A color measurement apparatus includes an opening portion that is formed in an opening portion forming member arranged in a bottom portion of the apparatus and causes light arriving from a measurement target to enter inside the apparatus, a light emission portion that emits light for measurement toward the measurement target, and a shutter unit that is configured to switch between a closed state in which the opening portion is covered, and an open state in which the opening portion is open, and that has a reflection reference surface at a position facing the opening portion in the closed state as a reference of reflectance, in which the shutter unit is disposed such that the shutter unit is configured to switch to, in addition to the closed state and the open state, an exposed state in which the reflection reference surface is exposed outside the apparatus.

Color measurement apparatus

A color measurement apparatus includes an opening portion forming member that is a member in which an opening portion for causing light arriving from a measurement target to enter inside the apparatus is formed, and that is arranged on a bottom surface at a time of measurement performed by the apparatus, the opening portion for causing the light arriving from the measurement target to enter inside the apparatus, an incident light processing portion that processes light incident through the opening portion, and a battery that supplies power to the incident light processing portion, in which in a view from a first direction that is a vertical direction intersecting with the bottom surface and an upper surface which is a surface on an opposite side from the bottom surface, the incident light processing portion and the battery have an overlapping part.

A recording apparatus includes a recording section configured to perform recording onto a medium, a facing section facing a recording surface of a medium at a discharge position where the medium recorded by the recording section is discharged, and a light emitter configured to emit light toward the recording surface. The facing section includes an optical member disposed at a position where the light emitted by the light emitter enters, the optical member being configured to pass the incident light toward at least the recording surface.

Recording apparatus

A color measurement apparatus includes an opening portion forming member that is a member in which an opening portion for causing light arriving from a measurement target to enter inside the apparatus is formed, and that is arranged on a bottom surface at a time of measurement performed by the apparatus, an incident light processing portion that processes light incident through the opening portion, a shutter unit that is a unit configured to be displaced between a closed position at which the opening portion is covered, and an open position at which the opening portion is open, and that includes a reflection reference surface used as a reference of reflectance at a position facing the opening portion, and a detection section that detects changes in a detection signal to be output in accordance with displacement of the shutter unit.

A color measurement apparatus includes an opening portion forming member that is a member in which an opening portion for causing light arriving from a measurement target to enter inside the apparatus is formed, and that is arranged on a bottom surface at a time of measurement performed by the apparatus, an incident light processing portion that processes light incident through the opening portion, and a shutter unit configured to be displaced between a closed position at which the opening portion is covered, in which the shutter unit includes a shutter member that closes the opening portion when the shutter unit is at the closed position, a shutter holding member that holds the shutter member such that the shutter member is configured to be displaced in a direction of approaching to and separating from the opening portion, and a pressing member that presses the shutter member toward the opening portion.

A recording apparatus includes a carriage, a liquid container provided on the carriage and in which a liquid is to be injected, the liquid container having a liquid level check portion through which a level of the liquid in the liquid container is visually checked, a recording head disposed in the carriage, and an operation panel disposed on a front surface of the apparatus along the width direction, the operation panel and an exposure section through which the liquid level check portion is exposed are disposed such that the operation panel and the exposure section are visually checked, and the carriage is moved from a home position toward the exposure section and the operation panel and the liquid level check portion are arranged in the width direction when the apparatus side surface is viewed from the front side.

A color measurement apparatus includes an opening portion forming member that is a member in which an opening portion for causing light arriving from a measurement target to enter inside the apparatus is formed, and that is arranged on a bottom surface at a time of measurement performed by the apparatus, the opening portion for causing the light arriving from the measurement target to enter inside the apparatus, an incident light processing portion that processes light incident through the opening portion, and an operation portion that is positioned on an upper surface, and that receives various operations, in which in a view from a first direction that is a vertical direction intersecting with the bottom surface and the upper surface which is the surface on the opposite side from the bottom surface and includes a display portion, the opening portion and the operation portion have an overlapping part.

A recording apparatus includes a recording head, an ink tank that is disposed above the recording head, a carriage on which the recording head and the ink tank are mounted, a scanner unit that is attached to the upper portion of the casing via a pivot shaft so as to pivot with respect to the casing and that reads a document placed on the document table, and a panel unit in which the scanner unit is attached to an end portion disposed on the opposite side to the pivot shaft and is configured to tilt between a first orientation and a second orientation closer to the document table than the first orientation, and by pivoting the scanner unit with respect to the casing to expose the ink tank, ink is injected from the refill container into the ink tank and the remaining amount of liquid is viewed.

A recording device includes a housing including a recording mechanism unit configured to perform recording on a target recording medium, and a recording mechanism unit cover configured to rotate, by a rotational shaft along a first side surface of the housing, between an open state of an upper surface of the housing being open and a closed state of the upper surface of the housing being closed. The recording mechanism unit cover is configured to be inside the housing in the closed state and a second side surface and a third side surface of the recording mechanism unit cover that intersect the first side surface of the housing in the closed state are provided with a rib configured to support a second side surface or a third side surface of the housing that intersects the first side surface of the housing.

Recording device

A printer includes a restrictor that is configured to switch between a restricted state that restricts a scanner unit from pivoting in an opening direction from a closed state in which the scanner unit is closed with respect to the casing, and a free state that allows the scanner unit to pivot in the opening direction from the closed state, and that enters the restricted state when the panel unit is set to a first orientation and enters the free state when the panel unit in the first orientation pivots by a predetermined angle to be in a second orientation.
