发明名称 Image recording apparatus
摘要 An image recording apparatus includes: an apparatus casing in which a transport path for transporting a sheet is formed; a first sheet support unit having a first support surface configured to support the sheet; a feed unit configured to feed the sheet supported by the first support surface to the transport path; a second sheet support unit having a second support surface configured to support the sheet; a transport unit configured to transport the sheet from the first and second sheet support units via the transport path; and a recording unit configured to record an image on the sheet transported by the transport unit in the transport path. The first and second sheet support units are arranged on one side surface of the apparatus casing, and the first and second support surfaces are configured to incline with respect to a placement surface on which the apparatus casing is placed.

主权项 1. An image recording apparatus comprising: an apparatus casing in which a transport path is formed, wherein the transport path comprises a straight passage; a first sheet support unit including a first support surface and a third support surface; a feed unit configured to feed a sheet supported by the first support surface and the third support surface to the transport path; a second sheet support unit including a second support surface and a fourth support surface; a transport unit configured to transport a sheet via the transport path, the sheet being either the sheet supported by the first support surface and the third support surface or a sheet supported by the second support surface and the fourth support surface; a recording unit which is positioned in the straight passage and configured to record an image on the sheet which is transported by the transport unit in the transport path; a fixed unit including the first support surface and the second support surface, wherein the fixed unit is fixed to the apparatus casing, and the first support surface and the second support surface are inclined with respect to a placement surface on which the apparatus casing is placed; and a movable unit including the third support surface and the fourth support surface, wherein the first sheet support unit and the second sheet support unit are arranged on one side surface of the apparatus casing, a position of the first support surface relative to a position of the second support surface remains unchanged, and wherein the movable unit is configured to be movable between an inclined state in which the third support surface and the fourth support surface are inclined to be parallel to the first support surface and the second support surface respectively, and an upstanding state in which the third support surface and the fourth support surface upstand to intersect the first support surface and the second support surface respectively.
