A recording apparatus has a main body case housing a printing head. A recording-paper insertion slot is formed in the upper surface of the case and a recording paper discharge slot is formed in the side surface of the case. A pair of stop levers are mounted on the upper surface so as to be pivotable between standing and horizontal positions. A part of the upper surface is used as a continuous-recording-paper receiving portion on which the recording paper is placed and is led to the insertion slot. The standing stop levers contact the insertion-slot-side end of the recording paper to hold it in its predetermined posture or position and restricts the movement of the recording paper toward the insertion opening.

Compact portable recording apparatus with thin, flat case, and which

The invention provides an original reading apparatus which is small in overall thickness, light in weight and easy to hold by hand. The original reading apparatus includes a body case in the form of a flattened casing in which a power source and an electric controlling section to which power is supplied from the power source are contained. The body case has an original insertion opening formed in a wall thereof, and an original passageway is formed in the body case and communicated with the original insertion opening. An original reading section is disposed in the original passageway, and an operating section is mounted on the body case such that an operating face thereof is disposed on a surface of the body case. The original reading section and the operating section are disposed in a juxtaposed relationship in a horizontal position at a substantially same height.

Portable original reading apparatus

A recording apparatus comprises a recording unit disposed in a case and including support members for supporting a platen a printing head and a sheet feed guide having an outlet situated near a region between the platen and the printing head an an inlet situated on the side of the rolled recording sheet loaded in the case, the sheet feed guide serving to guide the recording sheet from the inlet toward the outlet, thereby delivering the sheet to the region between the platen and the printing head the support members support the sheet feed guide and is rockable between a recording position, where the inlet of the sheet feed guide faces the recording sheet, and a sheet insertion position, where the inlet of the guide faces on opening of the case. The printing head is disengaged from the platen when the support members are brought to the sheet insertion position. A swing cover is swingably mounted on the case and movable between a closed position, where at least part of the opening is closed to cover the recording unit, and an open position where the opening is opened to expose the recording unit.
