A post-processing unit includes a punch unit that punches a paper on which recording is performed by a recording unit that discharges ink, and a controller that controls a punching operation of the punch unit. The controller sets at least one of the number of punching and a punching speed per paper in the punch unit based on setting information of at least one of recording information and environmental information in the recording unit.

Post-processing device and printing device

A discharging device includes: a pair of medium supporting portions that are provided so as to face each other in a width direction intersecting a transporting direction in which a medium is transported and that support the medium that is transported; and a stacking portion that is provided vertically below the pair of medium supporting portions and on which the medium that drops from the pair of medium supporting portions is stacked, each of the pair of medium supporting portions is configured to move in the width direction, the pair of medium supporting portions are configured to be arranged, after the medium is dropped onto the stacking portion, at positions at which a distance in the width direction becomes a predetermined distance, and the predetermined distance varies in accordance with a width of the medium stacked on the stacking portion.

Discharging device, processing apparatus, and recording system

A lead-in path through which a sheet is led in; a first branch path and a second branch path which branch from the lead-in path; a first switchback path which extends from the first branch path; a second switchback path which extends from the second branch path; a first joining path and a second joining path through which the switched-back sheet is transported; and a lead-out path which extends from a joining point at which the first joining path and the second joining path join with each other, are provided. The lead-out path passes through between the first switchback path and the second switchback path. A first connection point at which the first switchback path and the first joining path are connected to each other is disposed above a second connection point at which the second switchback path and the second joining path are connected to each other.

Transport apparatus

A printing apparatus capable of closing a pivotable discharge portion with respect to a body.

Printing apparatus

A printer includes a printing unit, a casing, a scanner unit disposed in an upper portion of the casing, and a discharge unit that, below the scanner unit, is connected to the casing pivotably between a closed position and an open position and that a sheet of paper is discharged to. The discharge unit includes a placement surface for the sheet and a medium support unit capable of supporting the sheet from below while in a state of being protruded from the placement surface. The medium support unit is displaceable between a maximum protruded position and a minimum protruded position. When the amount of protrusion of the medium support unit from the placement surface when the discharge unit is in the open position is less than the amount of protrusion of the medium support unit in the maximum protruded position from the placement surface.

Printing apparatus and control method for the printing apparatus

A recording apparatus includes a recording unit which performs recording on a sheet which is transported along a transport path, a printer unit which accommodates the recording unit, a medium discharging port from which the sheet on which recording is performed by the recording unit is discharged, and a placing table which is located at a higher part of the recording unit, receives and supports the sheet which is discharged by the medium discharging port, and is provided in an openable-closable manner with respect to the printer unit. In addition, an access path through which it is possible to access the recording unit from the higher part by causing the placing table to be opened is formed.

Recording apparatus having access path to recording unit

A recording apparatus includes a body, an operation panel provided on a front surface of the body, a feeding cassette that accommodates sheets, removably mounted with respect to the body from the front surface of the body, and is configured such that a part thereof is protruded from body in a state of being mounted on the body, a recording section that is disposed inside the body and performs printing by ejecting ink onto a sheet transported from the feeding cassette, a discharging tray that is disposed on the feeding cassette and supports the sheet after printing is completed, and a body-side cover section that is provided in the body and covers both side surfaces of the feeding cassette. Then, when viewed from a right and left direction, a first farthest section that is positioned in the farthest position from the body in the feeding cassette in a front direction is separated from the body in the front direction further than a second farthest section that is positioned in the farthest position from the body in the operation panel in the front direction.

Recording apparatus

A recording apparatus includes: a first transporting path which is a transporting path that transports a medium, passes along a recording portion that performs recording on the medium, and extends to an upstream side and a downstream side of the recording portion; a second transporting path which is a transporting path that is connected to the first transporting path, and switches back and transports the medium in a direction reverse to a feeding direction after the medium which passes along the recording portion is fed; and a third transporting path which is a transporting path that is connected to the second transporting path, makes the medium transported in the reverse direction detour an upper side of the recording portion, reverses the medium, and makes the medium merge at a position on the upstream side of the recording portion in the first transporting path.

A sheet cassette includes a cassette main body which forms a sheet accommodating region; an edge guide which is slidable to a position corresponding to a size of a medium; a guide groove which extends along a sliding direction of the edge guide and guides the edge guide in the sliding direction, and into which a portion of the edge guide is inserted; and a widening allowance groove which is provided with a predetermined distance from the guide groove, and allows widening of the guide groove when a portion of the edge guide is inserted into the guide groove.

Medium mounting mechanism and recording apparatus

A recording apparatus includes a medium cassette provided with a medium accommodation tray that has a medium accommodation unit for accommodating a medium which is transported to a recording unit, and a paper discharge tray that is disposed on the upper side of the medium accommodation tray and that receives a medium on which recording has been performed at the recording unit. The paper discharge tray has a cutout formed from an end portion of the paper discharge tray which is on a feed-out side in a transport direction of the medium accommodation unit, and the cutout exposes the medium accommodation unit.

Medium cassette and recording apparatus

A medium feeding device includes a medium feeding unit that feeds a medium placed in a set position, and a friction separation member that is disposed downstream of the medium feeding unit and is configured to come into contact with the underside of the medium, the friction separation member being deformable, and feed path restriction members that are arranged such that the friction separation member is located between the feed path restriction members, the contact portion of the feed path restriction member which comes into contact with the topside of the medium being located at a position lower than the upper surface of the friction separation member.

Medium feeding device, scanner and recording apparatus

A recording apparatus includes a lower tray which is detachably mounted to an apparatus body, an upper tray provided above the lower tray, which is detachably mounted to the apparatus body, and a feeding roller capable of contacting each of a recording medium stored in the lower tray and the recording medium stored in the upper tray from above. The feeding roller is supported at an intermediate position, which is lower than a position of the feeding roller reached when the feeding roller contacts a bottom surface of the upper tray and higher than a position of the feeding roller reached when the feeding roller contacts a recording medium set as a top sheet in a state in which a maximum number of recording media are stored in the lower tray, in an unmounted state of the upper tray and the lower tray.
