Recently, an image recording device using a laser beam, a so-called laser printer, has been developed and put into practical use. An example of a laser printer is a laser printer that modulates a laser beam based on an electrical signal containing image information and scans a recording medium such as a photoreceptor, film, or photographic paper to first form image information in the form of a latent image on the recording medium. Then, it is recorded as a visible image by electrophotographic processing or photographic development processing, and a typical optical scanning system is shown in FIG. In the figure, 1 is a laser device that generates a laser beam, such as a semiconductor laser;
2 is a mirror, 3 is a lens that narrows down the beam diameter, 4-piece acousto-optic modulator, 5 is a lens that returns the beam diameter to the original value, and 6 is an acousto-optic modulator 4 that is driven by an image information signal S. 7 is a beam expander that expands the diameter of the laser beam, 8 is a rotating polygon mirror (usually called a polygon) that rotates at high speed and scans the beam on the photoreceptor.
, 9 is an fθ lens (f is the focal length of the lens) that forms an image at a distance proportional to the incident angle θ with respect to the optical axis, and 1o is a photosensitive drum having a photosensitive surface 10a made of selenium or the like on its surface as an example of a recording medium. Rotates at a constant speed in the direction.

As described above, the present invention provides a laser recording device that records image information using a laser beam on a roll-shaped recording medium fed from a supply magazine and winds the face-touch recording medium in a winding magazine. After setting the supply magazine in the main body, the VC was set to automatically feed the roll-shaped recording medium in the supply magazine until it becomes ready for recording before recording, so the recording medium can be loaded as before. However, the recording medium is automatically fed at the image information recording position 1, and the recording medium is automatically fed at the image information recording position 1, and the recording medium is automatically fed in the light-shielded state inside the supply magazine. This is done automatically, so you can set it up in a bright room. Therefore, it is easy to install the recording medium, and since the recording medium is not exposed to external light, there is no wastage of the recording medium due to setting. The cutter is installed inside the feeding mechanism, so you can cut all the necessary recorded parts at any position. Furthermore, since consideration has been given to the distance in the running direction of the recording medium feeding mechanism of the stubbed fence, it is possible to reduce wasted portions of the recording medium due to cut-offs. What's great is that the recording medium feeding mechanism only has to bend the feeding method at the main roller, and the other parts have a straight feeding path, so the feeding of the recording medium is smooth. , so that the recording medium can run smoothly during recording.
