Abstract: A peeling device includes a driving roller that transports backing paper and a drive transmission mechanism that transmits driving force from a driving motor to the driving roller. The peeling device also includes a peeling plate (a peeling portion) located between the driving roller, and a printhead and platen (a printing section) in a transport path of the backing paper, and bends the transport path. The drive transmission mechanism includes a first torque limiter and a second torque limiter. The drive transmission mechanism changes to a first state in which the first torque limiter is included between the driving roller and the driving motor in a transmission system of the driving force or a second state in which the second torque limiter is included therebetween.

Abstract: An inkjet printer for printing labels includes: a first interface configured to receive, from a host computer, print data for images to be printed on the labels; a second interface configured to receive, from a sequencer, a first signal indicating a timing to execute a printing operation that includes printing the images, and a second signal indicating a timing to execute a predetermined operation that cannot be executed in parallel with printing the images; and a controller configured to: render the print data received via the first interface, and execute the printing operation based on the rendered print data at a timing based on the first signal received via the second interface, and execute the predetermined operation at a timing based on the second signal received via the second interface.

Abstract: A winding device includes a winding shaft that rotates and winds a print medium conveyed from a printing device having a conveyance roller that conveys the print medium, a gear, and a motor driving the conveyance roller and the gear. The winding device also includes a power transfer mechanism to connect to the gear and transfer power to the motor, and a lever disposed between the winding shaft and the conveyance roller in a conveyance path in a configuration in which the winding device is connected to the printing device. The lever may be moved between a first position in which the print medium bends and a second position in which the print medium bends at a shallower angle than at the first position.

Abstract: The winding device has a winding shaft 205 that rewinds roll paper S conveyed from a printer 100, which has a conveyance unit 115 that conveys the roll paper S; a power input unit 206 to which power from the conveyance unit 115 is input; a winder-side power transfer mechanism that transfers power input to the power input unit 206 to the winding shaft 205; and a lever 208 that can move between a first position P1 where the lever 208 bends the conveyance path of the roll paper S from the printer 100 to the winding shaft 205, and a second position P2 where the lever 208 bends the conveyance path a shallower angle than at the first position P1, and to which is applied a force moving the lever 208 toward the first position P1.

Abstract: Swinging open the upstream-side cover part (31) and downstream-side cover part (32) of the check scanning apparatus (1) on a common support pivot (33) opens a U-shaped check transportation path (5). The check transportation path (5) can be opened with a simple single-action operation to remove checks (4) jammed in the check transportation path (5) and for maintenance of the magnetic head (84) and contact image sensors (82 and 83). When the task is completed, the open check transportation path (5) can also be returned to the original closed position by a simple single-action operation. If only those parts that require maintenance are exposed when the check transportation path is open, tasks that require opening the transportation path can be done without damaging other parts and without soiling the operator's fingers.

Abstract: A recording apparatus is provided. A recording head performs recording on a recording medium. A conveyance roller conveys the recording medium in a conveyance direction. A conveyance path includes a curved portion which guides the recording medium and curves the recording medium in a downstream of a nip portion between the recording head and the conveyance roller in the conveyance direction. A discharge portion discharges the recording medium. A detecting unit is located apart from the conveyance path. The detecting unit detects the recording medium which deviates from the conveyance path as the recording medium is drawn into and along the conveyance roller near the curved portion of the conveyance path. A controller rotates the conveyance roller backwards by a predetermined amount to convey the recording medium backwards when the recording medium is detected by the detecting unit, and then rotates the conveyance roller forwards by at least the predetermined amount.

Abstract: A check processing device accurately detects if the check storage unit is full. The check storage unit 10 of a check processing device 1 has first and second storage pockets 13 and 14. A first vertical pressure plate 54, 64 and a second vertical pressure plate 55, 65 for holding the checks conveyed into the storage pockets 13 and 14 are disposed to the storage pockets 13 and 14. The first vertical pressure plates 54 and 64 are displaced according to the total thickness of the checks stored in the storage pockets 13 and 14. Using detection mechanisms 80 and 90 having an interrupter 81, 91 disposed to the corresponding first vertical pressure plate 54 and 64, and a photosensor 82, 92 for detecting the corresponding interrupter, the total thickness of the checks stored in the storage pockets 13 and 14 can be detected, and whether the storage unit is full can be detected from this total check thickness.

Abstract: A first in-feed roller (49) and a pressure roller (80) are disposed to the first check storage unit (11) of a check processing apparatus (1). A first pressure member (85) that is urged toward the first in-feed roller (49) is pivotably attached to the pressure roller (80). When a check (4) is conveyed and the check (4) moves completely passed the nipping position (49A) of the first in-feed roller (49), the trailing end (4d) part of the check (4) is pressed by the first pressure member (85) to the first in-feed roller (49). The check (4) is thus dependably fed into the check storage unit, the trailing end (4d) of the check is pushed sideways by the first pressure member (85), and the trailing end (4d) will not interfere with the next check (4).

Abstract: A thermal printer enables both duplex printing and simplex printing. A double-sided thermal printer 1 has a first arm 31 and a second arm 32 that opens and closes in conjunction with the first arm 31. A first platen roller 21 is mounted on the first arm 31, a second thermal print head 12 is mounted on the second arm 32, and a first thermal print head 11 and second platen roller 22 are disposed on the printer frame 30 side. When the operating cover 3 closes, the second thermal print head 12 on the second arm 32 is pressed against the second platen roller 22, the first platen roller 21 on the first arm 31 is pressed to the first thermal print head 11, and the double-sided thermal paper 6 can be set with no slack. For simplex printing, the paper transportation load can be reduced by pressing only the first platen roller 21 on the first arm to the first thermal print head 11.

Abstract: A label printing apparatus having a label peeling mechanism determines the appropriate time to run a process for setting the paper. Paper having a plurality of labels continuously affixed to a web liner is loaded inside the label printing apparatus when a main cover is open. A peeling mechanism cover is attached and openable from the main cover. When opened, the paper is routed through one path or another to exit the printer from one or another exit depending on whether or not the peeling mechanism is used. A control method for this printer has a step of waiting for a switch to be pressed by an operator after the operator puts the paper inside the label printer and closes the main cover, and a step of executing a paper setup process when the switch is pressed.
