The feeding tray includes a first accommodation part in which a roll body having a configuration where a sheet-shaped medium is rolled in a roll shape is accommodated and a second accommodation part in which stacked sheet-shaped media are accommodated. The first guide member guides a sheet-shaped medium to a conveying path. The second guide member guides a roll medium unrolled from the roll body to the conveying path. The second guide member is movable between a guide position for guiding the roll medium to the conveying path, and a retreat position further distant from the first guide member than the guide position and where the second guide member does not interfere with a sheet-shaped medium accommodated in the second accommodation part.

Abstract: An image recording apparatus includes a conveyer, a cutter, a recording engine, a jam handling detector, and a controller. The conveyer includes a roller pair disposed downstream of the cutter in a conveying direction, configured to nip the recording medium, and configured to rotate in a forward rotation direction to convey the recording medium in the conveying direction. The controller conveys the recording medium such that a leading edge moves from upstream to downstream of the roller pair in the conveying direction after the jam handling detector detecting that a jam handling has been executed, cuts the recording medium conveyed to a position where the leading edge is downstream of the roller pair with the cutter while nipping the leading edge with the roller pair, and does not execute a skew correction when executing the post-jam conveyance.

The second separating member is longer than the first separating member, and the second roller is positioned at the upstream side of the second tray with respect to the first roller in the second direction in a state where no sheet media are accommodated in the first tray and the second tray.

Abstract: An image recording apparatus includes a housing in which a conveyance path is formed, a feed tray insertable into and removable from the housing, configured to accommodate sheet media, and including a first accommodating portion, an image recording portion, a guide member configured to guide one of the sheet media, a stopper movable between a restriction state in which the stopper abuts against a leading end of the sheet medium to prevent the sheet medium from reaching a bank provided and a retraction state in which the stopper is separated from the leading end to allow the sheet medium to reach the guide member, when the feed tray is inserted into the housing, and a flap provided above the sheet media and movable in an up-down direction by pivoting about a given rotation axis.

Abstract: An image recording apparatus includes a housing in which a conveying path is formed, a feed tray insertable into and removable from the housing and including an accommodating portion configured to accommodate sheet media in a stacked state, an image recording unit configured to record an image on one of the sheet media in the conveying path, a guide member provided at a facing portion of the housing which faces an end portion of the feed tray inserted into the housing, and configured to guide one of the sheet media in the accommodating portion to the conveying path, and a separator pivotally provided at the facing portion of the housing and configured to separate the sheet media guided by the guide member one by one.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a conveyor to convey a sheet medium, a print engine to form an image on the sheet medium, a cutter to cut the sheet medium, a signal output device, and a controller. The cutter includes a first blade, a second blade, and a moving device to move at least one of the first and second blades. The controller receives, from the signal output device, a signal indicating a variation over time in a value correlated with a moving load for the at least one blade, and determines, based on the received signal, which state the sheet medium is in among a plurality of states including a first state where the sheet medium is cut normally, a second state where there is an abnormality in cutting the sheet medium, and a third state where there is a different abnormality in cutting the sheet medium.

Abstract: A feed tray configured to accommodate a roll, in which a sheet-shaped medium is rolled in a roll shape, the feed tray includes: a support portion configured to contact an outer peripheral surface of a lower portion of the roll at two support positions with a lower end of the roll being interposed therebetween and to rotatably support the roll; and a path having an inlet disposed between the two support positions and configured to guide the sheet-shaped medium unrolled from the roll. The two support positions are shifted from each other in an upper-lower direction.

Abstract: A feed tray includes a first accommodation part in which a roll body having a configuration where a first sheet-shaped medium is rolled in a roll shape is accommodated, a conveyance guide configured to define a conveyance path for a roll medium which is the first sheet-shaped medium unrolled from the roll body accommodated in the first accommodation part, and a shutter movable between an intercept position where the shutter is located in the conveyance path and a retreat position where the shutter is further from the conveyance path than the intercept position.

Abstract: A feed device includes: a feed tray configured to accommodate a roll, in which a medium is rolled in a roll shape, rotatably; a housing configured to support the feed tray installable; and a pull-back mechanism configured to pull back the medium unrolled from the roll in a direction orthogonal to a rotation axis of the roll in conjunction with an outward movement of the feed tray from the housing in the direction orthogonal to the rotation axis of the roll.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a housing, a feeding tray capable of being inserted into and pulled out from the housing, a feed roller, and one or more detection units. The feeding tray includes a first accommodation part in which a roll body having a configuration where a sheet-shaped medium is rolled in a roll shape is accommodated and a second accommodation part in which a plurality of sheet-shaped media are accommodated in a state of being stacked. The feed roller feeds a sheet-shaped medium from the feeding tray toward a conveying path. The image forming unit forms an image on a sheet-shaped medium provided in the conveying path. The one or more detection units detect whether a sheet-shaped medium is arranged in a predetermined position in the feeding tray.

Abstract: In response to determining that a code image is to be formed such that a particular direction is same as a scanning direction, a controller performs divided recording processing of controlling a head and a carriage to: (a) record a plurality of first portions with liquid ejected from the head during a first movement of the head in the scanning direction; and (b) record a plurality of second portions with liquid ejected from the head during a second movement of the head in the scanning direction. The plurality of second portions are located at an at least partially different position from the plurality of first portions with respect to a conveyance direction. The second movement is a movement in a direction opposite the first movement. The second movement is performed after the first movement without performing conveyance processing between the first movement and the second movement.
