Abstract: A liquid ejecting device includes a transporting belt that has a support surface capable of supporting a medium and that can transport the medium in a first direction, an ejecting unit that can eject a liquid onto a first surface of the medium transported by the transporting belt, a regulating unit that comes into contact with the first surface of the medium ejected with the liquid by the ejecting unit and that regulates upward movement of the medium, and a cleaning unit that cleans the regulating unit.

Abstract: A transport unit includes a glue belt, a pressurizing roller, a roller driving unit, and a control unit. The glue belt includes an adhesive layer. The pressurizing roller presses a medium against the adhesive layer while reciprocating in a Y direction. The roller driving unit generates a driving force for the pressurizing roller to reciprocate. The control unit controls the roller driving unit. The pressurizing roller is separated from the adhesive layer along with reciprocation. The control unit is capable of detecting a load of the roller driving unit, and determines whether the magnitude of the adhesive force of the adhesive layer is less than a target value, based on the load.

Abstract: A printer includes a printer main body that performs printing on a medium, a supporting frame that supports the printer main body from a lower side, a tension applying mechanism including a tension bar that comes into contact with a medium before printing and applies a tension to the medium, and a first roll attaching portion and a second roll attaching portion to which the medium before printing wound into a roll shape is attachable. The roll attaching portion, the tension bar, and the roll attaching portion are disposed on a back side of the supporting frame and are disposed in such order from a supporting frame side; and a medium after printing is wound into a roll shape on a front side of the supporting frame. The tension applying mechanism includes a frame having a guide groove for guiding the tension bar in a vertical direction.

Abstract: A smaller recording apparatus is provided, and includes a transport device that transports a print target medium using an endless transport belt placed around a plurality of rollers, an inkjet head that performs a recording on a medium on the endless transport belt, and a cleaning unit that cleans the endless transport belt. The cleaning unit includes a cleaner, making contact with the endless transport belt in a width direction thereof, so as to clean the endless transport belt with a cleaning liquid; a cleaning liquid tank, storing the cleaning liquid and includes at least a part of the cleaner; and a moving mechanism, supporting the cleaner and the cleaning liquid tank, and moving the cleaner in a horizontal direction between a contact position where the cleaner makes contact with the endless transport belt and a separated position where the cleaner is separated from the endless transport belt.

Abstract: To provide a printer including a tension applying mechanism for applying tension to a long medium, where the tension applying mechanism can be easily installed when the tension applying mechanism is necessary and the tension applying mechanism can be easily detached when the tension applying mechanism is unnecessary. The printer includes a printer main body that performs printing on the long medium, a supporting body including a supporting frame that supports the printer main body from a lower side, and tension applying mechanisms each including a tension bar that comes into contact with the medium and applies tension to the medium. The tension applying mechanisms each include a frame in which a guide groove having a slit shape for guiding the tension bar in a vertical direction is formed, and the frame 24 is detachably attached to the supporting body.

Abstract: A printing apparatus is provided and includes: a head that ejects ink onto a medium; a driver that relatively moves the positions of the head and the medium; a cover member that is positioned on the downstream side from the head in the movement direction of the medium relative to the head, so as to cover at least a portion of the medium; an air blowing fan that sends a drying air flow for drying ink ejected on the medium, into a gap between the medium and the cover member; and a cord type heater that heats at least one of the drying air flow and a preliminary air which is the previous stage of the drying air flow. An air-flow-direction changing wall part is provided so as to change the flow direction of the preliminary air which is the previous stage of the drying air flow, at least once.

Abstract: A printing apparatus is provided and includes cover members for covering at least a portion of a conveyance path for conveying a medium. The cover members are configured such that at least a portion of a part covering a conveyance path is able to expand and contract. Therefore, if necessary, it is possible to expand or contract the area of the cover members covering the conveyance path. On the occasion of setting the medium or when a jam has occurred, it is possible to contract the cover members in the conveyance direction of the medium. Also, even if the cover members move once from the state where they cover the conveyance path, it is possible to easily return the cover members to their original positions, and it is possible to easily return the cover members to the state where they cover a portion of the conveyance path.
