A difference unit may include a first sensor to identify a position of a first mark printed on a first web output from a first web press, a second sensor to identify a position of the first mark of the first web, a third sensor to identify a position of a second mark printed on a second web, and a synchronization engine to determine a synchronization difference between the first web and the second web based on the identification of the first mark and second mark as sensed by the second sensor and the third sensor.

Automatic sheet feeding of an installed roll is performed more reliably. To this end, a leading end of a sheet is detected on the basis of a change in an output value of a sensor while causing a roll to rotate in a winding direction using a sensor capable of detecting a distance to the sheet separated from the roll. After the detection, the roll is caused to rotate in a feeding direction, and a feeding state of the sheet is determined on the basis of a change in the output value of the sensor.

A media processing device includes: a print head extending across a media path, and configured to apply indicia to media; a platen roller assembly adjacent to the print head, the print head configured to draw the media from a media supply along the media path travelling between the print head and the platen roller assembly, the platen roller assembly including: (i) a first platen roller extending across a first portion of a width of the media path, and (ii) a second platen roller coaxial with the first platen roller, and extending across a second portion of the width of the media path; a drive assembly coupled with the first and second platen rollers, the drive assembly configured to selectively drive rotation of either or both of the first and second platen rollers.

A printing apparatus includes a first discharge path that discharges a sheet and a second discharge path different from the first discharge path. An angle difference between a direction in which the sheet is discharged in the second discharge path and a conveyance direction of a conveyance roller is less than an angle difference between a direction in which the sheet is discharged in the first discharge path and the conveyance direction of the conveyance roller. The printing apparatus includes a control unit that discharges the sheet on which the image is printed using the second discharge path even in a case where an instruction to print an image indicates discharging the sheet to the first discharge path, if the sheet conveyed by the conveyance roller is a sheet having a thickness equal to or greater than a predetermined value.

A recording device as a processing device includes: a recording unit accommodated in a housing and configured to perform recording on a medium; and a medium accommodating unit that accommodates the medium discharged from the housing. The medium accommodating unit includes: a sheet-shaped accommodating member; a rotating shaft provided inside the housing and to which one end of the accommodating member is connected; and an operating portion provided separably from the housing and to which the other end of the accommodating member is connected. The accommodating member is wound around the rotating shaft and accommodated inside the housing when the operating portion is mounted on the housing. The accommodating member is fed from the rotating shaft so that the medium is accommodated when the operating portion is separated from the housing.

A printing apparatus includes a printing unit configured to print an image on a sheet; a first exit path from which the sheet with the image printed thereon by the printing unit is discharged while being reversed; a second exit path from which the sheet with the image printed thereon by the printing unit is discharged without being reversed; and a switch member configured to be pivotably arranged so as to switch between the first exit path and the second exit path. The first exit path passes above a pivot center of the switch member, and the second exit path passes below the pivot center.

The printing apparatus includes a supply section that supports a plurality of rolls into which roll-paper strips are wound and supplies the roll-paper strips, a transport section that applies respective transporting forces to the supplied roll-paper strips and transports the roll-paper strips, a printing section that performs printing onto the transported roll-paper strips, and a tension-imparting section that individually imparts respective tensile forces to a plurality of roll-paper strips against the transporting forces.
