Abstract

A recording apparatus includes a recording portion configured to record an image on a recording medium; a discharge port configured to discharge the recording medium, on which the image is recorded, in a discharge direction; and a receiving member located below the discharge port in a direction of gravity and configured to receive the recording medium discharged from the discharge port. The recording apparatus further includes a housing portion configured to be movable between a receiving position which is on a side spaced apart from the discharge port in the discharge direction and in which the housing portion holds one end of the receiving member to receive the recording medium, and a housing position which is on a side further toward the discharge port than the receiving position. The housing portion is configured to house at least a part of the receiving member.

First claim

1 - 17 . (canceled)

18 . A recording apparatus comprising:
a set portion configured to set a roll sheet formed by rolling a sheet; a recording portion configured to record an image on the sheet supplied from the roll sheet set in the set portion; a discharge portion configured to discharge the sheet, on which the image is recorded by the recording portion, in a discharging direction, the discharge portion being provided above the set portion; a receiving member configured to receive the sheet discharged from the discharge portion; and a moving portion configured to move in a horizontal direction so that the receiving member is able to be in a first state in which the receiving member receives the sheet and a second state in which the receiving member does not receive the sheet.

19 . The recording apparatus according to claim 18 ,
wherein in a case that the receiving member is in the second state, the entirety of the receiving member is housed in an apparatus main body.

20 . The recording apparatus according to claim 18 ,
wherein in a case that the receiving member is in the first state, the receiving member receives the sheet between a first end portion on a downstream side with respect to the discharging direction and a second end portion on an upstream side with respect to the discharging direction.

21 . The recording apparatus according to claim 20 ,
wherein in a case that the receiving member is in the first state, the first end portion is supported on an outside of an apparatus main body by a support mechanism.

22 . The recording apparatus according to claim 20 ,
wherein in a case that the receiving member is in the first state, the second end portion is above the set portion.

23 . The recording apparatus according to claim 18 ,
wherein in a case that the receiving member is in the first state, the receiving member covers at least a part on a front side of the set portion with respect to the discharging direction.

24 . The recording apparatus according to claim 18 ,
wherein the moving portion includes an exterior surface that forms a part of an exterior portion of the recording apparatus.

25 . The recording apparatus according to claim 24 ,
wherein the exterior surface is formed of plate like members.

26 . The recording apparatus according to claim 18 ,
wherein the moving portion is configured to be slidable on rails.

27 . The recording apparatus according to claim 18 , further comprising:
a second set portion configured to set a roll sheet formed by rolling a sheet, the second set portion being provided below the set portion.

28 . The recording apparatus according to claim 18 ,
wherein in a case that the receiving member is in the first state, the lowest part of the receiving member is below the set portion.

29 . The recording apparatus according to claim 18 ,
wherein the recording portion records the image on the sheet by ejecting ink from a print head.
