  • Patent number: 12122150
    Abstract: A recording device includes a recording unit configured to discharge liquid onto a medium to perform recording, a transport unit configured to transport the medium at a position facing the recording unit, a transport unit downstream roller pair located downstream the transport unit in a medium transport path and configured to transport the medium, a restricting roller being a roller configured to restrict movement of a medium back end region upstream the transport unit downstream roller pair in the medium transport path toward the recording unit side, and including a plurality of teeth along an outer periphery thereof, and a guide member being a member configured to support the restricting roller, and guiding the medium.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 12090752
    Abstract: A recording device includes a recording head that performs recording on a medium, a transport belt that sucks and transports the medium at a position facing the recording head, a charging unit that forms a charging sucking area on the transport belt, in which the medium is sucked by charging, by applying a voltage to the transport belt, and a control section that controls the charging unit. A belt downstream roller pair that transports the medium is provided downstream of the transport belt in a medium transport direction. After a downstream end of the medium is nipped by the belt downstream roller pair, the control section controls the charging unit so that an upstream area downstream of an upstream end of the medium, which is an area including the upstream end of the medium, does not come into contact with the charging sucking area of the transport belt.
