Abstract
A media conveying apparatus includes a feed table on which a medium is placed, a conveyor to convey the medium placed on the feed table, a sensor to detect floating of the medium conveyed by the conveyor, an ejector to eject the medium conveyed by the conveyor, an ejection tray located above the feed table to stack the medium ejected by the ejector, and an extension tray connected to a downstream side of the ejection tray in a media ejection direction. In a state where the medium ejected from the ejector is stacked on the ejection tray and the extension tray, a lower end portion of the extension tray on an upstream side in the media ejection direction is located closer to the feed table than a lower end portion of the ejection tray on a downstream side in the media ejection direction.
Claims8
A media conveying apparatus, comprising:
- a feed table on which a medium is placed;
- a conveyor to convey the medium placed on the feed table;
- a sensor to detect floating of the medium conveyed by the conveyor;
- an ejector to eject the medium conveyed by the conveyor;
- an ejection tray located above the feed table to stack the medium ejected by the ejector;
- and
- an extension tray connected to a downstream side of the ejection tray in a media ejection direction,
- wherein, in a state where the medium ejected from the ejector is stacked on the ejection tray and the extension tray, a lower surface of the extension tray and a lower surface of the ejection tray face the feed table, to guide the medium conveyed by the conveyor to the sensor, and a lower end portion of the extension tray on an upstream side in the media ejection direction is located closer to the feed table than a lower end portion of the ejection tray on a downstream side in the media ejection direction.
A media conveying apparatus, comprising:
- a feed table on which a medium is placed;
- a conveyor to convey the medium placed on the feed table;
- a sensor to detect floating of the medium conveyed by the conveyor;
- and
- a guide to guide a rear end of the medium conveyed by the conveyor to the sensor so that the rear end comes into contact with the sensor,
- wherein the guide has a guide face with no step, and
- wherein the sensor projects from the guide.
A media conveying apparatus, comprising:
- a feed table on which a medium is placed;
- a conveyor to convey the medium placed on the feed table;
- a sensor to detect floating of the medium conveyed by the conveyor;
- an ejector to eject the medium conveyed by the conveyor;
- and
- a tray located above the feed table to stack the medium ejected by the ejector,
- wherein,
- the tray includes:
- a base;
- and
- an attachment connected to at least one of a left side or a right side of the base,
- a lower surface of the base and a lower surface of the attachment face the feed table, to guide the medium conveyed by the conveyor to the sensor,
- a lower end of the base is located closer to the feed table than a lower end of the attachment,
- lower left and right end portions of a projection of the base projecting more downstream than the attachment in a media ejection direction have no step, and
- a lower end portion of the attachment on a downstream side in the media ejection direction have no step.
