Abstract
A recording device includes a recording head for recording on a sheet; a first paper roll accommodating part for accommodating the first paper roll; a second paper roll accommodating part for accommodating the second paper roll; and a conveyance mechanism for conveying a sheet unwound from the first paper roll or a sheet unwound from the second paper roll to the recording head. The first paper roll accommodating part is provided inside the device body and is capable of being pulled to the outside of the device body by being slid in relation to the device body; and the second paper roll accommodating part is provided outside the device body, and can be rotated in relation to the device body.
Claims6
A recording device comprising:
- a device body forming a chassis;
- a recording head configured to record on a sheet unwound from a first paper roll or a second paper roll, the recording head being provided inside the device body;
- a first paper roll accommodating part including an accommodating body that defines a space so that at least a part of the first paper roll is placed within the space;
- a second paper roll accommodating part configured to accommodate the second paper roll;
- and
- a conveyance mechanism configured to convey a sheet unwound from the first paper roll or a sheet unwound from the second paper roll to the recording head,
- the first paper roll accommodating part being provided inside the device body, and at least the accommodating body being configured to be pulled to the outside of the device body by being slid in relation to the device body along a linear direction, and
- the second paper roll accommodating part being provided outside the device body and attached to the device body, and the second paper roll accommodating part being configured to be rotated in relation to the device body independently of sliding of the first paper roll accommodating part,
- wherein a first slide position at which the first paper roll accommodating part is accommodated inside the device body, and a second slide position at which the first paper roll accommodating part is pulled to the outside of the device body can be selected as the position of the first paper roll accommodating part with respect to the device body,
- wherein a first rotation position at which the second paper roll accommodating part interferes with the first paper roll accommodating part when the first paper roll accommodating part is being slid to the second slide position, and a second rotation position at which the second paper roll accommodating part does not interfere with the first paper roll accommodating part when the first paper roll accommodating part is at the second slide position can be selected as the position of the second paper roll accommodating part with respect to the device body, and
- wherein the accommodating body has a box shape.
