Abstract: A printer that performs high-precision residual-ink detection regardless of various movements accompanying print operation and facsimile apparatus using the printer. When an ink cartridge reciprocates along a main-scanning direction, ink surface of ink 91 varies depending on a moving direction and moving condition (stationary state, uniform motion, accelerated motion and decelerated motion) of the ink cartridge. Accordingly, the residual-ink detection is controlled such that a residual-ink amount can be detected by using photosensor 11 and reflection board 93, at the same detection timing (e.g., always at timing of uniform motion).

Abstract: A facsimile apparatus comprises a housing constituting the outer surface of the facsimile apparatus, an original reading section for conveying an original between a first opening portion formed in a front portion of the upper surface of the housing and a front surface opening portion formed in the front surface of the housing, and a recording section for inserting a recording sheet through a second opening portion formed in the upper surface of the housing at a position closer to the rear side than the first opening portion and for discharging the recording sheet through the first opening potion. A cut sheet can be inserted/discharged through each opening portion. Since the first opening portion is commonly used for both an original and a recording sheet, the depth of the housing can be reduced. In addition, the housing can be designed to be flat and compact so as to be easily carried. The apparatus further includes a storage portion for a battery detachably set through a side surface on the rear side of the housing. A cut sheet can be inserted/discharged through each opening portion. Since the first opening portion is commonly used for both an original and a recording sheet, the depth of the housing can be reduced. In addition, the housing can be designed to be flat and compact so as to be easily carried. Furthermore, the apparatus can be used in a place where no commercial power supply is available, by receiving power from a battery.

Abstract: A thermal transfer recording apparatus for recording an image on a recording medium (11) by transferring ink on an ink sheet (14) onto the recording medium (11) is provided with a loading unit for the ink sheet (14), a means (17, 18) for conveying the ink sheet, a means (12, 16) for conveying the recording medium, a detection means for detecting the loading of the ink sheet and a recording means (13). When the detection means detects that the ink sheet is loaded into the loading unit, the ink sheet (14) is conveyed by a predetermined amount by the ink sheet conveying means so as to take up the slack on the ink sheet.

Abstract: A thermal transfer recording apparatus for transferring an ink contained in an ink sheet (14) onto a recording medium (11) to record an image on the recording medium (11), includes a take-up roller (18) for taking up the ink sheet, a driving unit for driving the take-up roller to take up the ink sheet, and a control unit for controlling a drive amount of the driving unit to maintain an almost constant conveyance ratio of the ink sheet to the recording medium in correspondence with a change in take-up amount by the take-up roller.
