Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An ink jet printer is a multifunctional recording apparatus in which a scanner unit is coupled to a recording unit in a rotationally movable manner. The scanner unit includes a protrusion. A carriage, the protrusion, and a rotational movement shaft of the scanner unit are arranged in this order from the unit front side to the unit rear side in the unit depth direction.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A recording apparatus comprising: a recording unit that includes: a first paper feed tray that is provided at a bottom portion, an inverse path that inverts a medium fed from the first paper feed tray, a carriage that is movable in a scanning direction, a recording head that is provided in the carriage and performs recording on the medium transported from the inverse path, and a second paper feed tray that is provided at an upper rear portion of the recording unit and converges in the inverse path, and a scanner unit that is provided at an upper side of the recording unit and is rotated about a rotational shaft so as to open and close the upper side of the recording unit, wherein the rotational shaft is overlapped with the second paper feed tray and the inverse path in a height direction. 2 . The recording apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the rotational shaft is overlapped with the second paper feed tray in a depth direction. 3 . A recording apparatus comprising: a recording unit that includes: a first paper feed tray that is provided at a bottom portion, an inverse path that inverts a medium fed from the first paper feed tray, a carriage that is movable in a scanning direction, a recording head that is provided in the carriage and performs recording on the medium transported from the inverse path, a second paper feed tray that is provided at an upper rear portion of the recording unit, a second paper feed path that includes the second paper feed tray and converges in the inverse path, and a scanner unit that is provided at an upper side of the recording unit and is rotated about a rotational shaft so as to open and close the upper side of the recording unit, wherein the rotational shaft is overlapped with the second paper feed path and the inverse path in a height direction. 4 . The recording apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the rotational shaft is overlapped with the second paper feed path in a depth direction.
