Abstract

Abstract Perforations are formed at predetermined positions of a rolled record paper to facilitate cut out of the record paper at the predetermined positions. A perforating wheel for forming the perforations is made of a plurality of materials to enhance durability and reduce a cost. The positions of the perforations on the record paper are set at front and rear edges of a recorded image or at an area between recorded images so that the record paper is properly cut out.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 126 words
A recording apparatus for recording an image on a recording sheet comprising: means for transporting the recording sheet along a path; means located along a path for recording the image on the recording sheet in response to an image signal; perforation means located along the path and having tooth edges for forming perforations in the recording sheet; cutting means located downstream of said perforation means with respect to a direction in which said sheet is transported, for cutting said sheet; and control means for controlling said perforation means such that perforations are formed at a desired margin between recorded images and such that in response to a decision to end processing, perforations are again formed after the last formed perforations are transported to said cutting means.
