Patent ID: 8152391

Claim:
A recording device comprising: a feed tray configured to store a plurality of sheets; a first conveying path configured to convey a sheet of the plurality of sheets in a first direction; an arm having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, and configured to swing around a predetermined pivot to which the first end is attached; a feed roller rotatably attached to the second end of the arm and configured to feed the sheet from the feed tray to the first conveying path; a recording unit disposed in the first conveying path and configured to record an image onto the sheet being conveyed in the first conveying path; a second conveying path disposed between the predetermined pivot and the feed tray, and configured to guide the sheet in a second direction, to an upstream side of the recording unit in the first conveying path; a path changing unit disposed at a downstream side of the recording unit in the first conveying path and configured to selectively move between a first position wherein the path changing unit is configured to discharge the sheet, and a second position wherein the path changing unit is configured to convey the sheet to the second conveying path, wherein the arm is configured to selectively move between a third position wherein the feed roller contacts the sheets in the feed tray, and a fourth position wherein the feed roller is disposed above the second conveying path, wherein the first direction is substantially opposite to the second direction, and wherein the recording device further comprises a supply roller rotatably attached to the arm at a position closer to the predetermined pivot than the feed roller, and configured to feed the sheet guided by the second conveying path to the upstream side of the recording unit in the first conveying path when the arm is in the fourth position.
