  • Publication number: 20240375413
    Abstract: A printer includes a line head that ejects ink onto a sheet, a belt conveyance unit that supports the sheet, an upstream conveyance roller pair that conveys the sheet to the belt conveyance unit, a downstream conveyance roller pair that conveys the sheet from the belt conveyance unit, and a controller, wherein the belt conveyance unit can be displaced between a first position opposed to the line head and a second position at a longer distance from the line head than the first position by rotating, and the controller displaces the belt conveyance unit to the second position, and controls the belt conveyance unit, the upstream conveyance roller pair, and the downstream conveyance roller pair such that the sheet forms a curve convex downward in a vertical direction when the conveyance stops.

  • Publication number: 20240269998
    Abstract: A medium transport device includes a first roller that transports a medium in a transport direction, and a control unit that controls the first roller. The control unit rotates the first roller at a first speed when the first roller transports a first medium. When a rear end of the first medium is located downstream of the first roller in the transport direction and a leading end of a second medium transported subsequently to the first medium is located upstream of the first roller in the transport direction, the control unit can perform a deceleration control of decelerating the first roller to a second speed slower than the first speed.

  • Publication number: 20240174008
    Abstract: A medium processing apparatus includes a feeding portion configured to transport a medium, a processing tray on which the medium transported by the feeding portion is placeable, a processing portion configured to process the medium on the processing tray, and a discharging portion configured to discharge the medium placed on the processing tray, wherein a first mode in which the medium transported by the feeding portion is placed on the processing tray and then discharged by the discharging portion, and a second mode in which the medium transported by the feeding portion is discharged by the discharging portion without being placed on the processing tray are switchable.

  • Patent number: 11934724
    Abstract: A recording apparatus includes: a receiver receiving recording data transmitted from a user; a recording section performing recording on a medium using the recording data; a storage section temporarily storing the recording data until the recording is finished; an output tray to which the medium with the recording finished is outputted; and a controller controlling the recording apparatus. Here, when an index indicating the size of a value of the number of users predicted to congregate near the recording apparatus is a density near the recording apparatus, the controller calculates the density based on information concerning recording data stored in the storage section, and enables the density to be referred to.

  • Publication number: 20230322513
    Abstract: A medium discharge device includes an intermediate tray on which the medium aligned by the alignment section is placed, a pair of medium support sections configured to support a front end of the medium placed on the intermediate tray, and configured to be openable and closable, a discharge section for discharging a medium from the intermediate tray to the medium support section, and a curve imparting section that imparts a curve that warps in the medium direction to the medium by coming into contact with the medium discharged by the discharge unit. A step is formed between the intermediate tray and the pair of medium support sections.

  • Publication number: 20230278821
    Abstract: A post processing device includes: a processing tray that supports media on which post processing is performed; a post processing section configured to perform post processing on the medium supported by the processing tray; and a blowing section configured to blow air at the medium supported by the processing tray, wherein a control section for controlling the blowing section sets a blowing amount by the blowing section to a first blowing amount when the number of sheets of medium supported by the processing tray is less than a predetermined set number of sheets and sets a blowing amount by the blowing section to a second blowing amount, which is larger than the first blowing amount, when the number of sheets of medium supported by the processing tray is equal to or greater than the set number of sheets.

  • Publication number: 20230183032
    Abstract: A transport unit transports a transport medium after the transport medium is newly placed as an uppermost medium in a state in which one or a plurality of placed media are already placed in a processing tray. At this state, at least one of the placed media placed on the processing tray is pressed by a pressing unit at a pressing position. After the transport unit is separated away from the transport medium, the pressing unit can move from the pressing position to a retraction position.

  • Publication number: 20230036816
    Abstract: A stacking unit includes a processing tray, an alignment section, a transport section, and a moving section. The processing tray has a placement area in which one or more paper sheets are placed. The alignment section aligns leading edges of the paper sheets. The transport section transports the paper sheets to the alignment section. The moving section moves the paper sheets in ±X directions. The alignment section includes: a first alignment surface having a first friction coefficient; and a second alignment surface having a second friction coefficient. The second alignment surface is positioned upstream of the first alignment surface in a +A direction and closer to a center of the placement area in the ±X directions than the first alignment surface is.
