Abstract:
A printer includes a recording medium holding unit that holds a long, wound strip-like recording medium to enable the recording medium to be pulled out from a front end thereof, a recording unit that pulls out the recording medium held by the recording medium holding unit to a side higher in a vertical direction than a position for pulling out from the recording medium holding unit and that executes a recording operation for the pulled-out recording medium, and a second cutter mechanism disposed under the recording medium holding unit and that cuts the recording medium for which the recording operation is executed by the recording unit at the back end thereof separated from the front end by a predetermined length. A drawing position of the recording medium into an inversion path is arranged to be lower than the recording medium holding unit and the recording unit in the vertical direction.

Claim (Index 1):
A printer comprising:\n a recording medium holding unit that holds a long, wound, strip-like recording medium so as to enable the recording medium to be pulled out starting with a front end on an outer circumference side thereof; a recording unit that pulls out the recording medium held by the recording medium holding unit to a position higher in a vertical direction than a position for pulling out from the recording medium holding unit, the recording unit performing a recording operation for the recording medium that is pulled out; a cutting unit that is disposed beneath the recording medium holding unit in the vertical direction, the cutting unit cutting the recording medium at a back end of the recording medium for which the recording operation is executed by the recording unit, the back end being separated from the front end by a predetermined length; a first switching unit that includes a first switching member selectively positioned at a front side recording position connecting a position for recording by the recording unit and the position for pulling out, and at an inversion position connecting a position for cutting by the cutting unit and the position for pulling out, the first switching unit positioning the first switching member at the front side recording position or the inversion position; an inverting unit that includes an inversion path that draws in from the front end, the recording medium cut off by the cutting unit, the inverting unit discharging the recording medium drawn into the inversion path to an exterior of the inversion path starting with the back end thereof; and a second switching unit that includes a second switching member selectively positioned at an inversion start position connecting a drawing position to draw the recording medium into the inversion path and the position for the cutting, and at the back side recording position connecting the drawing position and the recording position, the second switching unit positioning the second switching member at the inversion start position or the back side recording position, wherein the drawing position is arranged to be lower than the recording medium holding unit and the recording unit in the vertical direction.
