ABSTRACT:
A facsimile apparatus designed for reduced power consumption, a smaller number of component parts, smaller size, lighter weight and lower cost includes an original reading section having a contact-type line image sensor and a first biasing roller driven so as to be rotated in a state in which the contact-type line image sensor is biased, a recording section arranged in the vicinity of the original reading section and having a line thermal head and a second biasing roller driven so as to be rotated in a state in which the line thermal head is biased, a driving mechanism in which a reversible motor is used as a drive source, a rocking mechanism for driving solely the first biasing roller when the motor is rotatively driven in one direction and driving both the first and second biasing rollers when the motor is rotatively driven in the other direction, and a power transmission mechanism in which the rocking mechanism is arranged in a power transmission system for driving the first and second biasing rollers. The rocking mechanism drives solely the first biasing roller at the end of each operation (transmission, reception, copying), with the second biasing roller being made free and independent of the power transmission mechanism. As a result, recording paper clamped between the second biasing roller and the thermal head can be pulled out with ease.
