An image reading apparatus including: a conveyor that conveys a sheet on which an image is formed by an image forming apparatus; a reader that reads the sheet conveyed by the conveyor, by using a contact image sensor; and a first hardware processor that extracts an edge of the sheet by analyzing a read image by the reader, calculates a blur amount of the edge based on the extracted edge, and calculates a curl amount of the sheet based on the calculated blur amount.

A post processing device includes: a processing tray that supports media on which post processing is performed; a post processing section configured to perform post processing on the medium supported by the processing tray; and a blowing section configured to blow air at the medium supported by the processing tray, wherein a control section for controlling the blowing section sets a blowing amount by the blowing section to a first blowing amount when the number of sheets of medium supported by the processing tray is less than a predetermined set number of sheets and sets a blowing amount by the blowing section to a second blowing amount, which is larger than the first blowing amount, when the number of sheets of medium supported by the processing tray is equal to or greater than the set number of sheets.

According to one aspect, a web handling system comprises a plurality of cross-grooved idler rollers, an imaging drum, a nip roller adjacent the imaging drum and forming a nip therewith, and a spreader roller disposed between the plurality of idler rollers and the nip roller. Each idler roller is disposed no more than a first distance from an adjacent idler roller, spreader roller, and nip roller and the spreader roller is disposed no more than a second distance from the nip. The first distance is in a range of 38 to 28 inches, 36 to 30 inches, or 35 to 33 inches and the second distance is in a range of 6 to 11 inches, 6.5 to 9 inches, or 7.0 to 8.5 inches.

A method of printing a tag and attaching the tag to a bag for printing, severing and feeding non-curled tags to sewing machines. The method of printing a tag and attaching the tag to a bag comprising providing a control unit, a bag conveyor, a bag switch, a printer unit, a guide plate sensor, and a feeder assembly; feeding print material into the printer unit through a side entry port; printing and severing a tag; dispensing the tag from an exit port of the printer unit to the staging assembly; and subsequently dispensing the tag upon demand into the feeder assembly for movement to the tag attaching system.

A post-processing device includes a processing tray on which a medium on which recording was performed by a recording unit is loaded, a rear end alignment unit that aligns a rear end (an example of an end portion) of the medium on the processing tray, a post-processing unit that performs post-processing on the medium aligned by the rear end alignment unit, and a pressing member that presses the rear end of the medium. The post-processing unit is configured to be movable. The pressing member is provided to be rotatable in conjunction with movement of the post-processing unit, in a state in which the pressing member is in contact with the medium aligned by the rear end alignment unit.

A recording apparatus includes a printing portion, a first conveying portion, and a second conveying portion. The printing portion ejects liquid to print a medium having elasticity. The first conveying portion is disposed upstream of the printing portion in a conveying direction along which the medium is conveyed to the printing portion, and conveys the medium while stretching the medium in the conveying direction and in a width direction orthogonal to the conveying direction. The second conveying portion conveys the medium conveyed by the first conveying portion while keeping the medium facing the printing portion.

A printer includes a reverse bending member that bends a paper toward an opposite side to a curl of the paper, and a bifurcated member to correct the curl of the paper with the reverse bending member. The reverse bending member is disposed between a paper drawing position and a paper feeding roller. The bifurcated member is swingably arranged about a shaft extending in a width direction of the paper. The bifurcated member includes an upstream arm and a downstream arm. The upstream arm has a tip positioned between the rolled paper and the reverse bending member, and moves toward or from the reverse bending member. The downstream arm has a tip positioned between the reverse bending member and the feeding roller to be in contact with the paper, and rotates in accordance with a tension level of the paper to press the upstream arm toward the reverse bending member.

A recording apparatus includes a printing portion and a first conveying portion. The printing portion ejects liquid to print a medium having elasticity. The first conveying portion is disposed upstream of the printing portion in a conveying direction along which the medium is conveyed to the printing portion. The first conveying portion includes at least two conveying bodies disposed in the conveying direction and around which the medium is alternately wound. The conveying bodies each include a shaft extending in a width direction orthogonal to the conveying direction and a plurality of rollers rotatably supported by the shaft. The plurality of rollers are supported to be inclined outward with respect to the conveying direction from upstream to downstream in the conveying direction.

An inkjet recording apparatus includes a printing portion configured to discharge ink on a sheet, a drying portion configured to blow warm air to the sheet to dry ink, a first rotary member is in contact with the first surface of the sheet, a heating portion configured to heat the first rotary member, a second rotary member configured to form a nip portion that apply heat and pressure to the sheet, a first detection unit configured to detect a temperature of the first rotary member, a second detection unit configured to detect a temperature of the second rotary member, a cooling unit configured to cool the second rotary member, and a control unit configured to execute a cooling mode of activating the cooling unit in a state where a temperature difference between the first rotary member and the second rotary member is smaller than a threshold.
