摘要:
A roller for transporting a recording medium includes an inner layer having a shaft hole through which a rotating shaft passes; and an outer layer formed outside the inner layer and brought into contact with the recording medium. At least a first end surface of the inner layer in a direction along the rotating shaft is located inside the outer layer remote from end surfaces of the outer layer in the direction along the rotating shaft.
摘要:
A recording apparatus includes a recording unit that performs recording on a recording medium; a transporting unit disposed upstream of the recording unit and transporting the recording medium downstream; a first guide member and a second guide member disposed facing the first guide member, the first and second guide members having an upstream section of a transport path of the recording medium disposed therebetween; and an optical sensor including a light-emitting portion and a light-receiving portion and having an optical axis that traverses the transport path of the recording medium between the first and second guide members. At least one of the light-emitting portion and the light-receiving portion projects from an outer side of the transport path towards the first guide member. The first guide member has a cutout having an opening that faces the second guide member. The cutout has the light-emitting portion or the light-receiving portion disposed therein. The opening of the cutout is covered with a sheet member except for an area where the optical axis of the optical sensor extends.
