Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a transport belt which transports a printing medium, a cleaning tank which stores cleaning liquid, a first cleaning brush and a second cleaning brush which are contained in the cleaning tank and clean the transport belt, and a driving motor which drives to rotate the first cleaning brush and the second cleaning brush. The first cleaning brush and the second cleaning brush are driven to be rotated via a plurality of gears which include a driving gear which is provided in the driving motor and driven gears and which are provided in the first cleaning brush and the second cleaning brush.

Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a transport belt which transports a printing medium in a transport direction; a cleaning tank which stores cleaning liquid; and a first cleaning roller and a second cleaning roller which are dipped in the cleaning liquid and are rotatably in contact with the transport belt. The first cleaning roller and the second cleaning roller include spiral brushes which generate water flow for directing the cleaning liquid in one direction by the rotation of the first cleaning roller and the second cleaning roller.

Abstract: A medium transport apparatus includes a transport section configured to support a medium and transport the medium in a transport direction, and a wrinkle reducing section configured to come into contact with the medium to reduce the formation of wrinkles in the medium. The wrinkle reducing section can change surfaces to come into contact with the medium. The medium transport apparatus having such a structure enables to reduce the formation of wrinkles in the medium.

Abstract: A belt cleaning apparatus that is a cleaning apparatus that cleans a surface of a transporting belt with a cleaning solution, the belt cleaning apparatus including a cleaning member that is in contact with the surface in a rotatable manner, the cleaning member cleaning the surface with the cleaning solution; a cleaning solution reservoir that retains the cleaning solution; and a partition portion that protrudes from a bottom portion of the cleaning solution reservoir, the partition portion partitioning the cleaning solution reservoir into a cleaning area where the cleaning member is partially dipped in the cleaning solution and a discharging area from where the cleaning solution is discharged. In the belt cleaning apparatus, a distance between the cleaning member and the partition portion becomes gradually smaller towards an upper end of the partition portion.

Abstract: To provide an inkjet recording device that makes it possible to have a constant gap between a recording medium and the nozzle surface of an inkjet head in the direction of extension of a head support member even in a case where a print section supporting the inkjet head with bilateral anchoring via the head support member has low rigidity, the invention is provided with a print section including a left base plate and a right base plate for supporting, by bilateral anchoring via a carriage guide, an inkjet head for printing on a recording medium; and a leg movement section that is provided to the right base plate and moves the right base plate toward the left base plate to correct for a bending of the carriage guide.

Abstract: To provide a belt cleaning device and the like by which a more compact apparatus overall can be configured without compromising the ability to replace a secondary wiping member or the like, the invention is provided with a wiper which is provided on an inner side of a cleaning vessel and further downstream than a rotating brush in a direction of travel of a conveyance belt, and wipes off in a relative fashion a cleaning solution that has attached to the conveyance belt. The wiper includes a primary wiping blade and a secondary wiping blade which are in contact with the surface of the conveyance belt, and a primary fixation plate and a secondary fixation plate which are attached to the inner side of the cleaning vessel and to which the primary wiping blade and the secondary wiping blade, respectively, are fixed.

Abstract: A liquid droplet discharging device is provided with a discharge head capable of relative movement through a predetermined plane with respect to a substrate, and adapted to discharge liquid droplets cured by activation light; and an irradiation section for irradiating the liquid droplets on the substrate with the activation light. Also provided is a retaining device whereby a cover member that transmits the activation light is detachably retained in a direction parallel to the predetermined plane.

Abstract: A droplet ejecting device includes an ejection head, a moving body, a guide part, an attachment part, a fixed part and a liquid reservoir. The ejection head is configured and arranged to eject liquid droplets onto a substrate. The moving body supports the ejection head, and is configured and arranged to move integrally with the ejection head with respect to the substrate. The guide part is configured and arranged to guide a relative movement of the moving body. The attachment part is attached to the guide part and supporting the moving body, and configured and arranged to move integrally with the moving body. The fixed part is fixed to the attachment part separately from the moving body. The liquid reservoir is provided to the fixed part, and configured and arranged to store the liquid supplied to the ejection head.

Abstract: The advantage of the invention is to provide a medium feed device and the like for intermittently feeding a recording medium in which meandering can be securely corrected without the occurrence of wrinkles in the recording medium. The medium feed device has a meandering detection sensor which detects position displacement of a recording medium in a width direction, and a control section which controls driving of a width movement unit based on detection results by the meandering detection sensor. The control section stops driving of the width movement unit when stopping feeding of the intermittent feeding.
