Abstract
A recording apparatus includes a carriage for carrying a recording head, a sheet-feeding cassette for holding recording sheets to be recorded, a sheet-discharging cassette for holding recording sheets after recording, and a mounting-and-detaching part for mounting and detaching the recording head to and from the carriage. Loading of the recording sheets to be recorded into the sheet-feeding cassette, unloading of the recording sheets after recording from the sheet-discharging cassette, and mounting and detaching of the recording head to and from the carriage can be performed at a front part of the recording apparatus.
Claims32
A recording apparatus comprising:
- head-carrying means for carrying a recording head which records on recording media;
- first holding means for holding the recording media to be recorded, the recording media being loaded into the first holding means at a front part of the recording apparatus;
- second holding means for holding recording media after recording, the recording media after recording being unloaded from the second holding means at the front part of the recording apparatus;
- a mounting-and-detaching part for mounting and detaching the recording head to and from the head-carrying means, the recording head being mounted and detached to and from the head-carrying means at the front part of the recording apparatus through the mounting-and-detaching part, such that the recording head is mounted to and detached from the head-carrying means by substantially horizontal movement of the recording head;
- and
- a lid for covering the mounting-and-detaching part, wherein the lid is opened by rotation and sliding in the direction in which the recording head is mounted on the head-carrying means.

A recording apparatus comprising:
- head-carrying means for carrying a recording head which records on recording media;
- transfer means for transferring the recording media;
- holding means for holding the recording media to be recorded, the holding means being mounted to the recording apparatus in a direction crossing the direction in which the recording media are transferred;
- a mounting-and-detaching part for mounting and detaching the recording head to and from the head-carrying means, the recording head being mounted through the mounting-and-detaching part in a direction which is the same as the direction in which the holding means is mounted to the recording apparatus and which crosses the direction in which the recording media are transferred, such that the recording head is mounted to and detached from the head-carrying means by substantially horizontal movement of the recording head;
- and
- a lid for covering the mounting-and-detaching part, wherein the lid is opened by rotation and sliding in the direction in which the recording head is mounted on the head-carrying means.
