A recording means for recording on the recording paper without moving is provided.

(Function) The recording paper is fixedly placed in the recording paper placement section. Then, the recording means moves over the surface of the recording paper to perform recording on the recording paper.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an iRL as an embodiment of the recording device according to the present invention.

This embodiment includes a paper placement section 1, a recording section 3.2 which is pivotally supported on the paper placement section 1 so as to be openable and closable, and a recording section 3.2 disposed on the second paper holding section 2. It is equipped with

A switch 4 is disposed at the upper end of the paper placement section 1. This switch 4 is suppressed by the lower surface of the paper holding part 2 when the paper holding part 2 is closed as shown in FIG.

The paper holding part 2 is provided with a moving groove (not shown) for moving the recording part 3 along the longitudinal direction of the paper holding part 2 (the left-right direction in FIG. 2).

FIG. 3 shows a state in which recording paper 5 is placed on the upper surface of the paper placement section 1. As shown in FIG. A limit switch 6 shown in the figure is attached to the lower part of the recording section 3 in order to detect the leading edge 5a and trailing edge 5b of the recording paper 5. The end 5b is detected.

Note that the limit switch 6 is connected to the recording section 3 or the recording paper 5.
The mounting position is set so that it precedes the recording position P1 of the recording section 3 when moving toward the rear end 5b.

The operation of this embodiment will be explained below.

The second embodiment is used, for example, as a recording means of a facsimile machine, in which case other components of the facsimile machine are housed inside the paper placement section 1.

In this facsimile machine, the received image information is temporarily stored in a storage means (not shown), and the stored image information is displayed on a display means (not shown).

Then, the operator opens the paper presser 2, sets the recording paper 5 on the top surface of the paper placement section 1 as shown in FIG. 3, and then closes the paper presser 2.

When the paper holding part 2 is closed, the switch 4 is actuated, thereby putting the hook/millimetre device into a state capable of recording i'+J. Then, when the operator operates an operation button for starting recording (not shown), the moving mechanism is activated and the movement of the recording section 3 is started.

When the recording section 3 starts moving and the limit switch 6 detects the leading edge 5a of the recording paper 5, the recording elements of the recording section 3 are activated and recording on the recording paper 5 is started.

Thereafter, the recording section 3 records the image information on the recording paper 5 without passing over the recording paper 5. When the rear end 5b of the recording paper 5 is moved to the position detected by the limit switch 6, the recording element is turned off based on the detection signal of the J',) Mi1h switch 6, and at the same time the direction of movement is reversed. be done. Then, the retano operation of the recording section 3 is completed,
When the limit switch 0 detects the leading edge 5a of the recording paper 5, the movement of the recording section 3 is stopped.

Note that if the operation button for starting recording is operated while the switch 4 is not activated, that is, when the paper holding part 2 is not closed, the recording operation is prohibited and the paper holding part 2 is not closed. A message indicating that the door is not closed or an alarm is displayed on a display means (not shown).

Further, if the limit switch 6 does not detect the leading edge 5a of the recording paper 5 within a predetermined movement distance range after the recording section 3 starts moving, the recording paper 5 may not be set correctly, or the recording paper 5 may is determined not to be set.

In this case, the movement of the recording section 3 is stopped, and
The recording unit 3 is returned to the movement start position, and a message/indicating the result of the judgment is displayed as an alarm on the display means.

Furthermore, the reading device shown in the above embodiment is not only suitable for facsimile machines, but can also be applied to other devices such as copying machines and image scanners.

FIG. 4 shows a facsimile machine which is provided with a movable reading section 7 in addition to the movable recording section 3 described above.

The paper placement section 1 of the second facsimile machine includes the reading section 7.
A moving mechanism (not shown) is provided to move the paper in the longitudinal direction of the paper placement section 1.

FIG. 6 shows a state in which both the recording section 3 and the reading section 7 are located at the movement start position I\, and in the second state, the reading section 7
The reading position is located between the recording position a of the watermark recording section 3 and the detection position C of the limit switch 6.

Since the reception and recording operation in this facsimile machine is as described in the fifth embodiment above, the reading and transmitting operation will be explained below.

The document 8 to be read is the paper placement section for which it is to be read]
The paper holding section 2 is set on the paper holding section 2 so as to be in contact with the upper surface of the paper holding section 2, and then the paper pressing section 2 is closed.

When the paper retainer 2 is closed, the switch 4 is actuated, thereby placing the facsimile machine in a readable state. Then, when the operator operates an operation button (not shown) to start reading, the respective movement mechanisms of the recording section 3 and reading section 7 are actuated to start moving them, and then the recording section 3 and reading section 7 move at a constant speed. In other words, it is moved while maintaining the positional relationship of its own and young as shown in FIG.

When the leading edge 8a of the original 8 is detected by the rimino switch 6 by the movement of the recording unit 3, the reading element of the reading unit 7 is activated and reading of the original 8 is started.

Thereafter, the reading section 7 reads the image information while passing below the document 8, and the read image information is sequentially stored in a storage means (not shown). When the rear end 8b of the original 8 is moved to a position where it is detected by the limit switch 6, the recording element of the reading unit 7 is turned off based on the detection signal of the limit switch 6, and at the same time, the recording element of the reading unit 7 is The moving direction of the parts 7 is reversed and they are returned at a constant speed.

When the return operation of the recording section 3 is completed and the limit switch 6 detects the leading edge 8a of the document 8, the recording section 3 and the reading section 7 are moved or stopped. is located at the movement start reference position described above.

In FIG. 5, the movement loci of the recording section 3 and the reading section 7 are indicated by arrows.

At that time, the operator places a call to the 1 facsimile machine, and after the connection of the facsimile machine is completed, the operator operates a transmission switch (not shown). Thereafter, the read information stored in the storage means is transmitted to the other party's facsimile machine according to well-known communication procedures.

The above-mentioned embodiment having the recording section 3 and the reading section 7 can also perform a copy operation, and this will be explained below.

As shown in FIG. 6, the reading position of the reading section 7 is
It precedes the recording position a of the recording section 3. therefore,
If the recording section 3 and the reading section 7 are moved at a constant speed, the reading operation can be performed prior to the recording operation.

Therefore, when copying the original 8, the recording paper 5 and the original 8 are set on the paper placement section 1 in a superimposed state, as shown in FIG. Of course, in the second case, the manuscript 8
is positioned below the recording paper, and its reading surface faces downward.

After the paper holding part 2 is closed, when a copying switch (not shown) is operated, the movement of the recording part 3 and the reading part 7 is started, and as described above, the limit switch 6 or the recording paper 5 is pressed.
The recording section 3 and the reading section 7 perform recording and reading operations, respectively, from when the leading end 5a is detected to when the trailing end 5b is detected.

As described above, the reading operation of the reading section 7 is performed prior to the recording operation of the recording section 3, and the read image information is temporarily stored in a storage means (not shown) and then sequentially sent to the recording section 3. . Therefore, the image information read by the reading unit 7 is sequentially recorded on the recording paper 5 with a slight time delay, and the copying of the original 8 ends when the limit switch 6 detects the trailing edge 5b of the recording paper 5. do.

Of course, it is also possible to make multiple copies.

In this case, all the image information read by the reading section 7 is temporarily stored in the storage means, and then the number of copies is set by a copy number setting switch (not shown). When a recording switch (not shown) is operated each time recording sheets 5 are sequentially set in the paper placement section 1, the recording section 3 performs a recording operation to copy the recording sheets 5 onto the recording sheets 5.

Note that the above-described recording procedure, reading procedure, copying procedure, etc. are executed by a microprocessor built in the paper placement section 1.

In the embodiment shown in FIG.
It is also possible to provide it on the side. Furthermore, in the embodiment shown in FIG.
This is a two-way uJ function that is provided on the paper holding part 2 side.

[Effects of the Invention] In the present invention, since recording is performed on the recording paper by moving the recording means on the surface of the recording paper that is fixedly arranged, there is no conveyance path for the recording paper. Therefore, even if a paper jam occurs in principle, and even if a recording paper should become jammed between the paper placement section and the self-recording means, the recording paper can be easily removed.
