A printer includes: a head that ejects ink; a storage portion that stores the ink to be supplied to the head and is coupled to the head; a main body that includes the head and the storage portion; a first handle portion that is grippable and provided in a left side surface of the main body; and a second handle portion that is grippable and provided in a right side surface of the main body, the right side surface facing the left side surface, in which the storage portion is provided at a position between the head and the left side surface in an X-axis direction, and the first handle portion is positioned higher than the second handle portion in the direction of gravity.

Liquid ejecting device

A liquid discharging apparatus includes a liquid discharging head that discharges a liquid onto a medium, a wiping mechanism that wipes a liquid discharging surface of the liquid discharging head and has a wiper portion that moves along an axis that is along the liquid discharging surface and wipes the liquid discharging surface, and an electric portion that is a portion related to controlling the liquid discharging apparatus includes at least one circuit substrate, in which a first direction along the axis the intersects a surface of the circuit substrate, and in the first direction, at least a part of the electric portion overlaps a part of the wiping mechanism.

Liquid discharging apparatus

A liquid ejecting device includes: a printing unit including a liquid ejecting head configured to eject a liquid to a medium and a head holder configured to form an air cooling path, and a cooling mechanism configured to cause air in the air cooling path to flow therethrough to air-cool the liquid ejecting head, wherein the printing unit is provided so as to be movable with respect to a transport path along which the medium is transported, the cooling mechanism includes a first air hole and a second air hole that are configured to be coupled to the air cooling path, and the air cooling path is coupled to one of the first air hole and the second air hole corresponding to a position of the printing unit.

There is provided a printing device which can reduce the frequency at which a consecutive overlap-feeding operation is performed in a state where an overlap error in which a preceding medium and a following medium are overlapped in reverse order is not corrected.

Printing device

A recording apparatus includes a recording head that includes a nozzle row which is provided with a plurality of nozzles discharging liquid to a medium along a transporting direction, and executes recording as one pass by discharging the liquid from the nozzles in accordance with movement in a scanning direction intersecting the transporting direction, a transporting unit that transports the medium to a position facing the nozzle row, and a controller that is capable of acquiring information relating to a length of the medium in the transporting direction and controls the recording head and the transporting unit, in which the controller determines the nozzle being used for a recording operation as one pass in the beginning in accordance with the acquired length of the medium, and executes a heading operation for feeding the medium to a position facing the determined nozzle.

Recording apparatus

A composite apparatus includes a recording device, a reading device that is disposed on the recording device and is able to read an image, a recording portion that is disposed within the recording device and is able to perform printing by ejecting ink on a paper sheet P, and a liquid accommodating portion that is disposed on a side portion of the recording device and which accommodates the ink to be supplied to the recording portion, in which the reading device is disposed such that a part of the reading device protrudes from the recording device to above the liquid accommodating portion.

Composite apparatus

The bottom surface of a paper cassette that supports recording paper is configured of a first bottom surface and a second bottom surface. The second bottom surface is formed of a swing member having a fulcrum at the downstream side in the paper feeding direction and being capable of swinging about the fulcrum with the upstream side in the paper feeding direction serving as a free end, thereby providing a structure in which an angle formed by the second bottom surface and a separation slope increases when the second bottom surface is caused to sink downward by a swing of the swing member.

Medium accommodation cassette, medium feeding device, and recording apparatus

A liquid ejection apparatus includes an apparatus main body, a liquid ejection head which is provided on the apparatus main body and ejects liquid onto a recording medium, a draw-out path which is provided on the apparatus main body, a waste liquid unit which is provided on the draw-out path in a detachable manner and reserves waste liquid wastefully ejected from the liquid ejection head, an opening from which a transportation path for transporting the recording medium is exposed, and an opening/closing unit which is provided to be capable of opening and closing the opening, and at least a part of which is located on the draw-out path and covers at least a part of the waste liquid unit in a state where the waste liquid unit is attached to the draw-out path and the opening is closed.

Liquid ejection apparatus

The present invention includes a stopper that regulates movement of the material onto which the recording will be performed, preventing the material from moving from a cassette to a guide surface when loading the cassette in a loading section, and a sensor that detects that the stopper is in the retracted position.

In a feeding course, a first design side end position Xsn of a paper is calculated. A first side end position of the paper is detected by a paper width detector, and the detected position is set to a first side end position Xd. When the paper is fed from an additional cassette and a paper end detection flag F=1, an ejection starting position adjustment amount &#x394;X=Xd&#x2212;Xsn is set. However, when the deviation amount is not |Xd&#x2212;Xsn|&#x2266;L, the ejection starting position adjustment amount &#x394;X is limited to a limit value L.

Recording apparatus and recording method in recording apparatus

A printing apparatus and a printing method with the object of preventing the feed of a sheet that is not the feeding target when performing sheet re-feeding.

Printing apparatus and printing method

There is provided a feeding guide unit that slides according to a width size of the feeding material in a receiving unit that receives a plurality of feeding materials, and a separation unit having an inclined surface structure that abuts on a tip of the fed feed material so that a separating load is exerted, and separates the following feed material to feed only the feed material at the uppermost position. The separating load of the separation unit is changed to at least two stages in conjunction with a movement in a width direction of the feeding guide unit.
