けばよい。When the cassette 22 is pulled out in the direction of arrow F during jam removal, the rollers 17 move from the holding surface 43c to the inclined surface 43.
e, rolling on the flat surface 43d and the guide surface 43a, the transfer/transport unit 7 rotates counterclockwise around the support shaft 52 under its own weight, retreats into the mounting section 23, and comes into contact with the stopper 50. Stop. At this point, all you have to do is remove the jammed recording material.

In addition, the products are not limited to sheet-like ones, but also spherical,
They may be cylindrical, rod-shaped, or linear, or may be articles that are irregularly stored in the cassette without being stacked.

化を防止できる。Since the present invention is constructed as described above, it is possible to move the conveyance section to the mounting section and eliminate the jam of conveyance of articles. Therefore, there is no need to provide a space in the main body of the apparatus solely for moving the transport section, and it is possible to prevent the main body of the apparatus from increasing in size.
