Abstract
A printer includes a first flap that switches a path for a paper transported in a transport direction, to one of first and second paths; a second flap provided downstream of the first flap in the transport direction and configured to switch the path for the paper transported through the second path, to one of third and fourth paths; a movable member that moves in a paper width direction orthogonal to the transport direction; and a switching mechanism that switches the first flap between a state where the movable member is disposed at a first position in the width direction and a state where the movable member is disposed at another position and switches the second flap between a state where the movable member is disposed at a second position in the width direction and a state where the movable member is disposed at another position.
Claims7
A printer comprising:
- a first flap that is configured to switch a path for a paper transported in a transport direction, to one of a first path and a second path;
- a second flap that is provided downstream of the first flap in the transport direction, the second flap configured to switch the path for the paper transported through the second path, to one of a third path and a fourth path;
- a movable member that is configured to move in a width direction of the paper, the width direction being orthogonal to the transport direction;
- and
- a switching mechanism that is configured to switch the first flap between a state in which the movable member is disposed at a first position in the width direction and a state in which the movable member is disposed at a position other than the first position in the width direction, and to switch the second flap between a state in which the movable member is disposed at a second position in the width direction and a state in which the movable member is disposed at a position other than the second position in the width direction.
