  • Publication number: 20220263959
    Abstract: A reading apparatus comprising a lower case, a reading portion, a drive portion and a stay is used. The reading portion moves between an open position in which the lower case is open and a closed position in which the lower case is closed and accommodates a reading sensor. The drive portion moves the reading sensor in a moving direction. The stay is coupled to the reading portion rotatably in one end and coupled to the lower case rotatably in the other end and moves a rotation shaft with in a direction orthogonal to the shaft. The drive portion is located outside a movable range of the reading sensor. When the reading portion is in the closed position, the stay is disposed in an area in which the stay overlaps the drive portion in the moving direction and overlaps the drive portion in height direction.

  • Patent number: 8876418
    Abstract: In a printing system capable of selectively performing duplex printing and simplex printing, a switching unit switches a sheet travel path between a first path and a second path parallel to each other, and reverses the sides of a sheet that passes along the first path. In the duplex printing, a sheet is printed on a first side by a first printing apparatus, reversed by the switching unit, and printed on a second side reverse of the first side by a second printing apparatus. In the simplex printing, only one side of a sheet is printed by the first printing apparatus and/or second printing apparatus. First and second input units introduce sheets into the first and second paths, respectively; and first and second output units receive printed sheets that have traveled along the first and/or second paths.
