Abstract: A printer includes a recording head, a belt, a scale unit, a reading head, a gripping unit. The belt includes a first surface configured to support a medium and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The gripping unit includes a first abutting portion that comes into contact with the first surface, and a second abutting portion that comes into contact with the second surface. The gripping unit can be changed between a gripping state of moving along with the glue belt while gripping the glue belt, and a release state of being separated from the glue belt. When the gripping unit is in the release state, the second abutting portion is separated from the second surface in conjunction with the first abutting portion being separated from the first surface.

Abstract: An auxiliary member is an auxiliary member that assists in mounting a roll body, which is formed by winding a sheet into a roll shape on a core tube, onto a shaft of a printing apparatus. The auxiliary member includes a cylindrical main body insertable into the core tube, a laser irradiation unit that irradiates laser light from a leading end surface of the main body, and a switch that switches between irradiation and stopping of the laser light from the laser irradiation unit.

Abstract: A tubular casing has a package design (la) printed on an original fabric film (1) with transparent no-print zones (2, 3) formed along left and right end edges (2a, 3a). Best before date characters (4) are inkjet printed on the no-print zone (2). The fabric film (1) is bent to place the no-print zone (2) with printed characters on a lower side and form the fabric film (1) in a cylindrical shape. A heat seal portion (H) is formed including the date characters (4), in the no-print zone (2) located on the lower side. The heat seal portion (H) is formed up to the end edge (2a) of the no-print zone (2) and a no-heat seal portion (S) is formed on the end edge (3a) side of the no-print zone (3) located on an upper side to form a casing portion. Both ends of the casing portion are sealed.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for stabilizing an anti-dementia drug in a pharmaceutical composition containing the anti-dementia drug and a high molecular weight basic substance by adding a high molecular weight acidic substance to said pharmaceutical composition.

Abstract: There are provided a suction unit which sucks a recording medium, and a unit which changes sucking force of the suction unit according to the property of the recording medium. Hereby, since the sucking force of the suction unit can be set according to a state of the recording medium. Therefore, for example, even if the recording medium is greatly curled, since its recording medium can be surely sucked on the transporting surface of the recording medium by the suction unit. Further, even if the recording medium has little rigidity and is thin, it is possible to prevent the recording medium from being stuck on the transporting surface of the recording medium by the suction unit.
