Abstract: Embodiments described herein are to a printer which includes a platen roller configured to be rotary-driven by a rotary drive source, and a transport roller provided at the upstream side of the platen roller in a paper feeding direction. The transport roller is configured to be rotary-driven by the rotary drive source. The printer further includes a pinch roller configured to be elastically urged against the transport roller. The pinch roller is configured to be rotary-driven by the rotary drive source.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein are to a conveying device which includes a conveying mechanism configured to convey a mount with a web material provided thereon in a conveying direction; and an abutting member including an edge portion extending in a widthwise direction intersecting with the conveying direction and configured to allow the edge portion to abut against the mount.

Abstract: A winding attachment which is detachably mounted on a winding shaft and on which a strip-shaped material is wound when the winding attachment mounted on the winding shaft is rotated. The winding attachment includes a winding section on which the strip-shaped material is wound, and an elastic member configured to reduce diameter of the winding section in the radial direction of a rotation axis of the winding shaft if the winding attachment is separated from the winding shaft compared to the diameter in case that the winding attachment is mounted on the winding shaft.

Abstract: A media stocker includes: a paper feeding table configured to support plural recording media in a stacked state; a lifting and lowering mechanism configured to lift and lower the paper feeding table; a bottom plate attached to the paper feeding table and configured to receive the recording media placed thereon and support the recording media such that a downstream side end in a conveying direction of the recording media on the paper feeding table moves up and down relatively to an upstream side end in the conveying direction; and a control section configured to make an angle of the bottom plate adjustable such that a surface of the recording medium at the top extends along a direction substantially orthogonal to a lifting and lowering direction of the paper feeding table.

Abstract: A media stocker includes a feeder plate configured to maintain a plurality of recording media in a stacked state thereon, a vertically elevating device configured to cantilever-support the feeder plate, and a guide member disposed vertically to face a free end of the feeder plate and configured to guide the recording media stacked on the feeder plate. And the media stocker includes a roller attached to the free end side of the feeder plate and rotatable around a horizontal shaft, the outer circumferential surface of the roller being in contact with the guide member at a position higher than the position of the uppermost support point of the feeder plate by the elevating device.

Abstract: The present invention provides a printer that includes a clearance gauge which is made of resin, and has formed thereon a cut at the sliding range of platen rollers, which cut extends in a direction perpendicular to the sliding direction. The width of the cut is set up by taking the maximum step raised in printing operations into consideration. In addition to forming the cut, the member has formed thereon an opening that communicates with the cut.

Abstract: Electrophotographic light-sensitive member having a protective coating on a photoconductive layer of the light-sensitive member, said protective coating consisting of an organic high polymer containing Lewis acid.

Abstract: The present invention provides a photosensitive material for use in electrophotography which is superior in durability, resistance to solvents and light sensitivity, which comprises a photoconductive layer consisting essentially of an inorganic or organic photoconductor and an ionizing radiation-curable resin as formed on a conductive support, said photoconductive layer having been cured by applying said radiation.

Abstract: Electrophotographic light-sensitive member having a protective coating on a photoconductive layer of the light-sensitive member, said protective coating consisting of an organic high polymer containing Lewis acid.

Abstract: A photosensitive material comprising a conductive support provided with a photoconductive layer and a protective layer, wherein the protective layer contains an organic aluminum compound.
