Abstract
A data transmission and receiving apparatus capable of removing a stack of recording sheets that have been ejected. The apparatus includes an image recording mechanism that records an image on a recording sheet, an ejection mechanism that ejects a recording sheet recorded by the image recording mechanism, a sheet tray that accommodates the recording sheet ejected by the ejection mechanism, and a sheet conveyer that is mounted underneath the ejection mechanism and over the sheet tray. The sheet conveyer includes a pair of frames, a plurality of foot members mounted on the bottom surface of the pair of frames, and a sheet conveying mechanism held for rotation between the pair of frames. The sheet conveying mechanism includes a belt that conveys the recording sheet ejected by the ejection mechanism, a drive roller that drives the belt, and an idle roller. The sheet conveyer further includes a drive member that drives the drive roller of the sheet conveying mechanism and a power supply source that applies a power to the drive member.
