Abstract: A printer includes a dryer to send an airflow toward a recording medium. The dryer includes a first fan, a second fan, a heater, a first intake port, a first exhaust port with an opening facing toward a platen, a second intake port with an opening facing toward a guide, and a second exhaust port with an opening facing toward the guide. The first fan is operable to draw air through the first intake port, and discharge air toward the platen through the first exhaust port. The second fan is operable to draw air through the second intake port, and discharge air that has been heated by the heater through the second exhaust port.

Abstract: An ink jet recording apparatus is presented. The ink jet recording apparatus includes an apparatus casing comprising a discharge port which opens in a forward direction, a support member disposed within the apparatus casing in the rear of the discharge port and configured to support a recording medium, an ink head disposed within the apparatus casing and configured to eject ink which is curable with irradiation of ultraviolet light to the recording medium, an ultraviolet light irradiation device disposed within the apparatus casing and configured to irradiate ultraviolet light to the recording medium, and a first cover body configured to cover the discharge port in a freely openable and closeable manner, wherein the first cover body is opened upon discharging the recording medium via the discharge port.

Abstract: An ink jet printer includes: an ink head having a print head for ejecting ink and movable in a first direction, the ink curable upon irradiation with ultraviolet light; a first device positioned on a first side section of the ink head and a second device positioned on a second side section of the ink head opposite the first side section in the first direction, the devices being for irradiating a recording medium with ultraviolet light; and a cutting head attachable to the ink head such that the cutting head is positioned adjacent the ink head, movable in the first direction, and configured to cut at least a portion of the recording medium. When the ink and cutting heads are attached, at least a portion of the cutting head is positioned in front or in rear of one of the devices in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.
