ABSTRACT:
A recording apparatus in which a heat-sensitive sheet wound in the form of a roll is drawn out for a printing operation is improved in performance in various manners, for instance, by controlling the loading and forwarding of the heat-sensitive sheet, or by controlling the printing means such as thermal printers, or by improving sheet conveying means such as conveying rollers.
Specific features include a two sheet entry path into the recording apparatus, one for accommodating a single sheet and one for accommodating a roll of sheet material. Further, the printing units are arranged in a staggered manner in a transverse direction relative to the delivery direction of the recording material, and each of the printing units has a predetermined main scanning length. In addition, any wandering or meandering of the sheet material can be detected accurately by detecting an angle of a roller arm in contact with the upper surface of the sheet material.
