Scanner apparatus
A scanner apparatus includes a housing including an insertion port into which a medium is inserted, a discharge port from which the medium is discharged, a conveying roller configured to convey the medium inserted from the scanning insertion port, and a scanning unit configured to scan the medium conveyed by the conveying roller. The scanning insertion port and the discharge port are provided on a +Y direction side of the housing. The housing includes a placement face extending in a −Y direction from the scanning insertion port. The placement face, when a first end of the medium is inserted into the scanning insertion port, is able to support a portion of the medium on a second end side opposite to the first end. The first end of the medium is discharged from the discharge port in a direction on the +Y direction side or in a −Z direction.
1. A multifunction apparatus comprising:
a scanning unit configured to scan a scanning medium,
a printing unit configured to perform printing on a printing medium, and
a housing configured to house the scanning unit and the printing unit, wherein the housing includes a scanning insertion port into which a scanning medium to be scanned is inserted, a scanning discharge port from which the scanning medium scanned is discharged, and a printing discharge port from which the printing medium printed by the printing unit is discharged;
wherein the housing includes:
a first surface where the scanning insertion port is placed, and
a second surface that extends in a direction intersecting the first surface and that is arranged adjacent to a first end side of the first surface, wherein the scanning discharge port and the printing discharge port are placed in the second surface.
2. The multifunction apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:
the first surface of the housing includes a placement face that extends from the scanning insertion port to a second end side that is opposite to the first end side, wherein the placement face, when a first end of the scanning medium is inserted into the scanning insertion port, is configured to support a portion of the scanning medium on a second end side opposite to the first end.
3. The multifunction apparatus according to claim 2 ,
the housing further comprising:
an accommodating unit configured to accommodate a printing medium wound into a roll shape, and
an accommodating unit cover, wherein
a conveying path along which the medium is conveyed extends in a direction from the scanning insertion port to the scanning discharge port, and
the accommodating portion is provided on the first surface side of the housing on the second end side, and
an outer surface of the accommodating unit cover is included in the placement face.
4. The multifunction apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein
the scanning discharge port is positioned vertically lower than the placement face and the scanning insertion port of the housing.
5. The multifunction apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a holding mechanism configured to hold the medium inserted from the scanning insertion port, wherein:
the housing includes an assisting symbol for assisting determination of an insertion position of the medium relative to the scanning insertion port, and
the holding mechanism and the assisting symbol are provided on the first end side of the housing.
6. The multifunction apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a scanning unit cover including the scanning unit or a region facing the scanning unit, wherein:
the scanning unit cover is movable to a first position that allows the medium to be scanned by the scanning unit, and to a second position that causes a scanning position by the scanning unit to be exposed, and
when the scanning unit cover is positioned in the first position, an outer surface of the scanning unit cover is included in the second face.
7. The multifunction apparatus according to claim 6 , further comprising:
an accommodating unit configured to accommodate a printing medium wound into a roll shape; and
an accommodating unit cover, wherein
an outer surface of the accommodating unit cover is included in the first face.
8. The multifunction apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the scanning unit cover is configured to pivot to the first position and the second position about a pivoting shaft.
9. The multifunction apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein a length of the scanning unit cover in an axial direction of the pivoting shaft is greater than a length of the scanning unit cover in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction.
10. The multifunction apparatus according to claim 8 , further comprising:
a conveying roller configured to convey a medium inserted from the scanning insertion port to the scanning position, wherein
an axial direction of the pivoting shaft is parallel with an axial direction of the conveying roller,
the pivoting shaft is positioned on a vertically downward direction side of the scanning unit cover, and
the scanning unit is positioned on a vertically upward direction side of the pivoting shaft when the scanning unit cover is positioned in the first position.
