Abstract
A recording apparatus includes a recording unit, a discharge unit, and a medium receiving unit. The medium receiving unit has a sheet section which is flexible and of which a front-end portion is disposed to be closer to a discharge side of a recording medium than a terminal-end portion. When the medium receiving unit is transited from a serviceable state to an accommodated state, the front-end portion of the sheet section becomes closer to the terminal-end portion of the sheet section and a connection portion between the front-end portion and the terminal-end portion of the sheet section moves to a side opposite to the discharge side.
Claims8
A recording apparatus comprising:
- a recording unit that performs recording on a recording medium;
- a discharge unit that discharges the recording medium on which recording is finished;
- and
- a medium receiving unit that receives the discharged recording medium,
- wherein the medium receiving unit includes a sheet section which is flexible and of which a front-end portion is disposed to be closer to a discharge side of the recording medium than a terminal-end portion, and
- wherein, when the medium receiving unit is transited from a serviceable state to an accommodated state, the front-end portion of the sheet section becomes closer to the terminal-end portion of the sheet section and a connection portion between the front-end portion and the terminal-end portion of the sheet section moves to a side opposite to the discharge side.
