Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a printing head configured to eject photocurable ink onto a medium, an irradiation portion configured to perform light irradiation of the medium, a mounting portion mounted with the irradiation portion and the printing head in the order from the irradiation portion to the printing head along a first direction, and a driving portion configured to move the mounting portion between a standby position where the printing head stands by and a stop position in the first direction with respect to the standby position. The stop position is a position where the irradiation portion faces the medium.

Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a body portion and a carriage configured to move in a first direction along a first axis and in a second direction along a second axis orthogonal to the first axis. The carriage is mounted with a head configured to eject ink toward a medium and an irradiation unit configured to irradiate the medium with ultraviolet rays arranged side by side in the first direction. The irradiation unit includes a first contact portion and is supported movably in the second direction relative to the head. Movement of the carriage in the second direction brings the first contact portion and a second contact portion provided at the body portion into contact with each other. The irradiation unit moves in the second direction relative to the head as the carriage moves while the first contact portion and the second contact portion are in contact with each other.

Abstract: A printer includes a printing unit that performs printing on a printing medium; a winding unit that winds the printing medium on which the printing is performed by the printing unit; and a frame unit which is positioned between the printing unit and the winding unit on a feeding path of the printing medium, in which in a case where the printing medium is not wound by the winding unit, a receiving member for receiving the printing medium is detachably mounted to the frame unit, and in a case where the printing medium is wound by the winding unit, the receiving member is detached such that the frame unit comes in contact with the printing medium.

Abstract: A medium feeding apparatus includes a feeding roller which feeds a printing medium, a roll holding portion which holds a roll body around which the printing medium is wound, an intermediate roller which pulls out the printing medium from the roll body and feeds the printing medium to the feeding roller, and a controller which synchronizes and controls driving of the feeding roller and the intermediate roller, in which the controller sets a target value in a driving control of the intermediate roller to be greater than a target value in a driving control of the feeding roller, so that tension is not applied to the printing medium between the feeding roller and the intermediate roller, when the feeding roller and the intermediate roller feed the printing medium.

Abstract: The recording device includes a recording unit, a conveying unit, an ejection unit, and a controller. The controller is configured to urge a driven roller of the ejection unit toward a drive roller of the ejection unit by a first load to eject a recording medium while the recording is performed on the recording medium of which a rear end has left the conveying unit, determine whether or not the recording is finished while the driven roller is urged toward the drive roller by the first load, switch the first load to a second load, which is less than the first load, to eject the recording medium on which the recording is finished in response to determining that the recording is finished, and urge the driven roller toward the drive roller by the second load while ejecting the recording medium on which the recording is finished.

Abstract: The recording device includes recording unit for recording on a recording medium, conveying unit for conveying a recording medium upstream of the recording unit in the downstream direction, and an ejection unit for ejecting the recording medium which is downstream of the recording unit and which has undergone recording. The ejection unit has a drive roller and a driven roller urged toward the drive roller, the driven roller is capable of switching between a state of being urged by a first load and a state of being urged by a second load that is lower than the first load, the driven roller is set to the first-load selected state at least during rear end recording in which recording is performed on a rear end region of the recording medium, and the driven roller is set to the second-load selected state during ejection when the recording medium is ejected.

Abstract: A medium cassette includes a slidable cassette pull-out part and is capable of being lengthened and shortened, and a medium tray has a first pull-out part slidably provided to a tray base, the medium tray can be lengthened and shortened, and the medium tray is detachably provided to the top of the medium cassette. The cassette pull-out part is provided with a first engaging protrusion and a second engaging protrusion which engage with the tray base, and inclined surfaces are formed on both sides in the detachment direction of these engaging protrusions. The designs of these inclined surfaces, of the heights of the protrusions, and of other features make it possible to perform the operations of lengthening/shortening and installing/detaching the medium cassette and the medium tray separately from the other component's side without restriction, even while the medium cassette and the medium tray are engaged together.

Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a printing medium support unit supporting a printing medium supplied to a print execution area and guiding the transported printing medium. The printing medium support unit includes a support portion supporting the printing medium and defining a predetermined gap between a print head and the support portion. A suction hole disposed in a width direction of the printing medium adsorbs and supports the printing medium on the support portion by applying a suction force to the printing medium. A first recess portion with an ink discharge port is disposed at a position corresponding to a position at an edge of the printing medium of a size which is supposed to be used and receives ink possibly discarded upon executing marginless printing. A first communication passage applies some of the suction force to the first recess portion in a passage independent from the ink discharge port.

Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a printing medium support unit that supports and guides a printing medium supplied to a print execution area. The printing medium support unit includes a support portion supporting the printing medium defines a predetermined gap with a print head. A suction groove is formed concavely on a support surface of the support portion. A suction opening in the suction groove communicates with a suction source. A movable adsorption portion in the suction groove has a suction hole. Before the printing medium is supplied, the movable adsorption portion is located at an upper limit position higher than a support height of the support portion. When the printing medium is supplied, the suction hole is blocked by the printing medium, creating negative pressure, and thus the movable adsorption portion is moved to a lower limit position no higher than the support height of the support portion.
