Image recording apparatus and feed tray
Abstract
An image recording apparatus includes: a feed tray; a feed roller configured to feed a sheet medium accommodated in the feed tray; and a recording unit. The feed tray includes: a first accommodating part configured to accommodate a rolled body formed by rolling the sheet medium; a second accommodating part configured to accommodate a plurality of sheet media in a stacked state, each of the sheet media being the sheet medium; a contact surface configured to contact, from below, the sheet medium unrolled from the rolled body accommodated in the first accommodating part; and a support member having a support surface configured to support the sheet media accommodated in the second accommodating part. The feed roller is movable between a contact position at which the feed roller contacts the contact surface and a separation position at which the feed roller is away from the contact surface.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . An image recording apparatus, comprising:
a feed tray; a feed roller configured to feed a sheet medium accommodated in the feed tray; and a recording unit configured to record an image on the sheet medium fed by the feed roller, wherein the feed tray includes:
a first accommodating part configured to accommodate a rolled body formed by rolling the sheet medium;
a second accommodating part configured to accommodate a plurality of sheet media in a stacked state, each of the sheet media being the sheet medium;
a contact surface configured to contact, from below, the sheet medium unrolled from the rolled body accommodated in the first accommodating part; and
a support member having a support surface configured to support the plurality of sheet media in the stacked state, which is accommodated in the second accommodating part,
in a state where the second accommodating part is in a posture to accommodate the plurality of sheet media in the stacked state, a position of the second accommodating part relative to the first accommodating part is fixed, the feed roller is configured to be movable between a contact position at which the feed roller contacts the contact surface and a separation position at which the feed roller is away from the contact surface, and the support member is configured to be movable between a first position at which the support member is outside a movement path of the feed roller and a second position at which the support member is on the movement path of the feed roller with the support surface facing upward.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
