A processing device includes a processing section and a medium receiving section, wherein the medium receiving section has a sheet-like receiving member having flexibility, a pivot shaft coupled to one end of the receiving member, an operation section coupled to the other end of the receiving member and provided separable from the pivot shaft, and a pair of support sections that support both ends of the operation section, and the receiving member is wound around the pivot shaft and housed inside of the housing when the operation section approaches the pivot shaft, and is unwound from the pivot shaft and hangs down receivable the medium when the operation section is separated from the pivot shaft, and is wound around the pivot shaft such that contacting side with the medium is an inner side when the receiving member is wound around the pivot shaft.

Processing device and recording device

A supply device for a roll medium includes a drawer-type lower holding unit configured to support a shaft of a roll medium to hold the roll medium, and a guide member configured to be pressed in a direction toward the shaft from below to come into contact with the roll medium held by the lower holding unit, and be displaced in accordance with a change in an outer diameter of the roll medium. In addition, the lower holding unit is configured to be drawn from a main body of the supply device in a first direction. When the lower holding unit, in a drawn-out state, is stored in the main body of the supply unit, the guide member comes into contact with the roll medium. The guide member is caused to be retracted downward from a travel path of the lower holding unit against a force pressing upward from below.

Supply device for roll medium and recording device

A recording device as a processing device includes: a recording unit accommodated in a housing and configured to perform recording on a medium; and a medium accommodating unit that accommodates the medium discharged from the housing. The medium accommodating unit includes: a sheet-shaped accommodating member; a rotating shaft provided inside the housing and to which one end of the accommodating member is connected; and an operating portion provided separably from the housing and to which the other end of the accommodating member is connected. The accommodating member is wound around the rotating shaft and accommodated inside the housing when the operating portion is mounted on the housing. The accommodating member is fed from the rotating shaft so that the medium is accommodated when the operating portion is separated from the housing.

Processing device and recording device including a medium receiving unit that receives a discharged medium

In a medium supply device, a receiving portion includes a support portion configured to rotatably support a spindle, and a drive gear meshing with a driven gear provided at the spindle to rotate the spindle, and a displacement member includes a pivoting shaft configured to pivot between an advanced position where the spindle is covered and a retracted position where the spindle is exposed, an abutting portion abutting the spindle when the spindle is installed at the receiving portion, the abutting portion being configured to cause the displacement member to pivot to the advanced position, an opposing portion abutting, at the advanced position, an outer peripheral surface of the spindle installed at the receiving portion, a cover portion configured to cover the driven gear, and a grounding member contacting the spindle, thereby coupling to a ground potential.

Medium supply device and recording device

A recording device includes a recording head configured to discharge a liquid as a droplet, a carriage on which the recording head is mounted, a driving unit that causes the carriage to reciprocate along a guide shaft, and a control board on which a semiconductor element is mounted. In a state in which the carriage is positioned at one end of the guide shaft, the control board is disposed below the carriage.
