Recording apparatus with stopper device

摘要

A recording apparatus includes a recorder, a conveyer, a holder, a stopper, an urging member, a light source, and a light controller. The recorder records an image on a recording medium at a recording position. The conveyer conveys a recording medium through the recording position and outputs the recording medium along an output direction. The holder holds a recording medium output by the conveyer. The stopper is disposed downstream of the holder along the output direction and contacts an end of a recording medium when the recording medium is output and the stopper is in a first position. The stopper moves between the first position and a second position, in which an end of the stopper is farther to the holder. The urging member urges the stopper to move to the first position from the second position. The light controller controls the light source to illuminate the stopper.

主权项

1. A recording apparatus comprising:
a recorder configured to record an image on a recording medium at a recording position; a conveyer configured to convey a recording medium through the recording position and to output the recording medium along an output direction; a holder configured to hold a recording medium output by the conveyer; a stopper disposed downstream of the holder along the output direction,
wherein the stopper is configured to contact an end of a recording medium when the recording medium is output by the conveyer and the stopper is in a first position, andwherein the stopper is configured to move selectively between the first position and a second position, in which an end of the stopper is farther to the holder than when in the first position; an urging member configured to urge the stopper to move to the first position from the second position; a light source configured to illuminate the stopper; and a light controller configured to control the light source, wherein the light source is disposed on an extension line of the stopper when the stopper is in the first position, the extension line extending in substantially the vertical direction through the stopper when the stopper is in the first position, wherein the stopper is made of transparent resin, and wherein a surface of the stopper is grained.
