Abstract: The present invention relates to a print system, such as an ink jet printer, which performs printing on a medium, such as a sheet that is transported.

Abstract: A medium, of which skew is appropriately corrected, is fed from an intermediate unit to a post processing unit so as to suppress an adverse effect of the skew of the medium in the post processing unit.

Abstract: There is provided an intermediate unit including a transportation path along which a paper sheet, on which printing has been performed by a printing unit that performs printing on the paper sheet as a medium by using liquid, can be transported to a post processing unit that performs post processing on the paper sheet, in which the transportation path is provided with a drying unit that accelerates the drying of the paper sheet.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a print system, such as an ink jet printer, which performs printing on a medium, such as a sheet that is transported.

Abstract: A printer is provided with a discharging head that discharges ink, a supporting base that supports a medium, and a cap that receives an ink droplet discharged from the discharging head at the time of maintenance (flushing) implementation. The supporting base and the cap are moved between an ascending position (a supporting position and a flushing position) facing the discharging head along different moving routes and a retractable position. When positions of the supporting base and the cap are replaced with each other so as to perform the flushing during the printing, if the supporting base is firstly retracted from the supporting position, and then a first sensor which detects the supporting base is turned on, the cap ascends from the retractable position. After the flushing, if the cap firstly descends, and then a second sensor which detects the cap is turned on, the supporting base starts to ascend.
