Disclosed is a label printer having a driven carrier tape drawing roller; and a guide unit for the carrier tape, said guide unit being pivotably supported about a pivot axle between an operating position and an insertion position for the carrier tape, wherein the guide unit includes a counter-element to the printhead, configured to hold the carrier tape with the labels in contact with the printhead in the operating position; wherein, in the operating position, the carrier tape is led between the printhead and the counter-element and between the carrier tape drawing roller and the respective carrier tape pressure roller and can in particular be transported along a predefined carrier tape transport path; and wherein, in the insertion position of the guide unit, the counter-element is pivoted away from the printhead and the respective carrier tape pressure roller is pivoted away from the carrier tape drawing roller.

Disclosed is a label printer, having a first receiver for a printhead; at least two mutually different printhead units, each configured as a replaceable module and that each have a printhead, wherein one of the two printhead units is selectively received by the first receiver in an assembled state; a second receiver for a guide unit for the carrier tape having a counter-element to the printhead that is configured to hold the carrier tape with the labels in contact with the printhead; and at least two mutually different guide units for the carrier tape, each configured as a replaceable module and that each have a counter-element to the printhead that is configured to hold the carrier tape with the labels in contact with the printhead, wherein one of the two guide units for the carrier tape is selectively received by the second receiver in the assembled state.

An image is printed on the front surface M1 by discharging the inks to the front surface M from the discharge heads 321 (first head) facing the front surface M1 (recording surface) of the printing medium M from above. Thus, the inks discharged from the discharge heads 321 partially become mist to possibly produce ink mist. Accordingly, the ink cover 51 (first cover) is arranged between the discharge heads 321 and the front surface M1 of the printing medium M before the discharge heads 321 discharges the inks to the printing medium M. By providing the ink cover 51 for the front surface M1 of the printing medium M before printing in this way, the adhesion of the ink mist to this front surface M1 can be suppressed.

A recording device includes a transport unit configured to alternately repeat transport and stop of a recording medium, a recording head configured to discharge ink onto the recording medium to form an image while the recording medium is stopped in an image forming region, a drying unit including a plate in which a plurality of openings for blowing an air flow are formed in a position facing the recording medium transported by the transport unit, and being configured to dry the recording medium on which an image is formed by the recording head, and a relative movement unit configured to move the recording medium and the plate relatively in an intersecting direction that intersects a facing direction in which the recording medium and the plate face each other, while the recording medium is stopped in the image forming region.

A tape printing device includes a platen shaft that engages with a platen roller; a thermal head that prints on a tape sandwiched with the platen roller engaged with the platen shaft; a head holder that has a rotating shaft and rotatably holds the thermal head about the rotating shaft; and a pressing member that is provided to be rotatable about the rotating shaft together with the thermal head and presses the thermal head against the platen roller, in which the pressing member has a convex portion that protrudes toward the thermal head and presses the thermal head against the platen roller.

A printer includes: a platen configured to allow a rolled first recording medium and a sheet-like second recording medium to be placed thereon; and a guide table detachably provided on a base member and configured to guide movement of the second recording medium. The platen includes a first platen on which the first recording medium and the second recording medium are placed, and a second platen disposed ahead of the first platen, including an upper surface tilted obliquely downward from the rear toward the front, and configured to guide movement of the first recording medium. The guide table includes a placement portion including a flat upper surface which is located below the first platen and above a portion of the second platen and on which the second recording medium is placed.

In example implementations, a printing device is provided. The printing device includes a printer module, a first driver roller, and a second drive roller. The printer module includes a single set of print bars. A first side of the single set of print bars is to print on a first side of a continuous web of print media and a second side of the single set of print bars is to print on a second side of the continuous web of print media. The continuous web of print media travels over a common set of idler rollers. The first driver roller is to control an amount of tension of the continuous web of print media on a first side. The second drive roller is to control an amount of tension of the continuous web of print media on a second side. The amount of tension of the continuous web of print media on the second side is greater than the amount of tension of the continuous web of print media on the first side.

A conveyance apparatus includes a liquid discharge head unit, a conveyance rotator, and a plurality of detection devices. The liquid discharge head unit discharge liquid to an object conveyed in a conveyance direction. The conveyance rotator conveys the object. The plurality of detection devices output a detection result indicating a position of the object. The adjacent two of the plurality of detection devices are spaced at a prescribed distance. The prescribed distance is an integral multiple of a circumference of the conveyance rotator.
