Image recording apparatus

Abstract

The image recorder has a carrier section to carry a continuous medium (12) to store images recorded by an image recording section with a given tensile force and at a given speed, a cutting section (20) having a cutting roller (30) and an anvil roller (34) that are arranged in opposition to each other to allow the continuous medium (12) to be cut while rotating at a fixed rotation speed, a carrier section (17) having a pair of nip rollers (18) for carrying while sandwiching the recording medium (12) toward the cutting section (20) and a pair of guiding rollers (22) that are arranged among a pair of nip rollers (18) and the cutting section (20) to guide while sandwiching the recording medium (12) to the cutting section (20), and a control section (25), which performs a control that temporarily stops or decelerates a pair of guiding rollers (22) to temporarily decrease a carrier rate of the recording medium (12) to the cutting section (20), and that guides the recording medium (12) to be able to be cut into a short-cut paper (131) shorter than a normal paper, and starts or accelerates the guiding rollers (22) in a later given timing to guide the recording medium (12) to be able to be cut into a long-cut paper (132) longer than a normal paper.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image recording device for recording an image by fixing ink on a recording medium such as paper or film. Background technique [0002] There is known an image recording apparatus that records a color image by ejecting ink onto a recording medium that is a continuous form of paper or film wound into a roll or a recording medium that has been cut in advance to a predetermined size (cut paper). [0003] In the image recording apparatus described above, when the paper is a cut sheet, while conveying the recording medium at a high speed of tens to hundreds of m / min, for example, recording different content on each recording medium forming each page. image. Furthermore, when the paper is a continuous medium on which an image is recorded, the paper is cut into sheets and discharged. [0004] Here, various methods are known as job classification methods for cut sheets cut into predetermined lengths. For example, there is ...

Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, in Patent Document 1, when cutting sheets of a predetermined length are piled up and stacked continuously, since the sheets are all the same size, it is difficult to identify each job, for example.

In addition, although a method of marking the end surface of the paper with a mark for
