A sheet comprising fibers, resin, and a marking. The resin is a fusion bonding resin, and the fibers are bound to each other by melting the fusion bonding resin. The fibers include defiberated recycled sheet(s). The marking is formed on a surface of the sheet and readable by a reading unit of a supply unit for supplying feedstock to a recycled sheet manufacturing apparatus. When the marking is read by the reading unit, the reading unit is caused to determine that the sheet is made from defibrated recycled sheet.

Sheet manufactured from recyclable materials

A sheet manufacturing apparatus has a manufacturing unit that makes a sheet; and a plurality of supply units that supply loaded feedstock to the manufacturing unit; and the feedstocks supplied from the plural supply units are conveyed overlapping each other.

Sheet manufacturing apparatus and sheet manufacturing method

A sheet manufacturing apparatus configured to manufacture a sheet by heating and pressurizing a material containing a fiber and an additive agent includes a supplying unit configured to supply the additive agent in air, a first tank configured to communicate with the supplying unit and store the additive agent, and a second tank configured to communicate with the first tank, store the additive agent, and be able to detach from the sheet manufacturing apparatus.

Sheet manufacturing apparatus

A sheet manufacturing apparatus can determine if the sheets supplied as feedstock have already been recycled. The sheet manufacturing apparatus has a supply unit configured to supply feedstock; a defibrating unit configured to defibrate the feedstock; an depositing unit configured to deposit defibrated material defibrated by the defibrating unit; a forming unit configured to form a sheet from a web laid by the depositing unit; a marking unit configured to apply a mark to at least one of the web and the sheet; and a reading unit configured to read the mark imparted to the feedstock when a sheet having mark imparted thereto is supplied as the feedstock.

A sheet manufacturing apparatus according to the invention includes: a manufacturing unit which manufactures a sheet; a supplying unit which supplies a mounted material mounted thereon to the manufacturing unit; and a determination unit which determines whether or not to initiate manufacturing of the sheet in a state where the mounted material is mounted on the supplying unit.

A liquid ejection apparatus includes an ejection head having nozzles that eject liquid, a strap member that holds the liquid ejected from the ejection head, a feeding roller and a winding roller around which the strap member is wound, and a driving source that rotates the winding roller, wherein a flash point of the liquid that is held in the strap member is 95 degrees Celsius or more, and the driving source is disposed at a position closer to the winding roller than to the feeding roller.

Liquid ejection apparatus

A printer includes a recording head having a nozzle forming surface formed with nozzles adapted to eject liquid; a wiper having an outer surface of a cylindrical surface shape capable of absorbing the ink attached to the nozzle forming surface; a motor that is driven, when moving the wiper in a direction in which the outer surface reaches the nozzle forming surface and in a direction in which the outer surface is separated from the nozzle forming surface, and is also driven when rotating the wiper; and a contact member coming into contact with the outer surface of the wiper rotated along with driving of the motor.

Liquid ejecting apparatus

In a liquid ejecting apparatus, when a ON/OFF detector detects that power of the liquid ejecting apparatus is switched to an ON state from an OFF state, a controller controls a liquid transfer unit such that liquid is transferred to a tank of which residual amount of liquid is smaller from a tank of which residual amount of liquid is larger based on the residual amount of liquid in a first tank detected by the first liquid residual amount detector and the residual amount of liquid in a second tank detected by the second liquid residual amount detector.

A liquid supplying apparatus includes: a table on which a liquid container is placed, the liquid container containing liquid; a needle that can be inserted into the liquid container so as to supply the liquid contained in the liquid container to a liquid consumption side therethrough, the liquid consumption side being a side at which the liquid supplied through the needle is consumed; and a rotation mechanism that rotates the liquid container around one axis in process of the relative movement which is the movement of the table with respect to the needle.

Liquid supplying apparatus, liquid ejecting apparatus, and liquid supplying method

Provided is a fluid ejecting apparatus including a fluid ejecting head that has a nozzle row made of a plurality of nozzles and ejects fluid from the nozzle row. The fluid ejecting apparatus includes a line-shaped absorbing member that is provided to extend along the nozzle row and absorbs the fluid ejected from the nozzles at a position opposite the nozzles, and a retraction unit that retracts the absorbing member from the position opposite the nozzles by abutting on the absorbing member. The absorbing member is positioned at the position opposite the nozzles when the retraction unit does not abut on the absorbing member.

Fluid ejecting apparatus

A fluid ejecting apparatus including: a fluid ejection head configured to eject fluid from a plurality of nozzles; a medium supporting member configured to support a medium at a position opposing the fluid ejection head, a thread-type fluid absorbing member configured to absorb the fluid ejected from the nozzles; and a moving mechanism configured to cause the fluid absorbing member to move between a first position opposing the nozzles between the fluid ejection head and the medium supporting member and a second position farther from a nozzle surface of the fluid ejection head than a transporting area of the medium, wherein the fluid is ejected from the nozzles to the fluid absorbing member at the first position.

Fluid ejecting apparatus and maintenance method

A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a liquid ejecting heads that ejects a liquid onto a target, a transport unit that transports the target, cap units that include caps which are provided opposite to the liquid ejecting heads with a transport path of the target interposed therebetween, and cover units that include cover members. The cap units are movable between a capping position where the caps come into contact with the liquid ejecting heads and a retreated position where the caps are separated from the liquid ejecting heads. The cover units are driven to move the cover members in association with the transport unit such that the cover members are disposed at a closing position where the caps are covered by the cover members when the target is being transported and the cover members are disposed at an opening position that does not cover the caps during a capping operation.

A fluid discharging apparatus including a head, a medium support portion, a contact member, and an actuator portion. The head includes a plurality of nozzles through which a fluid is discharged onto a target medium. The medium support portion supports the medium. The contact member is provided within the medium support portion. The actuator portion moves at least one of the head and the medium support portion so that the plurality of nozzles are located close to or far from the contact member. During a standby state when fluid is not discharged onto the medium, the contact member is brought into contact with the head in order to seal the plurality of nozzles, and in a discharging state, the head is located away from the contact member in order to provide a space through which the medium is allowed to pass between the plurality of nozzles and the contact member.

Fluid discharging apparatus and method of controlling the fluid discharging apparatus

A liquid ejection apparatus includes a liquid ejection head that discharges liquid, a liquid receiving portion that receives the liquid from the liquid ejection head, a detachable liquid storage portion that stores the liquid within the liquid receiving portion, and a liquid passage that conducts the liquid within the liquid receiving portion into the liquid storage portion. The liquid storage portion includes an absorbing portion that absorbs the liquid, and a scattering prevention portion that prevents scattering of the liquid.
