  • Publication number: 20260145438
    Abstract: A printing apparatus includes an internal discharge unit, an operation unit, and a reading unit capable of housing a reading device. The operation unit and the reading unit are located above the internal discharge unit and are disposed side by side in the left-right direction in front view. A medium discharge direction of the internal discharge unit is one direction of the left direction and the right direction in front view. The operation unit is located in the other direction of the left direction and the right direction with respect to the reading unit in front view. The operation unit is located outside a region of the internal discharge unit in plan view and at least a part of the reading unit is located outside the region of the internal discharge unit. The operation unit and the reading unit respectively face upward.

  • Patent number: 12559338
    Abstract: A recording device in which an operating unit is provided to be pivotable to a parallel state and an inclined state with respect to a housing, a discharge tray includes a placement portion displaceable to an accommodation position and a use position, and an extension portion displaceable to a retracted state and an extended state, the extension portion protrudes to the outside of the housing when the placement portion is at the accommodation position and the extension portion is in the extended state, at least the extension portion in the extended state overlaps the operating unit in the parallel state, and a force in a first direction in which the extension portion is displaced from the extended state to the retracted state is applied when a back surface of the operating unit abuts on a tip of the extension portion.

  • Patent number: 12384174
    Abstract: A printing apparatus includes: a printing unit; an operation unit configured to be able to rotate about a rotation axis to a first operation position and a second operation position; a paper discharge tray configured to be able to move in a front-rear direction; a movement unit configured to move the paper discharge tray; a rotating mechanism configured to cause the operation unit from the first operation position to the second operation position in association with movement of the paper discharge tray; and a control unit, in which the paper discharge tray is able to move to an accommodating position, a loading position, and a stand-by position, when a position of the operation unit is the first operation position and the paper discharge tray moves between the accommodating position and the stand-by position, the rotating mechanism causes the operation unit to rotate from the first operation position to the second operation position, and when a position of the paper discharge tray is the accommodating positio

  • Patent number: 8749828
    Abstract: A facsimile apparatus includes a common setting which specifies whether a report regarding facsimile transmission is to be outputted, or not, and a specific setting which specifies whether an output of the report regarding facsimile transmission is to be permitted, or not, for each of at least one destination of the facsimile transmission. Further, the facsimile apparatus determines whether the report related to a facsimile transmission to at least one destination is to be outputted, or not, by applying the specific setting corresponding to the at least one destination in preference to the common setting. Further, if it is determined that the report related to the facsimile transmission to the at least one destination is to be outputted, the facsimile apparatus outputs the report including information related to the facsimile transmission to the at least one destination.

  • Publication number: 20070192429
    Abstract: A digital composite machine connectable to a server through a network, includes a scanner, a FAX communicator, a printer, an operation panel, and a controller, operable to accept a first processing request from the operation panel and to control the scanner, the FAX communicator and the printer to execute a first processing based on the first processing request, and operable to accept a second processing request from the server and to control the scanner, the FAX communicator and the printer to execute a second processing based on the second processing request. The controller decides whether or not the first processing is being executed when accepting the second processing request from the server, when the first processing is being executed, the second processing request from the server is rejected, and when the first processing is not being executed, after a lapse of a predetermined time period in which any processing is not executed, the second processing is executed.
