Provided are a recording apparatus, when a medium is discharged from a recording apparatus main body, which can achieve both of appropriate mounting of a medium in which the leading edge thereof is curled on a medium receiving tray, and reduction of damage to a medium when mediums of different sizes are mixed on the medium receiving tray.

Recording apparatus with receiving tray having projecting sections

Disclosed is a recording apparatus including a frame, a recording head that is disposed in the frame, and performs recording by ejecting a liquid onto a recording medium, a stay that is disposed with the frame, and supports a liquid accommodation body, which accommodates a liquid to be ejected from the recording head, outside the frame, an ink supply tube that supplies a liquid that is accommodated in the liquid accommodation body, which is supported by the stay, to the recording head, and a frame cover that is detachable from the frame.

Recording 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.

A printer includes: a liquid ejecting head which performs recording on a paper sheet by ejecting liquid; a housing in which the liquid ejecting head is stored; an operating panel which is provide in the housing; a liquid storing body which stores the liquid supplied to the liquid ejecting head; and a case which accommodates the liquid storing body. When a direction in which a sign on the operating panel faces is considered as a front surface of the printer and the housing, the case is mounted on a right side surface of the housing, and the case is mounted on the housing in a state of being inclined with respect to a depth direction of the printer.

There is provided a recording apparatus in which a case, in which a liquid container is accommodated, is reliably fixed to a housing with sufficient strength. A printer includes: a liquid ejecting head that ejects ink and performs recording on a sheet; a housing in which the liquid ejecting head is accommodated; a liquid container in which ink is contained; and a casein which the liquid container is accommodated. In the printer, a metal member is attached to at least one of a wall surface of the housing, which is made of a resin or a wall surface of the case, which is made of a resin, and the metal member reinforces the strength of an attachment portion of the housing with the case.

Recording apparatus with housing and attached case

In a configuration in which an ink accommodating portion is provided on the outside of an apparatus main body, an appropriate control for suppressing influence of noise can be performed. A recording apparatus includes a recording head that is capable of discharging liquid onto a medium, a controller that controls the recording head, a recording unit that includes the recording head and the controller, a tank unit that includes a liquid accommodating member accommodating the liquid and an electronic component holding information of the liquid accommodating member, a tube that guides the liquid from the liquid accommodating member to the inside of the recording unit, and an electric wiring that electrically connects the controller and the electronic component, in which the electric wiring includes a connection portion which connects cables, a cable on the electronic component side constituting a wiring of the electronic component side with respect to the connection portion, at least a part of which is wired in the tank unit, and a cable on the controller side constituting a wiring of the controller side with respect to the connection portion, at least a part of which is wired in the recording unit, a signal transmitted by the cable on the electronic component side includes an analog signal, and a signal transmitted by the cable on the controller side does not include an analog signal.

In a configuration in which an ink accommodating portion is provided on the outside of an apparatus main body, both improvement of maintenance and suppressing of performance deterioration of the apparatus are achieved. A recording apparatus includes a recording head that is capable of discharging liquid onto a medium, a controller that controls the recording head, a housing that covers a structure including the recording head and the controller, a case that stores a liquid accommodating member accommodating the liquid and an electronic component holding information of the liquid accommodating member, and is attached to the outside of the housing, a tube that guides the liquid from the liquid accommodating member to the inside of the housing, and an electric wiring that electrically connects the controller and the electronic component, in which the electric wiring includes a connection portion which connects cables, a cable on the controller side which constitutes a wiring of the controller side with respect to the connection portion, and a cable on the electronic component side which constitutes a wiring of the electronic component side with respect to the connection portion, and at least one of the cable on the controller side and the cable on the electronic component side is able to be connected to and disconnected from the connection portion.

Ink cases for printer

Ink case for printer

A recording apparatus includes a housing; a recording head that is provided inside the housing and records an image on paper by ejecting ink on the paper; a case that is attached to the housing in such a manner that the case can be separated from a side wall of the housing; and a first supply tube that supplies ink in a liquid container body contained in the case to the recording head. A through hole is provided in the side wall of the housing so as to allow the first supply tube to pass therethrough, and a through hole is provided in the case so as to allow the first supply tube to pass therethrough. The through hole in the case expands to be larger than the through hole in the side wall.

When a cover is assembled to a case, an access opening of the case is opened by an opening operation of the cover. A part which is close to a first end of a link is connected to the cover. A part which is close to a second end of the link is connected to a connecting portion of a decorative sheet. A second fastening portion of the decorative sheet is fastened with respect to a first fastening portion of the case (side wall forming member) by a fastening member which is inserted into the case from the access opening. At this time, even when an opening operation of the cover is restricted by the link and the access opening becomes narrower, it is possible to easily perform the fastening operation. For this reason, it is easy to perform an assembling operation of the cover with respect to the case.

Recording apparatus and assembling method of cover

A recording apparatus includes a recording head capable of ejecting ink to a sheet; a sheet cassette that holds the sheet; a transport unit that transports the sheet to the recording head; a chassis which contains the recording head and the transport unit and into which the sheet cassette is inserted; an insertion port which is formed in a side surface of the chassis and through which the sheet cassette is inserted; an ink container that contains the ink; a case which is mounted on at least one side surface adjacent to the side surface in which the insertion port of the chassis is formed and accommodates the ink container; and a supply unit (connection tube) that supplies the ink from the ink container to an inside of the chassis. A guard portion with higher rigidity than the case is formed on a lower side of the case.

An electronic apparatus includes a circuit portion having a connector to which an interface cable is connected, a case for accommodating the circuit portion and having a wiring route for the interface cable leading from the connector to an external space and a connection opening for exposing the wiring route, and a cover for opening or closing the connection opening.
