ABSTRACT:
A paper magazine to be loaded in an image recording device contains a roll of recording paper, and is provided with a transport mechanism to feed the recording paper out of the paper magazine with holding a leading end of the recording paper. The transport mechanism includes a drive roller and a belt mechanism. The belt mechanism is composed of a pair of pulleys, separated by a particular interval, and a flat belt to encircle the pulleys. The drive roller contacts with the flat belt in the center, pressing it to bend. Making surface contact with the recording paper between the flat belt, the drive roller transports the recording paper without slipping.
