Abstract: A reading apparatus includes a cover configured to pivot to an open position and a closed position, a lock mechanism configured to restrict the cover in the closed position from pivoting to the open position, and a reading unit provided in the cover or in a member facing the cover in the closed position, and configured to read a medium when the cover is in the closed position. The cover includes a protruding portion. A latch face configured to come into contact with a face of the protruding portion facing toward one direction along a first axis when the cover is in a closed position, the first axis being orthogonal to a pivoting shaft of the cover. The latch face is configured to move in the other direction along the first axis when the latch moves from a lock release position to a lock position.

Abstract: A transport apparatus includes: a support unit that supports a roll; a drive unit that rotates the support unit; a cover configured to cover at least part of the support unit; and a load applying unit that applies a load to the support unit, wherein the cover is movable between a closed position at which the cover covers at least part of the support unit and an open position which is different from the closed position, and the load applying unit applies a large load to the support unit when the cover is located at the closed position compared with the case where the cover is located at the open position.

Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a printing portion, a transport portion a medium support portion disposed on an upstream side of a recording head, and a removal portion that includes a first contact portion, which comes into contact with the printing surface when a medium is supported by the medium support portion. The removal portion is spatially separated from the medium support portion at both a section on the upstream side of the first contact portion and a section on the downstream side of the first contact portion. An interval between the removal portion and the medium support portion becomes wider in tandem with progression toward a direction opposite to the transport direction on the upstream side in the transport direction of the first contact portion, and becomes wider in tandem with progression toward the transport direction on the downstream side in the transport direction of the first contact portion.

Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a roll-out motor that rotates a roll body supported by a roll body support unit, a feed roller pair that transports a paper drawn from the roll body, and a load measuring unit that measures a rotation load of the roll body when the roll body is rotated at a low speed and a rotation load of the roll body when the roll body is rotated at a high speed. A rotation angle range in which the roll body is rotated at the high speed is greater than a rotation angle range in which the roll body is rotated at the low speed. In one rotation of the roll body, at least a part of the rotation angle range of the roll body rotated at the low speed overlaps with the rotation angle range of the roll body rotated at the high speed.
