  • Patent number: 12208607
    Abstract: An image recording apparatus includes a controller to calculate n that is a maximum natural number satisfying nX?X0, where X0 represents a width of a sheet medium, and X represents a longest one of respective lengths, in a width direction of the sheet medium, of a plurality of first images or a single second image based on image data. The plurality of first images are arranged along a longitudinal direction of the sheet medium. When the calculated n is equal to or more than two, the controller performs a juxtaposed image recording process to control a print engine in such a manner that two or more and n or less images, among the plurality of first images or among a plurality of divisional images into which the single second image is divided, are recorded to be arranged side by side along the width direction.

  • Publication number: 20240326480
    Abstract: There is provided an image recording apparatus including a tray, a conveyor, a recording unit, and a cutter unit including at least one cutter. The conveyor includes a feeding mechanism and a pair of guides. The pair of guides defines a portion disposed on a downstream side in the conveying direction with respect to a cutting position brought about by the cutter unit in the conveyance path. The pair of guides have a first guide positioned upstream of the portion in the feeding direction and a second guide positioned downstream in the feeding direction of the portion. An angle on an acute angle side of the first guide with respect to the portion is smaller than an angle on an acute angle side of the second guide with respect to the portion.

  • Publication number: 20240327155
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes: a conveyor conveying a sheet medium; an image forming part forming an image on the sheet medium; a cutting part; a signal outputting part outputting a state signal; a reporting part; and a controller. The controller executes: an image forming process of conveying the sheet medium by the conveyor and forming the image on the sheet medium by the image forming part, and a cutting process of moving the cutting part. In a case where the sheet medium has not been cut even though the cutting process was executed during image formation on the sheet medium in the image forming process, the controller continues the image formation without interruption and causes the reporting part to report information regarding a failure of cutting of the sheet medium.

  • Patent number: 11970350
    Abstract: A medium unit, having a tray, a casing, and a pullback assembly, is provided. The tray stores a roll of medium, in which a continuous medium is rolled. The casing supports the tray detachably attached thereto. The pullback assembly pushes the continuous medium from a lower side to pull a loose end of the continuous medium unrolled from the roll of medium in conjunction with a detaching action to move the tray to detach from the casing in an orthogonal direction intersecting orthogonally with a rotation axis of the roll of medium.

  • Patent number: 11924388
    Abstract: An image recording apparatus includes a feed tray, a feed mechanism feeding a sheet-shaped medium accommodated in the feed tray, and a recording device recording an image on the sheet-shaped medium fed by the feed mechanism. The feed tray includes a first accommodation portion accommodating a roll, in which the sheet-shaped medium is rolled, a pair of side walls interposing the sheet-shaped medium unrolled from the roll in a first direction parallel to an axis of the roll, and a side guide disposed inside the pair of side walls and having an inner-side surface contactable with an edge in the first direction of the first sheet-shaped medium unrolled from the roll. The side guide has a metal portion made of metal, the metal portion forming at least part of the inner-side surface.

  • Publication number: 20230363916
    Abstract: A three-dimensional shaped object can achieve both of a property in the case of a high dense degree and a property in the case of a low dense degree, and have a high strength. The three-dimensional shaped object includes a dense portion formed on one side so as to be dense, and a porous portion formed on an opposite side so as to be porous. The dense portion and the porous portion are formed by a reaction product of a ceramic material with a chelating agent.

  • Publication number: 20230348218
    Abstract: An image recording apparatus includes a conveyance mechanism conveying a sheet-shaped medium in a conveyance direction, a recorder recording an image on the conveyed sheet-shaped medium, and a controller. The conveyance mechanism selectively conveys a first sheet-shaped medium accommodated in a first accommodation part, and a second sheet-shaped medium accommodated in a second accommodation part and longer than the first sheet-shaped medium in the conveyance direction. The controller causes, based on a recording command, the conveyance mechanism to convey a sheet-shaped medium from one of the first and second accommodation parts, and causes the recorder to record an image on the sheet-shaped medium.

  • Publication number: 20230202208
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a controller that performs one or more times a first image forming process including performing image formation on a sheet medium, and conveying the sheet medium in a conveyance direction by rotating a first roller by a first number of rotations and rotating a second roller disposed downstream of the first roller in the conveyance direction by a second number of rotations smaller than the first number of rotations. When a count of times the first image forming process has been performed becomes a particular number of times, the controller performs a second image forming process including performing image formation on the sheet medium, and conveying the sheet medium by rotating the first roller by a third number of rotations smaller than the first number of rotations and rotating the second roller by the second number of rotations.
