Abstract
In a recording device which performs recording on a recording medium, a transport driving roller which carries out transporting of the recording medium as a medium transport roller is formed by processing a plate member into a cylindrical shape. A bonding portion where the pair of edge portions of the plate material are bonded has a transport region, which is a region where at least the recording medium comes into contact with, extends in a straight line shape in a direction which intersects a circumference line.
Claims12
A recording device, which performs recording on a recording medium, comprising:
- a holding unit which holds the recording medium;
- a feeding roller which feeds the recording medium from the holding unit;
- a supporting member which supports the feeding roller and contacts with the feeding roller relative to the recording medium held on the holding unit by rotating around a shaft;
- a recording unit which performs recording on the recording medium in a recording region;
- a reversing roller which reverses the recording medium fed from the holding unit toward the recording unit in a feeding direction;
- and
- a guide path which guides the recording medium recorded by the recording unit toward the reversing roller through the recording region in a direction opposite to the feeding direction so as to reverse the recording medium,
- wherein the supporting member is inclined downward from the shaft to the feeding roller, and the guide path is inclined downward to a bottom of the reversing roller similar to the supporting member.
A recording device, which performs recording on a recording medium, comprising:
- a holding unit which holds the recording medium;
- a feeding roller which feeds the recording medium from the holding unit;
- a supporting member which supports the feeding roller and contacts with the feeding roller relative to the recording medium held on the holding unit by rotating around a shaft;
- a recording unit which performs recording on the recording medium in a recording region;
- a first path which includes a reversing path which reverses the recording medium fed from the holding unit toward the recording unit;
- and
- a second path which guides the recording medium recorded by the recording unit toward the first path through the recording region in a direction opposite to the feeding direction so as to reverse the recording medium,
- wherein the supporting member is inclined downward from the shaft to the feeding roller, and the second path is inclined downward to the first path similar to the supporting member.
A recording device, which performs recording on a recording medium, comprising:
- a cassette which accommodates the recording medium;
- a feeding roller which feeds the recording medium from the cassette;
- a supporting member which supports the feeding roller and contacts with the feeding roller relative to the recording medium held on the cassette by rotating around a shaft;
- a recording unit which performs recording on the recording medium in a recording region;
- a reversing roller which reverses the recording medium fed from the cassette toward the recording unit in a feeding direction;
- and
- a guide path which guides the recording medium recorded by the recording unit toward the reversing roller through the recording region in a direction opposite to the feeding direction so as to reverse the recording medium,
- wherein the supporting member is inclined downward from the shaft to the feeding roller, and the guide path is inclined downward to a bottom of the reversing roller similar to the supporting member.
