Description

  The present invention relates to a recording apparatus.

There is a recording apparatus in which a printed image is formed on a lens sheet provided with a lenticular lens having a plurality of convex lenses and the lens sheet is viewed from the lenticular lens side so that the image can be viewed as a stereoscopic image. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a dedicated recording apparatus that forms a printed image by ejecting ink onto a lens sheet including a lenticular lens.
A dedicated recording apparatus that forms a print image on a lens sheet is limited in the printable recording medium, which increases the manufacturing cost of the recording apparatus. Therefore, for example, it is conceivable to form a print image on a lens sheet using a recording apparatus having a paper cassette at the bottom of the apparatus main body as in Patent Document 2.

  However, such a recording apparatus is provided with a conveyance path that is curved from the lower part to the upper part of the apparatus main body on which the paper cassette is disposed and further toward the recording unit side. Therefore, a lens sheet provided with a lenticular lens formed of resin or the like does not bend flexibly, so that the lens sheet stops on a curved conveyance path, or the lens sheet is damaged. For this reason, there is a problem that a print image cannot be formed on a lens sheet using a recording apparatus including a paper cassette.

  As indicated by solid line arrows A1 and A2, the sheet passes through the sheet reversing unit 100 and is conveyed downstream (right side in the drawing) by the roller pairs 105 and 108 along the member 114 constituting the conveying surface. An image is formed on one recording surface of the conveyed paper at a position facing the liquid ejecting head 113.

  As indicated by the solid line arrow A3, the sheet is in a state where the swinging member 117 is in the rotational position indicated by the solid line and the conveyance path is opened. Along the downstream side.

  Then, the sheet is conveyed to the upstream side (left side in the drawing) by the reverse rotation of the roller pair 111. At this time, the swinging member 117 is rotated to the position indicated by the broken line, the conveying path on the member 114 side is closed, and the conveying path on the member 116 side is opened. , And conveyed along the member 116 constituting the conveying surface. Then, the sheet passes through the curved path of the sheet reversing unit 100 again, passes through a position facing the liquid ejecting head 113, and an image is formed on the other recording surface.
