  • Publication number: 20230391575
    Abstract: A medium ejection apparatus includes a housing, an ejection roller, and an ejection tray attached to the housing to be able to rotate and having a first surface and a second surface, formed at a back side of the first surface, to stack the medium ejected by the ejection roller. The first surface and the second surface are formed by a single member. The first surface is formed with a first recessed part extending in a medium ejection direction and a first beam part extending in the medium ejection direction and sticking out from the first recessed part. The second surface is formed with a second recessed part extending in the medium ejection direction due to the first beam part and is formed with a second beam part extending in the medium ejection direction and sticking out from the second recessed part due to the first recessed part.

  • Publication number: 20230294941
    Abstract: A medium ejection apparatus includes an ejection roller, an ejection tray to stack a medium ejected by the ejection roller, a drive mechanism to drive the ejection roller, a processor to detect a size of the medium ejected by the ejection roller, and control the drive mechanism to control a conveyance speed of the ejection roller when ejecting the medium. The processor changes the conveyance speed of the ejection roller from a first conveyance speed to a second conveyance speed lower than the first conveyance speed in the middle of ejecting the medium. The processor changes the second conveyance speed in accordance with the size of the medium.

  • Publication number: 20230257225
    Abstract: A medium ejection apparatus includes an ejection tray having a first stacking surface, and an extension tray rotatably attached to an end part of the ejection tray at a downstream side in a medium ejection direction, and having a second stacking surface. An end part of the ejection tray at the downstream side is provided with a first abutting part and a second abutting part. An end part of the extension tray at the ejection tray side is provided with a first abutted part and a second abutted part. The second stacking surface is located forming a first angle with respect to the first stacking surface by the first abutted part abutting against the first abutting part. The second stacking surface is located forming a second angle, different from the first angle, with respect to the first stacking surface by the second abutted part abutting against the first abutting part.

  • Patent number: 11261044
    Abstract: A medium conveying apparatus includes an imaging device to image a medium and configured to move in a moving direction, a roller configured to move in the moving direction, on an upstream side of the imaging device, a conveyance guide provided with the imaging device to move the imaging device, wherein the conveyance guide includes a slope for coming into contact with the medium, an engaging member provided with the imaging device to move the imaging device, and a moving member to move the imaging device by engaging with the engaging member in conjunction with a movement of the roller. The engaging member and the moving member are configured to be separated at a distance from one another when the medium is not conveyed. The moving member moves the imaging device by engaging with the engaging member only when the medium has a thickness greater than the distance.
