Abstract

See full text

A recording apparatus includes a drive source, a medium receiving tray, a clutch, and a load applying unit. The medium receiving tray is configured to be driven by the drive source that is a motor having a cogging torque. The clutch is configured to idle when a predetermined amount of torque or more is applied, and provided to a power transmission pathway between the drive source and the medium receiving tray. The load applying unit is configured to apply a rotational load to a rotational body in the power transmission pathway closer to a side of the drive source than the clutch. The rotational load applied to the rotational body is set to a magnitude causing the clutch to idle before a rotational shaft of the motor rotates against the cogging torque when the medium receiving tray is operated by applying an external force to the medium receiving tray.
