Abstract
A recording apparatus for recording information on a continuous rolled recording medium, said recording apparatus comprising a fixed unit and a movable unit. The continuous rolled recording medium is exchangeable in the open position of said movable unit. A printing head is located in either of said fixed unit or said movable unit and a platen is located in the remaining unit. A pair of feed rollers are located downstream of said printing head and said platen with respect to a feeding direction of said recording medium. One of said feed rollers located in said fixed unit is displaceable between a contact position contacting with the other feed roller located in said movable unit when said movable unit is in the closed position and a release position separate from the other feed roller outside a locus of an outer profile of said movable unit. When said movable unit is closed an end portion of said continuous rolled recording medium can be set between said printing head and said platen and between said pair of feed rollers.
