Ink-jet printing apparatus

摘要

An ink-jet printing apparatus permits sequential ejection of printed papers (27) without causing stain by non-dried ink, improves printing quality and permits down-sizing of the overall apparatus by simplifying a construction of a paper ejecting mechanism (10). An ink-jet printing apparatus includes a paper ejecting roller (11) rotatable in a first direction for ejecting said printing medium and a second direction opposite to said first direction and an arm member (15) arranged between said paper ejecting roller and said ejected paper stacker and movable between a first position projecting above said ejected paper stacker for supporting said printing medium from a lower side thereof, and a second position retracted from the position above said ejected paper stacker and permitting falling down of said printing medium. The ink-jet printing apparatus further includes motion force transmitting means (11b, 12b) for transmitting rotation of said paper ejecting roller in said first direction as a motion force for moving said arm member toward said first position and transmitting rotation of said paper ejecting roller in said second direction as a motion force for retracting said arm member toward said second position, and control means (23) for driving said paper ejecting roller in said first direction in advance of ejection of said printing medium for projecting said arm member to said first position via said motion force transmitting means and driving said paper ejecting roller in said second direction for retracting said arm member in said second direction.
