Abstract: A liquid supply apparatus configured to supply a liquid to a printing unit, comprising a tray on which a flexible retaining container that retains a liquid is configured to be placed, and a tray holder configured to hold the tray so as to allow insertion of the tray in a first direction, wherein the retaining container includes a supply port configured to supply a liquid to the printing unit and an inlet coupled to the supply port and configured to take in a liquid into the retaining container, and the tray is provided with a concave shape overlapping the inlet from a viewpoint in an up-down direction in a state in which the tray is inserted in the tray holder.

Abstract: A liquid supply apparatus configured to supply a liquid to a printing unit, comprising a tray holder configured to hold a tray on which a flexible retaining container configured to retain a liquid is placed, the tray holder allowing insertion of the tray in a first direction, wherein the retaining container has a foldable gusset portion, and the tray holder is provided with a folding unit configured to fold the gusset portion in a state in which the tray is held by the tray holder.

Abstract: The present disclosure is to provide a printing apparatus capable of efficient preheating. The printing apparatus includes a print head, a carriage, a heating section which selectively performs an ejection operation of ejecting liquid and a heating operation of warming liquid, and a control section. In a case where a distance between a reversing position at which the scan direction of the carriage is switched and a position at which the print head starts ejection in a next scan is longer than a predetermined distance, the control section causes the heating section to execute the heating operation while the carriage is accelerating in the next scan.

Abstract: A liquid supply apparatus includes a holding member configured to detachably hold a tray, on which a flexible container provided with a supply port for supplying a liquid to a printhead, is placed, a press member configured to press the container attached to the liquid supply apparatus, a movable member configured to move the press member to a first position where the press member presses the container and a second position where a press amount of the press member for the container is less than at the first position, a first spring having one end locked on the press member and the other end locked on the holding member, and a second spring having one end locked on the press member and the other end locked on the movable member.

Abstract: Provides a technique for a serial type liquid ejection apparatus to detect an end portion of printing paper with high accuracy. To this end, a carriage is moved at a constant speed until abutting an abutting portion while detecting an end portion of a printing medium by a sensor with high accuracy.

Abstract: A liquid supply apparatus includes a support unit configured to support a liquid container having flexibility, a channel forming unit configured to be connected to the liquid container supported by the support means, and form a channel through which liquid flows from the liquid container to a supply destination, and pressing unit configured to repeat a pressing operation and a pressing reduced operation with respect to the liquid container supported by support unit.

Abstract: A liquid storage apparatus includes a storage unit configured to extractably store a liquid container with flexibility, a path forming unit connected to the liquid container stored in the storage unit and configured to form a path configured to flow a liquid out of the liquid container, and a pressing unit configured to press the liquid container stored in the storage unit. The pressing unit is configured to perform a stirring operation of stirring the liquid stored in the liquid container by repeating pressing of the liquid container and reducing of the pressing, and a regulating operation of maintaining a state in which the liquid container is pressed and regulating extraction of the liquid container from the storage unit.

Abstract: A printing apparatus has a circulation unit including a first liquid moving unit configured to supply liquid to a printhead and a second liquid moving unit configured to discharge the liquid circulated inside the printhead and not ejected from an ejection port to an outside of the printhead; a head unit including the printhead and a holding unit configured to hold the printhead; and a head moving unit configured to move the head unit in a first direction. The circulation unit overlaps with a projection plane of the head unit and is not moved by the head moving unit.

Abstract: A liquid storage apparatus includes storage portions arranged in a first direction, each storage portion configured to store a liquid container for storing a liquid, status display units, each status display unit corresponding to one of the storage portions and configured to display a status of the liquid container, and type display units, each type display unit corresponding to one of the storage portions and configured to display a type of liquid assigned to the storage portion. Each storage portion and the corresponding status display unit are arranged so as to be aligned in a second direction that intersects the first direction. The storage portion and the corresponding type display unit are arranged so as to be aligned in the second direction. The type display unit is arranged on a side of the status display unit with respect to the storage portion.
