  • Patent number: 11148424
    Abstract: A printing apparatus comprises a main tank, an intermediate tank, and a control unit controlling an amount of the ink stored in the intermediate tank by a normal replenishing operation for increasing an ink remaining amount to a normal amount more than a first reference amount by feeding the ink from the main tank to the intermediate tank if the ink remaining amount falls below the first reference amount. The control unit controls the amount of the ink stored in the intermediate tank by an extraordinary replenishing operation for increasing the ink remaining amount to a second reference amount by feeding the ink from the main tank to the intermediate tank if the ink remaining amount falls below the second reference amount less than the first reference amount when the main tank held is exchanged.

  • Publication number: 20210249206
    Abstract: Provided is an information input device that allows two types of operation, namely, rotation operation and tilt operation, and that can be downsized. In a case where the rotation operation component is seen in a direction orthogonal to a rotation axis direction of the rotation operation component, the rotation operation component has a first slope that faces a tilt operation component and that is on an inner periphery side of an annular shape of the rotation operation component and is inclined relative to the rotation axis of the rotation operation component. In the case where the rotation operation component is seen in the direction orthogonal to the rotation axis direction of the rotation operation component, a distance of the first slope from the rotation axis of the rotation operation component increases as a distance of the first slop from the rotation detection unit increases.

  • Patent number: 11040538
    Abstract: An inkjet printer includes a maintenance solution supply mechanism. In response to switching of a three-way valve provided in an ink pipe, a maintenance solution is supplied from a maintenance tank to each head through a maintenance pipe. The maintenance tank is a common tank. This suppresses size increase of the printer compared to provision of an individual maintenance tank for each head. The maintenance pipe is connected to the ink pipe at a position downstream of an intermediary tank. This eliminates the need of replacement of ink in the intermediary tank by the maintenance solution during supply of the maintenance solution. This allows reduction in the consumptions of the ink and the maintenance solution.

  • Publication number: 20200201140
    Abstract: A rotational operation device that is capable of setting an operation mode corresponding to a user's intention even when rotation of a rotational operation member stops on the way during a rotational operation. A rotational operation member is rotatable around a rotation axis. A click force application mechanism applies click force to the rotational operation member according to its rotational operation. A detection unit detects rotation of the rotational operation member. A setting unit sets one operation mode from among a plurality of predetermined operation modes in response to a detection output of the detection unit. The setting unit switches the operation mode according to a rotational operation of the rotational operation member before a position where the click force applied to the rotational operation member by the click force application mechanism becomes zero in a case where the rotational operation member is rotated in a first direction.
