Recording medium feeding apparatus

摘要

A recording medium feeding apparatus used in a facsimile have a bi-directional motor and first and second one-way clutches to transmit rotational forces of the motor in the both directions to first and second feed rollers, respectively, so that these rollers move a thermal sensitive paper and a printed sheet on a printing head and an image sensor, at transmitting and reception modes of the facsimile. At a copy mode of the facsimile, the motor's rotational force in the one direction is transmitted through the first clutch to the first roller, and is not transmitted through the second clutch to the second roller but transmitted through a transmitting route switching mechanism utilizing a planet gear to the second roller.
