Provided is a printing apparatus performing printing on a sheet drawn out from a roll, comprising: a roll holding unit; a support unit rotatably supporting the roll holding unit; a core portion provided to the roll holding unit and inserted into a hollow portion of the core pipe from an end portion of the core pipe to extend along an axis of the core pipe; a first contact member provided to the core portion and elastically deformed to a position where the first contact member presses a first portion of an inner wall surrounding the hollow portion of the core pipe; and a second contact member provided to the core portion at a position that is different from the position where the first contact member is provided and elastically deformed to a position where the second contact member presses a second portion of the inner wall.

A printing jig includes bases to be fitted to a printing apparatus, a first holder fittable to each of the bases, and a second holder fittable to each of the bases. The first holder is able to hold one or more first substrates. The second holder is able to hold one or more second substrates different in size from the first substrate or substrates. The first holder includes a first fitting portion to be fitted to each of the bases. The second holder includes a second fitting portion to be fitted to each of the bases. Each of the bases is structured such that the first fitting portion and the second fitting portion are both fittable thereto.

A thermal-transfer printing apparatus includes a roll-paper-supplying unit that rotates an image-receiving paper roll and unwinds and winds a roll type of first image-receiving paper, and a print unit that includes a thermal head for heating a thermal transfer sheet and that forms an image by transferring a color material from the thermal transfer sheet to the first image-receiving paper. With the image-receiving paper roll removed, a reverse unit that reverses a sheet type of second image-receiving paper is mountable in a region in which the image-receiving paper roll used to be contained. The print unit forms the image on the first image-receiving paper in a first printing mode in which the image-receiving paper roll is contained in the region, and the print unit forms an image on both surfaces of the second image-receiving paper in a second printing mode in which the reverse unit is mounted on the region.

A recording apparatus includes an apparatus main body including a recording portion, a media receiving portion configured to be displaced along a discharge direction in which the first medium and the second medium are discharged, and that is displaced between a storage position in which the media receiving portion is stored in the apparatus main body and stacking positions in which the media receiving portion protrudes from the storage position and receives the media, a drive source that drives the media receiving portion, at the stacking positions, discharges the second medium after having received the first medium at a first position, the media receiving portion is displaced to a second position downstream of the first position in the discharge direction at a timing at which a downstream end portion of the to-be-discharged second medium in the discharge direction overlaps the first medium at the first position.

An electric paper tray includes a base, a paper holding element pivotally mounted to at least one side of the base, a power unit arranged at the base, and a lifting module connected between the paper holding element and the power unit. The lifting module is movably mounted under the paper holding element. When the lifting module is driven by the power unit to move to a first position, with respect to the base, the lifting module drives the paper holding element to make the paper holding element rotate to a closed position, when the lifting module is driven by the power unit to move to a second position, with respect to the base, the lifting module drives the paper holding element to make the paper holding element rotate to an opened position.

A printer includes a liquid discharge head configured to discharge a liquid to a print target, a holder configured to hold the print target, and a height detector configured to detect the print target on the holder at a first height and at a second height lower than the first height.

A recording apparatus includes a recording section that performs recording on a medium, a housing that houses the recording section, a tray configured to move to a loading position in which to load the medium to be subjected to recording and ejected and a stowage position in which the tray is stowed in the housing, and a switching unit that switches between an automatic mode in which to automatically move the tray to the loading position and the stowage position and a manual mode in which to manually move the tray to the loading position and the stowage position.

A recording device has: a recording head configured to perform recording on a medium; a medium storage below the recording head configured to store the medium to be recoded; a supply path comprising a first curved supply path curved so as to be convex upward and transporting the medium fed out of the medium storage in a reversed direction via the first curved supply path; and a reversing path comprising a second curved path curved so as to be convex downward and transporting the recorded medium into a direction including a vertically upward component via second curved path from a direction including a vertically downward component; wherein the supply path joins the reversing path, and the first curved path and the second curved path overlap when viewed horizontally.
