ABSTRACT:
A recording medium identifying device has a medium detecting section including a detecting arm which contacts from outside the outside surface of a package containing recording media inside, the package can freely be inserted into, and taken out of, an device body. The recording medium identifying device comprises: a holder rotatably supported on a first spindle provided on the device body, and a second spindle mounted on the holder; on the second spindle the detecting arm is rotatably supported; on the device body is mounted a moving member which moves in interlock with package insertion. The moving member moves, on the way of package insertion into the device body, to thereby turn the holder in a direction in which the second spindle goes away from the package mounting area, thereby holding the detecting arm in a retreat position where the detecting arm is off the package. After or immediately before the completion of package insertion, the moving member moves to turn the holder, thus moving the second spindle towards the package to enable the detecting arm to detect the medium detecting section of the package.
