Abstract
A recording medium transport device includes a medium accommodation section that accommodates a recording medium, a medium path that is a path through which the recording medium fed out from the medium accommodation section passes, a merging path that merges with the medium path and that is a path through which the recording medium fed out from another accommodation section different from the medium accommodation section passes in a case of heading for the medium path, and a processor configured to transport the recording medium fed out from the medium accommodation section to an upstream side in the merging path through the merging path, reverse a transport direction of the recording medium, and transport the recording medium to the medium path.
Claims15
A recording medium transport device comprising:
- a medium accommodation section that accommodates a recording medium;
- a medium path that is a path through which the recording medium fed out from the medium accommodation section passes;
- a merging path that merges with the medium path and that is a path through which the recording medium fed out from another accommodation section different from the medium accommodation section passes in a case of heading for the medium path;
- and
- a processor configured to transport the recording medium fed out from the medium accommodation section to an upstream side in the merging path through the merging path, reverse a transport direction of the recording medium, and transport the recording medium to the medium path.
A recording medium transport device comprising:
- an accommodation section that accommodates a recording medium;
- a first medium path through which the recording medium fed out from the accommodation section passes and that is located on one region side of two regions that face each other with a plane interposed between the two regions, the plane extending along a feeding direction of the recording medium and passing through the fed out recording medium;
- a second medium path through which the recording medium fed out from the accommodation section passes and that is located on the other region side of the two regions;
- and
- a processor configured to reverse a transport direction of the recording medium transported one medium path of the first medium path or the second medium path, and transport the recording medium, of which the transport direction is reversed, to the other medium path.
A recording medium transport device comprising:
- a medium accommodation section that accommodates a recording medium;
- a medium path that is a path through which the recording medium fed out from the medium accommodation section passes;
- a merging path that merges with the medium path and that is a path through which the recording medium fed out from another accommodation section different from the medium accommodation section passes in a case of heading for the medium path;
- and
- means for transporting the recording medium fed out from the medium accommodation section to an upstream side in the merging path through the merging path, reversing a transport direction of the recording medium, and transporting the recording medium to the medium path.
