Abstract: A printer includes a gap adjustment unit that displaces a carriage in a Z-axis direction in which a gap changes. The gap adjustment unit has a sliding member that moves in a width direction integrally with the carriage, and a cam member that is interposed between the carriage and the sliding member and has a stepped portion in which a maintenance surface that maintains a position of the carriage in the Z-axis direction and an adjustment surface that changes the position of the carriage in the Z-axis direction are alternately arranged in the width direction. The gap adjustment unit is configured such that the cam member slides in the width direction with respect to the carriage and the sliding member to change the gap. The gap adjustment unit includes a buffer unit that decreases a displacement speed of the carriage in the Z-axis direction when the gap is reduced.

Abstract: In an image reading apparatus, a controller detects a plurality of detection points along a first edge, sets one of the detection points arranged along the first edge which is closest to a center of a sheet placement area in a second axial direction, and determines a reference read position in the second axial direction, based on the selected detection point. Furthermore, the controller detects a plurality of detection points along a second edge, sets one of the detection points arranged along the second edge which is closest to a center of the sheet placement area in a first axial direction, and determines a reference read position in the first axial direction, based on the selected detection point.

Abstract: A recording device includes a transport unit, a medium supporting member, and a recording head. The transport unit includes transport roller pairs and discharge roller pairs. The discharge roller pair includes a discharge driving roller and discharge driven rollers provided downstream of the medium supporting member in a transport direction. The transport unit includes a first roller and a second roller, which are an example of a guide roller provided downstream of the medium supporting member in the transport direction and on the same upper side as the discharge driven roller with respect to a transport path of a medium. The first roller and the second roller are provided on either side of the discharge roller pair in the transport direction, and a lower end of at least one of the first roller and the second roller is positioned lower than an upper end of the discharge driving roller.
