PRINTER

摘要

In a device for recording an image while pulling back a recording sheet, a component of the device touches the slack portion of the recording sheet produced by pulling back thus causing a damage to the surface of the recording sheet. Such a device as having a brake means provided for a dancer roller and a recording sheet roll has a complicated mechanism and causes a variation in load in carrying the recording sheet to degrade a recording quality. A sheet feed roller pair for feeding the recording sheet to a carry roller pair is arranged between the carry roller pair for feeding or pulling back the held recording sheet fed out from a recording sheet roll and the recording sheet roll. A color recording section for forming a color image on the recording sheet while pulling back the recording sheet is arranged on the downstream side in the sheet feeding direction of the carry roller pair. A guide member for guiding the recording sheet in an almost arcuate shape so as to provide an included angle narrower than 90° is arranged between the sheet feed roller pair and the carry roller pair, and a retreat space for containing the slack of the recording sheet is arranged on the outside of the guide member wherein the guide member is pivotally supported to select by rotating opening or closing of the retreat space.
