Abstract:
A first feeding unit is configured that is provided in a first printing unit that includes a first recording unit that executes a recording operation for a long strip-like recording medium pulled out from a first holding unit that holds the recording medium in a wound state. The first feeding unit further includes a pair of feeding rollers that sort the recording medium discharged from the first printing unit, to the side of a second printing unit stacked on the first printing unit or to the side opposite to that of the second printing unit. The first feeding unit temporarily accommodates the sorted recording medium and thereafter, feeds the recording medium to a guide path, and sorts the recording medium fed by the pair of feeding rollers, to the side of the second printing unit using a sorting part.

Claim (Index 11):
A feeding unit provided in a printer that includes a holding unit that holds a long strip-like recording medium in a wound state and a recording unit that executes a recording operation with respect to the recording medium pulled out from the holding unit, the printer cutting off and discharging the long strip-like recording medium on which the recording operation has been executed, the feeding unit comprising:\n a sorting part that sorts the recording medium discharged from the printer, to a side of a second printer stacked on the printer and having a configuration identical to a configuration of the printer, or to a position different from the side of the other printer; a guiding part that guides the recording medium sorted by the sorting part to the side of the second printer, to be supplied to a position to which a second recording medium held by the second printer is pulled out, the guiding part guiding the recording medium along a direction identical to a direction to pull out the second recording medium; and a feeding part that accommodates the recording medium sorted to the position different from the side of the second printer by the sorting part, the feeding part accommodating the recording medium until a tail end of the recording medium passes through the sorting part, the feeding part feeding the recording medium to the guiding part starting with the tail end, when the tail end passes through the sorting part, wherein the sorting part sorts the recording medium fed by the feeding part, to the side of the second printer.
