Abstract:
A medium supply apparatus supplying a rolled medium includes a tension member contacts to the medium to apply a tension to the medium, a state switching part that switches states of the tension member between first and second states, and a control unit. The tension member is swingable between a first position at which a first corner angle (θ1) and a second position at which a second corner angle (θ2) is formed, the second corner angle (θ2) being greater than the first corner angle (θ1). The control unit causes the state switching part to switch the state of the tension member to the fixed state in the first position when the medium is supplied, the control unit causes the state switching part to switch the state of the tension member to the releasing state in the first position when the control unit does not receive an image forming start signal for a predetermined period, and the control unit causes the state switching part to switch the state of the tension member to the fixed state when the tension member reaches the second position.

Claim (Index 9):
The medium supply apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a first position sensor that detects the first position of the tension member, and a second position sensor that detects the second position of the tension member, wherein when the first position sensor detects the first position, the control unit causes the state switching part to switch the state of the tension member from the releasing state to the fixed state, when the second position sensor detects the second position, the control unit causes the state switching part to switch the state of the tension member from the releasing state to the fixed state.
