Abstract: A recording apparatus has a recording medium feeding mechanism for feeding a recording medium by one at a time, a recording head for performing recording, a discharging roller having a discharging driven roller and a discharge driving roller and a recording medium stacker capable of being changed to a first position in which recording is performed on a hard recording medium and a second position in which recording is performed on a recording medium fed by the recording medium feeding mechanism, wherein the discharging driven roller is in contact with the discharge driving roller in case the recording medium stacker is in second position, and the discharging driven roller is separated from a recording medium transfer path in case the recording medium stacker is in first position.

Abstract: A printer shaped like a slim box includes a carriage which reciprocates in a main scanning direction on its front section. Ink cartridges separately from the carriage are detachably provided in an ink cartridge unit in a row in the main scanning direction above a main scanning area of the carriage. The ink cartridge unit is designed to retreat from an area in the vicinity of the main scanning area of the carriage by sliding in a backward direction of the printer, whereby maintenance work can be easily performed when a trouble (e.g. paper jam) occurs in a recording paper transfer path via an area below a bottom section of the carriage.

Abstract: A recording apparatus includes: a feeder, provided in an upstream in a transfer path for transferring a medium, for feeding the medium to a downstream in the transfer path one by one, the medium being stacked at an angle; a recording head, provided in the downstream of the feeder, for performing recording for the medium; a carriage, on which the recording head is mounted, for reciprocating in a main scanning direction along a carriage guide axis; a transfer roller for transferring the medium by rotating, the transfer roller including a transfer-driving roller and a transfer-driven roller; a stacker having a medium-placed surface, the stacker being positioned at a first position allowing the medium to be substantially horizontally fed from the medium-placed surface to a position under the recording head and be substantially horizontally discharged from the position under the recording head onto the medium-placed surface, or a second position for receiving and stacking the medium fed by the feeder, the second p

Abstract: A flexible beltlike member in which a plurality of ink channels are formed interconnects a carriage and an ink cartridge. A first turn unit is formed in the flexible beltlike member, wherein the turn unit is in U shape seen from top. A carriage side holding apparatus for holding the beltlike member in the carriage includes a holder unit operable to change position of the flexible beltlike member from a horizontal position to a vertical position by making the flexible beltlike member extend from the carriage in a substantially horizontal position, by bending the turn unit at center of the U-shaped construction, and by maintaining the bent construction so that a side extending from the bend to the ink cartridge is perpendicular to a side extending to the carriage.

Abstract: An apparatus for mounting electronic components includes a moving rail for moving a substrate back and forth, a plurality of part feeders disposed along a side of the moving rail, a plurality of transfer head guide rails installed in a direction orthogonal to a moving direction of the substrate along the moving rail, and a plurality of transfer heads fitted to each of the transfer head guide rails for picking up, transferring and mounting onto the substrate the electronic components from the part feeders while moving along the transfer head guide rails. In a method of mounting electronic components, the electronic components are picked up from part feeders disposed along a side of the moving rail by a nozzle of the transfer head which moves along the transfer head guide rail disposed orthogonally to the moving rail, transferred and loaded onto a substrate while the substrate is moved along the moving rail.
