ROLL PAPER UNIT AND IMAGE FORMATION APPARATUS

Title:

ROLL PAPER UNIT AND IMAGE FORMATION APPARATUS

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/1998/030482

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

When a roll paper unit (200) is incorporated into an image formation apparatus, a second outlet guide member (92) is turned around a pivot (92a) in the direction of an arrow G, i.e., moved from a position of solid lines to a position of two-dot chain lines, a rear end portion (92b) of this second outlet guide member (92) pressing down a front end portion (80c) of a guide member (80) to cause the guide member (80) to be turned around a central shaft (80d) in the direction of an arrow H, i.e., moved from a position of solid lines to a position of two-dot chain line. Consequently, a path extending in the direction of an arrow C is closed, while a path extending in the direction of an arrow F is opened, the roll paper (72) being transferred in the paper feed direction. When the roll paper unit (200) is drawn out, the second outlet guide member (92) and the guide member (80) are turned in the directions opposite to those mentioned above. Consequently, the path extending in the direction of the arrow F is closed, while the path extending in the direction of the arrow C is opened, the roll paper (72) being transferred in the paper discharge direction.
