A medium supporting mechanism includes a medium supporting unit and a medium holding unit. The medium supporting unit includes a support face that supports a medium, a guide rail intersecting a transport direction in which the medium is transported, and an engaged portion positioned upstream of the first guide rail. The medium holding unit includes a holding portion that covers an edge of the medium in a width direction, an abutting portion movable between an abutting position and a separation position, a switching portion that switches a position of the abutting portion between the abutting position and the separation position, and an engaging portion engageable with the second guide rail. The medium holding unit includes a pressing portion downstream of the abutting portion in the transport direction. The pressing portion presses the support face to move a position of the holding portion in a direction away from the support face.

Medium supporting mechanism and printing apparatus

A recording apparatus capable of recording on a medium includes a recording unit configured to record on a medium, a transport unit configured to transport the medium, a winding unit configured to rotate about a rotation axis and windup the medium transported by the transport unit, and a first bar member configured to be wrapped around by a first surface of the medium, a second bar member disposed between the first bar member and the winding unit and configured to be wrapped around by a second surface of the medium, and an arm member swingable about a swing axis that coincides with the rotation axis, wherein the arm member supports the first bar member and the second bar member.

Recording apparatus and transport device

A recording device capable of preventing an occurrence of a transport wrinkle in a transport path is provided. A recording medium transport device includes a driving roller () and a driven roller () arranged such that a roller axial direction of the driving roller and a roller axial direction of the driven roller are parallel to each other, a recording medium () being transported by driving the driving roller () with the recording medium () held between the driving roller () and the driven roller (), and the driven roller () is movably supported from a predetermined position in the roller axial direction, and in a case where the driven roller () is separated from the driving roller () without holding the recording medium () between the driven roller and the driving roller (), the driven roller () moves to the predetermined position in the roller axial direction.

Recording medium transport device and recording device

The printing apparatus (liquid discharging apparatus) is provided with a support section that supports a medium, a discharge section that discharges ink on the medium supported on the support section, and a transport unit that transports the medium in a transport direction. The support section includes a support structure including a liquid permeable portion that supports the medium and allows ink to pass therethrough, and a liquid holding portion that holds ink that has passed through the liquid permeable portion.

Liquid discharging apparatus

A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a forming section which forms an image on a medium, a transport section which transports the medium in a first direction, and a heating section which heats a transport path on which the medium is transported, in which the forming section includes a first forming section which forms a pre-treatment liquid layer that includes a thermosetting resin on the medium, a liquid ejecting head which forms an image layer on the medium by ejecting liquid, and a second forming section which forms a post-treatment liquid layer that includes a thermosetting resin and is different from the pre-treatment liquid layer on the medium, and B&#x3c;A and B&#x3c;C in a case where content of the thermosetting resin in the pre-treatment liquid is A, content of the thermosetting resin in the liquid is B, and content of the thermosetting resin in the post-treatment liquid is C.

Liquid ejecting apparatus

Provided is a liquid discharge apparatus including a recording unit that discharges an ink, an UV irradiation unit that has an intake port, an exhaust port, an internal flow path which is communicated with the intake port and the exhaust port, and a filter which catches the ink, and an X axis movement section that supports the recording unit and the UV irradiation unit, and moves the recording unit and the UV irradiation unit in an X axis direction, in which the UV irradiation unit is supported by the X axis movement section on a rear side, and the exhaust port faces a front side.
