Abstract: An ink-jet printer includes: a tank including an ink storage chamber and an inlet; a cap which is detachably attachable to the inlet; a cover configured to move between a first position and a second position farther from the inlet than the first position; and an arm configured to locate the cap at an inlet closing position and an inlet opening position. Under a condition that the cap is in the inlet opening position and the cover is in the second position, the arm holds the cap in a state that the cap does not contact with the cover. Under a condition that the cap is in the inlet opening position, a part of at least one of the cap and the arm is in the moving locus of the cover between the first position and the second position.

Abstract: A liquid jetting apparatus includes: a casing; a tank configured to store liquid and having a first side wall and a second side wall which face each other, a rear wall, an inlet, and a connecting portion; a conveying mechanism configured to convey a recording medium along a conveying path extending in a first direction; a carriage configured to move in a second direction in which the first side wall and the second side wall face each other so as to define a movement area having a range in the second direction, the range of the movement area having first and second ends spaced apart in the second direction; a tube connected to the connecting portion; and a head mounted on the carriage and having a nozzle configured to jet the liquid onto the recording medium conveyed by the conveying mechanism.

Abstract: There is provided an ink-jet recording apparatus, including: a casing which is box-shaped, and which has an internal space; a recording head arranged in the internal space, and configured to jet ink droplets; a carriage which is movable, and is arranged in the internal space, and on which the recording head is mounted; and a dust-proof portion arranged between a movable space and an exterior of the casing, the movable space being a space, in the internal space, in which the carriage is movable.

Abstract: A transmitter 10B always transmits a signal (data in which a dock is embedded) generated by the serializer 11 to the communication link. The receiver 20B includes a recovery circuit 22, a deserializer 23, a selector 25, and a training signal generator 32. The training signal generator 32 generates and outputs a training signal for frequency synchronization of the recovering operation of the recovery circuit 22. The selector 25 receives the signal from the transmitter 10B via the communication link and receives the training signal output from the training signal generator 32. The selector 25 selects and outputs either the received signal or the training signal according to the level of the lock signal output from the recovery circuit 22.

Abstract: A liquid-consuming apparatus includes: a tank including a liquid storage chamber which stores a liquid, an inlet formed in a surface of the tank, and an outlet through which the liquid from the liquid storage chamber flows; a cap which is movable between a first position and a second position; a cover which is movable relative to the tank between a closed position and an open position; and a holding member which is connected to the cap and which holds the cap at the second position. The cap at the second position or the holding member is configured to obstruct a movement of the cover from the open position to the closed position.

Abstract: A liquid jetting apparatus includes a casing, a tank formed with a liquid storage chamber which stores liquid, an inlet which allows the liquid to be poured into the liquid storage chamber, and a liquid outflow channel which allows the liquid to flow out from the liquid storage chamber, a conveying mechanism which conveys a recording medium along a conveying path extending in a front-rear direction, a carriage which moves in a left-right direction, and a head mounted on the carriage and having a nozzle which jets the liquid onto the recording medium conveyed by the conveying mechanism. The tank, the conveying path, and the carriage are arranged inside the casing, the tank is arranged outside the conveying path in the left-right direction, and at least a part of the tank is arranged inside both ends of a movement area of the carriage in the left-right direction.
