Title:
FEEDING MECHANISM AND IMAGE FORMATION APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2023080463
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To enable confirmation of a success or a failure of cutting a sheet medium.SOLUTION: When tension is applied to a roll sheet Rp, a feeding roller 2 and an arm 2a, which contact an upper surface of the roll sheet Rp upstream of a cutting portion 4 and a pair of intermediate roller pairs 31 in a transportation path, are lifted up by the roll sheet Rp. At this time, an actuator 73a does not block a light path of a sensor 73b (sensor-OFF-state). When cutting of the roll sheet Rp by the cutting portion 4 succeeds, the feeding roller 2 and the arm 2a are displaced downward as the tension of the roll sheet Rp decreases, and the actuator 73a blocks the light path of the sensor 73b (sensor-ON-state).SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7
