Abstract
A printer comprises a feeding device and a printing device. The feeding device has a substrate, a linkage mechanism, a deskewer, a recovery device and a scrubber. The linkage mechanism is disposed on the substrate and has a pallet used to support the media and moving between an initial site and a predetermined site in parallel. The deskewer is used for deskewing the media located on the pallet, the recovery device is disposed on the linkage mechanism, and the scrubber for feeding the media located on the pallet toward the printing device. Once the media is placed between the pallet and the scrubber or gradually delivered to the printing device by the scrubber, the pallet of the linkage mechanism is downwardly or upwardly shifted in parallel by the compressed recovery device.
Claims33
A feeding device for transmitting media, comprising:
