Abstract
A recording apparatus includes a recording section configured to perform recording onto a medium, a facing section facing a recording surface of a medium at a discharge position where the medium recorded by the recording section is discharged, and a light emitter configured to emit light toward the recording surface. The facing section includes an optical member disposed at a position where the light emitted by the light emitter enters, the optical member being configured to pass the incident light toward at least the recording surface.
Claims18
A recording apparatus comprising:
- a recording section configured to perform recording onto a medium;
- a facing section facing a recording surface of a medium at a discharge area where the medium recorded by the recording section is discharged;
- and
- a light emitter disposed on an inside of a front panel configured to emit light toward the recording surface, wherein
- the facing section includes an optical member disposed at a position where the light emitted by the light emitter enters, the optical member being configured to pass the incident light toward at least the recording surface, wherein the optical member contains a light-diffusing agent and has optical transparency.
A recording apparatus comprising:
- a recording section configured to perform recording onto a medium;
- a facing section facing a recording surface of a medium at a discharge area where the medium recorded by the recording section is discharged;
- a light emitter configured to emit light toward the recording surface;
- a tray on which a medium is to be set, the tray being configured to be inserted upstream in a medium transport path from an apparatus front;
- and
- a detector configured to detect insertion of the tray to a position at which the tray is transported,
- wherein
- the facing section includes an optical member disposed at a position where the light emitted by the light emitter enters, the optical member being configured to pass the incident light toward at least the recording surface, and
- when the detector detects insertion of the tray to the position at which the tray is transported, the lighting state of the light emitter changes.
