A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a transport section which transports a medium in a transport direction, a liquid ejecting head which ejects a liquid onto the medium, a carriage which supports the liquid ejecting head, a liquid storage container which stores the liquid to be supplied to the liquid ejecting head, and an discharge section which discharges the medium onto which the liquid is ejected. The liquid ejecting apparatus further includes a holding section which holds a waste liquid box configured to store the liquid eliminated from the liquid ejecting head as a waste liquid. The holding section is disposed at a position downstream of the carriage in the transport direction and above the discharge section.

Liquid ejecting apparatus

A recording apparatus includes a recording mechanism unit, an opening/closing unit that is rotatably coupled to the recording mechanism unit in an upper portion of the recording mechanism unit, an operation unit which is arranged to face a circumferential edge of the opening/closing unit and is able to have a coupling state in which the operation unit and the opening/closing unit are coupled together and a released state in which the coupling state is released, a cable that connects a control unit with the operation unit, and a support means which is provided in the recording mechanism unit and which supports the operation unit that is in the released state and is connected to the control unit by the cable in a state in which a distance between the operation unit and the circumferential edge of the opening/closing unit is greater than that in the coupling state.

Recording apparatus

To optimize an arrangement route for a tube arranged between an ink tank and a carriage, when arranging the ink tank outside an ink jet printer main body. A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a liquid ejecting apparatus main bodyejecting a liquid onto a recording medium from a liquid ejecting head mounted on a carriage; a liquid containing bodyarranged inside the liquid ejecting apparatus main body; and a liquid supply tubearranged between the liquid containing bodyand the carriage, in which an inner space S is provided which is formed from the liquid ejecting head and a discharge port including a region where the recording medium is discharged, and the liquid containing bodyis arranged in the inner space S.

A case includes a main receptacle body that accommodates an ink accommodating body which accommodates ink. A first tube support portion and second to fourth tube support portions that guide connection tubes that are connected to the ink accommodating bodies, respectively, are provided on an internal surface of the main receptacle body.

Liquid-accommodating-body accommodating receptacle, liquid supply apparatus, and liquid ejecting apparatus

Provided is a recording apparatus allowing for a reduction in size of an ink jet recording apparatus. An ink jet recording apparatus includes a head unit that has a recording head which ejects ink and a relay adapter which relays an ink accommodating portion where ink is accommodated with the recording head, and is movable in a scanning direction of the recording head, and an ink tube that is connected to the relay adapter, guides ink which is sent from the ink accommodating portion to the relay adapter, and has flexibility, in which a height difference is formed in an upper portion of an adapter accommodating portion, where the relay adapter is accommodated, of the head unit, and the ink tube extends outside the head unit by using a space between a high position and a low position of the adapter accommodating portion.

A liquid containing bodyarranged inside the liquid ejecting apparatus main bodyand a liquid supply tubearranged between the liquid containing bodyand the carriage, in which an inner space S is provided which is formed from the liquid ejecting head and a discharge port including a region where the recording medium is discharged, and the liquid containing bodyis arranged in the inner space S.

A recording apparatus includes a body, an operation panel provided on a front surface of the body, a feeding cassette that accommodates sheets, removably mounted with respect to the body from the front surface of the body, and is configured such that a part thereof is protruded from body in a state of being mounted on the body, a recording section that is disposed inside the body and performs printing by ejecting ink onto a sheet transported from the feeding cassette, a discharging tray that is disposed on the feeding cassette and supports the sheet after printing is completed, and a body-side cover section that is provided in the body and covers both side surfaces of the feeding cassette. Then, when viewed from a right and left direction, a first farthest section that is positioned in the farthest position from the body in the feeding cassette in a front direction is separated from the body in the front direction further than a second farthest section that is positioned in the farthest position from the body in the operation panel in the front direction.

Provided is an image forming system including a case that accommodates an ink accommodating body which accommodates ink, a connection tube through which ink within the ink accommodating body can be supplied, and an image forming apparatus that has an ink jet printer that can eject the ink supplied through the connection tube and a reading apparatus which a reading surface on which an original copy G that is arranged on the ink jet printer is read. Then, the case is arranged beside the image forming apparatus in such a manner that an upper surface of the case is matched with the reading surface in terms of height.

Image forming system

An arrangement path of a tube arranged between an ink tank and a carriage is optimized in a case where the ink tank is arranged in an outer portion or the like of an ink jet printer main body. A liquid ejecting apparatusincludes a liquid ejecting apparatus main bodythat ejects a liquid from a liquid ejecting head which is mounted on a carriage, a liquid accommodating bodythat is arranged in an external area or the like of the liquid ejecting apparatus main body, and liquid supply tubesthat are arranged between the liquid accommodating bodyand the carriage. The liquid ejecting apparatus further includes a paper discharge frame that is arranged along a scanning direction of the liquid ejecting head on a further forward side than the liquid ejecting head. A part of the liquid supply tubesis fixed to a frame member paper discharge frame.

An ink jet recording apparatus includes a head unit, a discharge port including a region where a recording medium on which a recording is performed by the recording head is discharged and an ink tube having flexibility, that is connected to the head unit and leads the ink from an ink containing unit. The ink tube protrudes to the outside of the apparatus from discharge port side of the front surface.

A recording apparatus includes a holding unit that holds a recorded recording medium in a standing posture, a roller that sends the recording medium to the holding unit, and a restricting unit that restricts the position of the recording medium not to be in contact with the roller.

A recording apparatus includes a paper supply traythat is provided on an upstream side of a transport direction in which recording paper P is transported, and which can feed the recording paper P from a first aperture portionprovided in a housing, a guide member, which is provided in the paper supply traywall surface portionof the housing, and an ink tubethat passes through gap sections Sand Sbetween the guide memberand the wall surface portion and supplies ink from an ink accommodation portionwhich is provided outside the housingto a recording headthat is attached to a carriage
