A printing medium accommodating apparatus can stack a printing medium discharged from a discharge port of a printing apparatus. This accommodating apparatus includes a receiving member configured to receive a printing medium discharged from the discharge port; a holding member configured to hold one end of the receiving member; and a turning member configured to turn the holding member, and includes an attachment unit capable of attaching the turning member to an insertion slot provided in the printing apparatus.

Printing medium accommodating apparatus and printing apparatus

A printing apparatus includes a conveyance unit configured to convey a print medium in a conveyance direction, a printing unit, a plurality of rotary members arrayed in the direction intersecting a conveyance direction on a downstream side of the printing unit in the conveyance direction and configured to regulate a height position of the print medium from above the print medium, a holding member configured to rotatably hold the plurality of rotary members, a base member configured to support the holding member, and an adjustment member configured to adjust a position of the holding member in a height direction with respect to the base member.

Printing apparatus

A printing apparatus includes a conveyance unit, a printing unit, a platen section facing the printing unit, a regulation unit arranged on a downstream side of the printing unit in the conveyance direction and configured to regulate a height position of the print medium, and a guide section arranged on a downstream side of the platen section. The guide section includes a first declined section, a second declined section arranged on the downstream side of the first declined section in the conveyance direction, and an inclined section inclined from the second declined section to the downstream side in the conveyance direction. A declination of the second declined section is more moderate than that of the first declined section, and the regulation unit faces the guide section.

A recording apparatus includes a recording portion that records an image on a sheet, a first conveyance path in which a cut sheet serving as the sheet is conveyed toward the recording portion, a second conveyance path in which a continuous sheet serving as the sheet is conveyed toward the recording portion, a common conveyance path in which the sheet is conveyed in a conveying direction from a junction point at which the first conveyance path and the second conveyance path join together to the recording portion, and a control portion that controls the conveyance of the sheet. When the sheet is not detected in the second conveyance path after a sheet conveyance abnormality is detected, while the sheet is detected in the common conveyance path, the control portion performs a discharge operation of conveying the cut sheet from the first conveyance path toward the recording portion.

Recording apparatus

A printing apparatus includes a printing unit; a first conveyance unit configured to convey a sheet to the printing unit while nipping the sheet; a second conveyance unit provided on a downstream side of the first conveyance unit in a conveyance direction of the sheet, and configured to convey the sheet while nipping the sheet; a third conveyance unit provided on a downstream side of the second conveyance unit in the conveyance direction, and configured to convey the sheet while nipping the sheet; and a switching unit configured to switch between a nip state of the second conveyance unit and a released state in which the nip state is released. When the sheet is conveyed by the third conveyance unit, the switching unit switches between the nip state and the released state in accordance with a length of the sheet.

A printing apparatus includes a transfer section and a non-transfer section configured to be moved cyclically, a print unit configured to form an ink image on the transfer section, a transfer unit configured to perform a transfer operation and a liquid absorbing unit configured to absorb a liquid component from the ink image. The liquid absorbing unit includes a liquid absorbing sheet, a driving unit configured to move the sheet cyclically, and a displacing unit configured to displace the sheet between a contact state in which the sheet can contact the transfer section and a retracted state. When the non-transfer section is located at a liquid absorbing position where the sheet and the transfer section contact with each other, the displacing unit displaces the sheet from the retracted state to the contact state.

Printing apparatus and control method

A printing apparatus according to an embodiment of this invention brings, out of a cleaning unit that cleans a transfer member in contact with a transfer member and an application unit that applies a reactive liquid with ink to the transfer member, the cleaning unit into contact with the transfer member to clean the transfer member by the cleaning unit at the start of the printing operation. Alternatively, out of the application unit and an absorbing unit that absorbs a liquid component from the reactive liquid applied by the application unit in contact with the transfer member, the printing apparatus brings the application unit into contact with the transfer member to apply the reactive liquid by the application unit.

Inkjet printing apparatus

A printing apparatus includes a transfer member, a print unit configured to form an ink image on the transfer member, a transfer unit configured to perform a transfer operation, and a liquid absorption unit configured to absorb a liquid component from the ink image on the transfer member before the transfer operation. The liquid absorption unit includes a liquid absorbing sheet, a driving unit configured to move the sheet cyclically, a displacing unit configured to displace the 1 sheet between a contact state in which the liquid absorbing sheet contacts the transfer member and a retracted state, and a recovery unit configured to perform a recovery operation of recovering liquid absorption performance of the sheet. The recovery operation is performed by the recovery unit while moving the sheet cyclically by the driving unit when the sheet is in the retracted state.

Printing apparatus, liquid absorbing apparatus, and control method

A printing apparatus includes at least one transfer section, a print unit forming an ink image on the transfer section, a transfer unit performing a transfer operation of transferring, to a print medium, and a liquid absorbing unit absorbing a liquid component from the ink image. The liquid absorbing unit includes a liquid absorbing sheet moved cyclically, and a displacing unit displacing the sheet between a contact state and a retracted state. The printing apparatus further includes an acceleration control unit controlling, if the sheet is displaced from the retracted state to the contact state, an acceleration operation of the transfer section and the sheet, and a determination unit determining an acceleration operation start portion which is located at a liquid absorbing position where the sheet contacts the transfer section when the acceleration control unit starts the acceleration operation.

A container for housing a coil, which comprises: a lower box (2) made of steel, having a bottom wall and an open upper end, for housing a coil with the axis thereof directed horizontally and covering a lower half portion thereof; an upper box (3) made of steel, inserted outside the lower box (2) so as to vertically movable, for covering an upper half portion of the coil, which has an open lower end and an upper end which is openable and closeable by means of a pair of cover plates (4, 4'); and a fixing mechanism for securing the upper box (3) at the uppermost position thereof onto the lower box (2).
