparatus for setting sheet materials having a sheet material setting member pivotably supported to a sheet material processing apparatus, an auxiliary member for enhancing a sheet material setting area, and a restricting member for restricting pivotal movement of the auxiliary member in a midway of the movement when the auxiliary member pivotally moves according to pivotal movement of the sheet material setting member. The auxiliary member pivotally moves in a reverse direction according to the pivotal movement of the sheet material setting member when it restricted by the restricting member.

There is disclosed an ink sheet cartridge loadable into a recording apparatus for performing the recording onto a recording sheet. The cartridge comprises a first winding member for winding an ink sheet of multi-print having the ink on a carrier, a second winding member for winding the ink sheet, an ink sheet conveying rotational body for applying a conveying force to the ink sheet, the ink sheet conveying rotational body being provided on the recording head downstream thereof in a direction of conveying the ink sheet, and a frame body for containing the first winding member, the second winding member and the ink sheet conveying rotational body.
摘要:
A method of and an apparatus for recording an image. The method of recording an image while a plurality of long recording sheets are selectively being fed to a recording section, comprising the steps of specifying a desired one of the plurality of recording sheets; and locating the leading edge of the desired one at a ready state at a position which is downstream with respect to a recording position of the recording section in the direction in which the recording sheet is fed. The apparatus is arranged such that image recording is performed in accordance with image information while a recording sheet unwound from one of first and second sheet rolls is being fed to a recording section including a recording head. One of the first and second recording sheets is set to a predetermined position in the recording section, after recording onto the recording sheet is completed.
摘要:
An ink jet recording apparatus has a recording mode in which recording is performed by selectively discharging black ink and color inks of colors other than black. Any abnormality in the state of discharge of the ink is performed by executing a test discharging operation. When the recording apparatus functions as a facsimile apparatus, the test discharging operation is conducted by discharging only the black ink, without discharging inks of other colors. Wasteful consumption of ink is diminished, so that the running cost of the ink jet recording apparatus is reduced.
摘要:
A sheet feeding apparatus has a support for supporting sheets, a feed roller disposed at a downstream side of the supported sheets and adapted to feed out the sheet by rotating while contacting with the sheet, and a separation roller disposed at a downstream side of the sheet supporting device in the sheet feeding direction and in a confronting relation to the sheet feed device. A slip device generates slip between the feed roller and the sheet within a predetermined range when the feed roller starts to rotate, thereby preventing the feeding of the sheet and rotating the separation roller in the sheet feeding direction.
摘要:
If one page of recording is terminated, a carriage moves to a position at which a recording head is located opposite a cap. Then, the ink is discharged through nozzles of the recording head onto temperature detecting element within the cap. Temperature change of the temperature detecting element upon contact with the ink is output from a detecting circuit, and the normal discharge of ink is detected by discharge detecting means. In this way, a decrease in the ink remaining or the detection of ink nondischarge can be securely made.
摘要:
A wheel for maintaining a constant distance between an ink discharge plane of a recording head and a recording sheet is provided on a carriage such that it is upstream of the recording head as viewed in the direction of movement of the recording head in a unidirectional print mode. A sensor monitors whether the recording sheet is moved off a contact of a feed roller which feeds the recording sheet to a record position and a pinch roller. Before a trailing edge of the recording sheet is moved off the contact of the feed roller and the pinch roller, bilateral recording is conducted to print in each of forward movement and backward movement of the carriage. When the sensor detects that the trailing edge of the recording sheet has been moved off the contact of the feed roller and the pinch roller, the recording is switched to unilateral printing. The print range at the trailing edge of the recording medium is thus extended.
