Abstract

A printer including a printing unit for printing on a sheet, a cassette containing stacked sheets and located below the printing unit, a supply unit that feeds the sheet from the cassette toward the printing unit, a sheet support plate positioned in the printing unit where the sheet is placed during printing, and an opening formed on the sheet support plate. A cover plate is located in the printing unit and moves between a covering position to cover the opening and an uncovering position to uncover the opening. The cover plate is at the covering position during printing, and the cover plate is at the uncovering position when a pair of feed-out rollers rotates in a reverse direction to guide the sheet through the opening of the sheet support plate to a refeed position between the cassette and the supply unit.
