Provided is a printing apparatus that can be downsized while degradation in the print quality is suppressed. To perform skew correction on a second print medium on which printing is to be performed subsequent to a first print medium, a first conveying unit disposed upstream of the printing position where the printing unit performs printing on the print medium is stopped. Then, driving and stopping a third conveying unit disposed downstream of a second conveying unit is controlled, depending on whether the first print medium after printing has already passed by the second conveying unit when the first conveying unit is stopped, the second conveying unit being driven by the same driving source as for the first conveying unit and is disposed downstream of the printing position.

A registration system for a printing device and a method for controlling the same are disclosed. For example, the registration system includes at least one sensor to detect a position of a print media, at least one laterally adjustable nip, wherein the laterally adjustable nip moves along an inboard direction and an outboard direction, a motor coupled to the at least one laterally adjustable nip to move the at least one laterally adjustable nip a desired amount of movement based on the position of the print media and a width of the print media, and a processor communicatively coupled to the at least one sensor and the motor to calculate a desired amount of movement based on the position of the print media and control the motor to move the at least one laterally adjustable nip by the desired amount of movement.

A transport roller for a printing apparatus transports a medium. The transport roller includes a shaft that extends in a direction intersecting a transport direction of the medium, and a wheel group in which a plurality of toothed wheels arrayed in the direction in which the shaft extends are held by holders. The toothed wheel includes non-formation portions having no teeth. The non-formation portions of the plurality of toothed wheels of the wheel group are arranged with an interval therebetween in a circumferential direction of the toothed wheels. The non-formation portions are cut portions that are formed when the toothed wheel is cut off from a base. The teeth other than the teeth adjacent to the cut portions are arranged away from each other at regular intervals in a circumferential direction of the wheel group.

There is provided an intermediate unit including a transportation path along which a paper sheet, on which printing has been performed by a printing unit that performs printing on the paper sheet as a medium by using liquid, can be transported to a post processing unit that performs post processing on the paper sheet, in which the transportation path is provided with a drying unit that accelerates the drying of the paper sheet.

A recording apparatus includes a printing unit that performs a recording on a first cut sheet, a sheet feed tray on which the first cut sheet is mounted, a sheet feed roller that transport the first cut sheet in a transport direction from the sheet feed tray toward the printing unit, a transport roller disposed downstream of the sheet feed roller in the transport direction and that holds the first cut sheet with a driven roller to transport the first cut sheet in the transport direction, and a single motor that drives the sheet feed roller and the transport roller, in which when the sheet feed roller and the transport roller are simultaneously driven by the single motor, a transport speed of the first cut sheet by the sheet feed roller is configured to be higher than a transport speed of the first cut sheet by the transport roller.
