Abstract: A recording device includes a recording unit and a medium support unit. The recording unit includes a recording head and a platen that faces the recording head in a first direction. The medium support unit is arranged below the recording unit such that the medium support unit overlaps the recording unit as viewed in the first direction. The medium support unit is configured to move, relative to the recording unit, in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The medium support unit has an up-down mechanism configured to move a support position of the recording medium upward in the first direction by being pulled from below the recording unit. The support position commences to move upward in the first direction after the medium support unit commences to move in the second direction relative to the recording unit during pulling of the medium support unit.

Abstract: A liquid discharge apparatus includes a liquid discharge section configured to discharge liquid onto a medium, a holding section capable of holding a waste liquid container capable of containing waste liquid exhausted from the liquid discharge section, a sensor capable of detecting a state in which a containing amount of the waste liquid container has reached a threshold value, and a calculation section configured to calculate a waste liquid amount based on an exhaust amount of the waste liquid exhausted by the liquid discharge section. In the case where the sensor has detected the state in which the containing amount has reached the threshold value, the calculation section calculates the waste liquid amount by adding the exhaust amount of the waste liquid exhausted after the detection of the state by the sensor to the threshold value.

Abstract: A recording device includes a recording unit that performs recording on a recording medium with the recording medium being stored in a rolled state and unrolled from one end. The recording device includes a pair of abutting rollers, a support roller and a movable mechanism. The abutting rollers face each other, and convey the recording medium while the recording medium is nipped between the abutting rollers. The support roller is arranged on a downstream side of the abutting rollers in a conveyance path of the recording medium. The support roller abuts the recording medium to support the recording medium. The movable mechanism changes a position of at least one of the abutting rollers to switch between an abutting state in which the other of the abutting rollers abuts the recording medium and a released state in which the other of the abutting rollers does not abut the recording medium.

The medium support part is slidable with respect to the housing in a sliding direction. The medium support part has a second medium path through which the recording medium is configured to pass. The first and second medium paths have openings that are at least partially disposed on a sliding plane defined between the housing and the medium support part. A wall of the first medium path on one side in the sliding direction and a wall of the second medium path on the other side in the sliding direction are arranged not to contact with respect to each other while the medium support part slides towards the one side in the sliding direction.

Abstract: A recording apparatus includes a recording unit, a discharge unit, and a medium receiving unit. The medium receiving unit has a sheet section which is flexible and of which a front-end portion is disposed to be closer to a discharge side of a recording medium than a terminal-end portion. When the medium receiving unit is transited from a serviceable state to an accommodated state, the front-end portion of the sheet section becomes closer to the terminal-end portion of the sheet section and a connection portion between the front-end portion and the terminal-end portion of the sheet section moves to a side opposite to the discharge side.

Abstract: A recording apparatus includes a medium support section that has a supply section supplying a continuous-shaped recording medium, a medium path through which the recording medium supplied on the supply section passes, and a transportation mechanism that transports the recording medium; and a recording section that performs recording on the recording medium passing through the medium path. A hole that is formed in a side wall having a light shielding property and capable of visually recognizing the inside of the medium path on the upstream side from the transportation mechanism in a transportation direction through the inside of the medium support section is provided in the medium support section.

Abstract: A recording apparatus includes a recording part configured to record onto a recording medium; a discharge part configured to discharge a recorded medium, which is the recording medium that has been previously recorded on; and a medium catcher part configured to catch the discharged recorded medium. The medium catcher part has a guide surface configured to guide a leading end of the discharged recorded medium toward a side (the direction of approach side) opposite to a discharge direction in which the recorded medium is discharged, at a lower side of the discharge part and is configured so that the guide surface is separable from the discharge part.

Abstract: A recording apparatus includes an ink discharge part, a first drive part that drives a rotation of a roll body in which the recording medium is wound, a second drive part that drives the conveyance part that conveys the recording medium, and a control part that controls operations of the first drive part and the second drive part. The control part drives the first drive part in a halted state of the second drive part and executes a measurement that measures a relationship between a load and a drive speed when conveying the recording medium and the control part executes the measurement for a single rotation of the roll body. The control part also provides a first measurement mode to execute the single rotation which is divided into plural number.

Abstract: A roll medium feeding device includes a temporal placement portion on which a roll medium is placed temporarily, a roll holder that has a fitting portion which is movable in a width direction of the roll medium, and an elevating unit that lifts the roll medium. The elevating unit includes an elevating portion that has a placement portion and is capable of going up and down in an up-down direction, an operation lever that moves rotationally about a fulcrum, and moves the elevating portion with the rotational movement, and a pedal that is provided at a free end side of the operation lever.

Abstract: A roll medium lifting device of a recording apparatus includes: an elevating unit that has a loading unit therein and can be raised and lowered in the vertical direction; an operation lever that is rotatable about a fulcrum; and a cam that performs force transmission by converting rotational movement of the operation lever in the vertical direction to vertical movement of the elevating unit at a position closer to the fulcrum in the operation lever. Further, when the operation lever is rotated to cause the cam to move the elevating unit upward, a portion of the cam that makes contact with the elevating unit faces to the moving direction when the elevating unit is moved upward.
