Abstract
A printer includes an apparatus main body including a recording head, and a duplexing unit configured to be removable with respect to the apparatus main body and forming a reverse transport path in which a sheet fed from the recording head side is reversed. The sheet width (for example, width of A4 short side) able to be transported to a region opposing the recording head through the reverse transport path is smaller than the width (for example, width of A4 long side) of the manual supply path, and in a case where the sheet on which recording is performed warps in the width direction, the extent of the warping is restricted to a predetermined range.
Claims17
A recording apparatus that performs recording on a medium, comprising:
- a first feeding portion that feeds a medium;
- a recording portion that performs recording on a medium;
- a first transport path that transports a medium towards the recording portion from the feeding portion, and performs recording on a surface of a medium;
- a second transport path that is a path for reversing the medium, on the surface of which recording is performed, and for performing recording on the rear surface, and is a branched path from the first transport path,
- wherein the width of the second transport path is narrower than the width of the first transport path.
A recording apparatus that performs recording on a medium, comprising, in an apparatus main body:
- a recording portion that performs recording on the medium;
- a first feeding portion that includes an insertion port for the medium, and that is able to feed the medium inserted from the insertion port to the recording portion;
- and
- a second feeding portion that includes a mounting stand on which a plurality of sheets of the medium is mountable in a stacked state, and that is able to feed the medium from on the mounting stand to the recording portion,
- wherein the first feeding portion is provided on a side in the opposite direction to a side where the medium is discharged, and
- wherein the maximum dimension of the medium in the width direction that intersects the feeding direction of the medium fed from the first feeding portion is larger than the maximum dimension of the medium in the width direction that intersects the feeding direction of the medium fed from the second feeding portion.
