Abstract: [Purpose] To provide a table mover capable of causing a table unit smoothly along slide rail. [Solution] A table mover 38 includes a table unit 40 including a table carriage 49 to support a table 48, and the table unit40 is movable in sub-scanning directions X along a first slide rail 51 fixed to a left side frame 64 and a second slide rail 52 fixed to a right side frame 65. The table carriage 49 includes: a first left fixer 49DA to which a left fixing bracket 56 coupled to the left slide member 81X to be engaged with the first slide rail 51 is fixed and a first right fixer 49EA to which a right fixing bracket 57 coupled to a right slide member 82X to be engaged with a second slide rail 52 is fixed. The first left fixer 49DA is elastically deformable in main scanning directions Y relative to the left side frame 64.

Abstract: A printer includes a supporting table to support a recording medium, a recording head located above the supporting table to eject ink toward the supporting table, a first contact detector located above the supporting table and lower than the recording head, an oscillator to vibrate the first contact detector, and a vibration detector to detect vibration of the first contact detector and transmit a signal corresponding to the detected vibration. The printer stores a threshold related to the vibration of the first contact detector and determines that an object has come into contact with the first contact detector when an amount of the vibration detected by the vibration detector is equal to the threshold or less.
