Abstract: A liquid ejecting device includes a transporting belt configured to transport a medium, a head configured to eject a liquid onto the medium, a first gripping portion configured to grip the first end portion of the transporting belt, and move in the transport direction, and a second gripping portion configured to grip the second end portion of the transporting belt, and move in the transport direction. When the head is positioned outside the transporting belt with respect to the second end portion, the first gripping portion performs a first operation of gripping the transporting belt and moving to a predetermined position, and releasing the gripped transporting belt. When the head is positioned outside the transporting belt with respect to the first end portion, the second gripping portion performs a second operation of gripping the transporting belt and moving to a predetermined position, and releasing the gripped transporting belt.

Abstract: A liquid discharging apparatus 1 includes a carriage 2 configured to reciprocate relative to a medium, and a plurality of discharging units 4 attached to the carriage 2 and configured to discharge liquid onto the medium. At a plurality of replacement positions in a reciprocation direction B of the carriage 2, the carriage 2 allows the plurality of discharging units 4 to be replaced. At the plurality of replacement positions for the carriage 2, a discharging unit to be replaced, among the plurality of discharging units, is accessible from downstream in a discharge direction C of the liquid.

Abstract: A liquid ejecting apparatus in which a cleaning performance with respect to a transport belt is improved while suppressing a rise in cost of the apparatus is provided. A liquid ejecting apparatus is provided with a transport belt which transports a recording medium, and a cleaning unit which cleans the transport belt. The cleaning unit can move between a cleaning position and an evacuation position, and is positioned at the cleaning position using positioning pins which are provided in a frame unit as a housing, and a groove portion which is provided in the cleaning unit.

Abstract: A transporting device includes a first driving roller which transports the base material; a second driving roller which is disposed to be closer to a downstream side of the transporting direction than the first driving roller, and transports the base material; a driven roller which nips the base material between the second driving roller and the driven roller, and rotates together with the second driving roller; and an inter-roller transporting path which is provided between the first driving roller and the second driving roller, and through which the base material is transported in a state where the base material is suspended in a direction of gravity and bent. The second driving roller starts winding the base material at a position which is closer to an upstream side of the transporting direction than a position where the driven roller is in contact with the base material.

Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a belt mover for an endless belt which carries out a line feed of a recording medium, a feed amount calculator that calculates an amount of belt feed of the belt mover, and a movement amount measurer that measures actual amount of movement of the endless belt by image processing. The feed amount calculator calculates the amount of belt feed by which the endless belt is to be fed, on the basis of the amount of belt feed by which the endless belt has been fed and the actual amount of movement of the endless belt measured by the movement amount measurer. The belt mover moves the endless belt by the amount of belt feed calculated.

Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a belt mover for an endless belt that transports a recording medium, a feed amount calculator that calculates an amount of feed of the belt mover, a movement amount detection sensor as a movement amount measurer that measures actual amount of movement of the endless belt by image processing, a compensation table storer that stores a compensation table for compensating a transport error of the endless belt, and a control portion that calculates the amount of feed that is to bring about a predetermined amount of movement of the endless belt by using the feed amount calculator and by referring to the compensation table storer, moves the endless belt by using the belt mover on the basis of the amount of feed, compares the actual amount of movement of the endless belt measured by the movement amount detection sensor and the predetermined amount of movement.
