Patent ID: 8480071

Claim:
A recording device comprising: a feed roller configured to feed a first sheet and a second sheet sequentially; a first conveying device configured to convey the first sheet and the second sheet and disposed downstream from the feed roller in a conveying direction, wherein the first conveying device comprises a first driving roller and a first driven roller facing each other; a recording device configured to perform image recording on the first sheet and the second sheet and disposed downstream from the first conveying device in the conveying direction; a second conveying device configured to convey the first sheet and the second sheet in synchronization with the first conveying device and disposed downstream from the recording unit in the conveying direction, wherein the second conveying device comprises a second driving roller and a second driven roller facing each other; and a controller configured to control operations of the feed roller, the first conveying device, the second conveying device, and the recording device, wherein the controller is configured to: stop the first conveying device and the second conveying device when a trailing end of the first sheet reaches a particular position downstream from the first conveying device and upstream from the second conveying device after image recording on the first sheet by the recording unit is complete; control the feed roller to feed the second sheet, such that a leading end of the second sheet contacts a nip between the first driving roller and the first driven roller of the first conveying device in a stopped state; stop the feed roller after the leading end of the second sheet contacts the nip between the first driving roller and the first driven roller; rotate the first driving roller, which is in contact with the leading end of the second sheet, in a reverse direction opposite the conveying direction by an amount of rotation, such that the trailing end of the first sheet does not reach the first conveying device; and control the recording device to perform image recording on the second sheet conveyed in the conveying direction by the first conveying unit.
