A liquid discharging apparatus includes a transporting belt having an endless shape stretched over a plurality of rollers and configured to rotate while supporting a medium by a support face being a face on an opposite side from a contact face with the roller, to transport the medium in a transport direction, a liquid discharging unit configured to discharge a liquid onto the medium supported by the support face, and a drying section configured to dry, from a side of the contact face, the liquid adhering to the contact face.

Liquid discharging apparatus

A liquid discharging apparatus includes a transporting belt having an endless shape stretched over a plurality of rollers and configured to rotate while supporting a medium, to transport the medium in a transport direction, a liquid discharging unit configured to discharge a liquid onto the medium, and a flat plate portion for supporting the transporting belt from a side of a contact face with the roller. the flat plate portion includes an edge extending from one end of the transporting belt to the other end of the transporting belt along an extending direction intersecting the transport direction, the edge being formed by a transporting belt support face for supporting the transporting belt and a face facing upstream in a rotation direction of the transporting belt when transporting the medium in the transport direction. the edge is disposed to abut against the transporting belt along the extending direction.

A recording device including a recording unit that performs recording on a medium by ejecting liquid, a transporting belt that has a base material having a first surface provided with an adhesive layer on which the medium is stuck and a second surface which is a surface opposite to the first surface, and the transporting belt transports the medium, a pressing unit that presses the medium against the transporting belt, a cleaning member that cleans the adhesive layer by contacting the adhesive layer, a storage unit in which water for cleaning the cleaning member is stored, and a cooling unit having a flow path through which water flows and a contacting unit that contacts the second surface. The contacting unit is coupled to the flow path, and contacts the second surface downstream of the pressing unit and upstream of the cleaning member in the revolving direction of the transporting belt.

Recording device

A printing apparatus includes an ejection unit including a nozzle surface configured to eject a liquid droplet, the nozzle surface facing a printing surface of a medium, a transport unit configured to transport the medium in a transport direction, a steam application unit configured to apply steam to the printing surface, the steam application unit being provided upstream of the ejection unit in the transport direction, and a medium compression unit configured to compress the medium, the medium compression unit being provided upstream of the ejection unit in the transport direction and downstream of the steam application unit in the transport direction.

Printing apparatus

Provided is a medium supply device including a spindle that supports a medium having a roll shape, a supplying portion that supplies the medium supported by the spindle toward outside, a plurality of support rollers that support the medium in positions between the spindle and the supplying portion, a moving roller that, in a contact position between the support rollers, is capable of coming into contact with a bridging medium extending across the support rollers in a state where a load is applied to the bridging medium and that is capable of moving from the contact position to a non-contact position of non-contact with the bridging medium, and a moving mechanism configured to move the moving roller from the contact position to the non-contact position.

Medium supply device

A liquid discharge apparatus includes a liquid discharge section configured to discharge liquid onto a medium, a holding section capable of holding a waste liquid container capable of containing waste liquid exhausted from the liquid discharge section, a sensor capable of detecting a state in which a containing amount of the waste liquid container has reached a threshold value, and a calculation section configured to calculate a waste liquid amount based on an exhaust amount of the waste liquid exhausted by the liquid discharge section. In the case where the sensor has detected the state in which the containing amount has reached the threshold value, the calculation section calculates the waste liquid amount by adding the exhaust amount of the waste liquid exhausted after the detection of the state by the sensor to the threshold value.

A printing apparatus includes a printing unit that prints on a roll paper, a transporting unit that transports the roll paper having been printed on along a transport surface, and a drying unit that performs a drying process (post-process) on the roll paper on the transport surface. The drying unit includes a cover (casing) that covers the roll paper on the transport surface. The cover has an inspection window that allows the roll paper on the transport surface to be visually inspected.

A recording device includes a recording unit and a medium support unit. The recording unit includes a recording head and a platen that faces the recording head in a first direction. The medium support unit is arranged below the recording unit such that the medium support unit overlaps the recording unit as viewed in the first direction. The medium support unit is configured to move, relative to the recording unit, in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The medium support unit has an up-down mechanism configured to move a support position of the recording medium upward in the first direction by being pulled from below the recording unit. The support position commences to move upward in the first direction after the medium support unit commences to move in the second direction relative to the recording unit during pulling of the medium support unit.

A recording device includes a recording unit that performs recording on a recording medium with the recording medium being stored in a rolled state and unrolled from one end. The recording device includes a pair of abutting rollers, a support roller and a movable mechanism. The abutting rollers face each other, and convey the recording medium while the recording medium is nipped between the abutting rollers. The support roller is arranged on a downstream side of the abutting rollers in a conveyance path of the recording medium. The support roller abuts the recording medium to support the recording medium. The movable mechanism changes a position of at least one of the abutting rollers to switch between an abutting state in which the other of the abutting rollers abuts the recording medium and a released state in which the other of the abutting rollers does not abut the recording medium.
