A printing apparatus includes: a recording head, discharging ink to a recording medium; a roller, having an outer circumferential surface provided for ink idly discharged from the recording head to be attached; a motor, rotating the roller in a predetermined direction; and a scraper, provided to scrape off the ink attached to the outer circumferential surface of the roller in a state in which the roller rotates in the predetermined direction. The scraper has: a recessed surface making surface contact with the outer circumferential surface of the roller; and a notch part formed at an end of the recessed surface, making line contact with the outer circumferential surface of the roller, and recessed in a substantially shape along a rotation direction of the roller and from the end of the recessed surface toward another end.

An image processing apparatus that generates overcoat transfer data for transferring an overcoat onto an image formed on a recording sheet, generates a line image to be added to the overcoat, and converts the line image into a drawing part to be added to the overcoat. The drawing part includes an outline part and an area inside the outline part, the outline part is formed from pixels having a first glossiness, the area inside the outline part is formed as a mixed pattern part in which pixels having the first glossiness and pixels having a second glossiness higher than the first glossiness are mixed, and the area outside the outline part is formed from pixels having the second glossiness.

A recording apparatus 101 includes a carriage 21 mounted with a liquid storage portion 46 and a recording head 22, the carriage 21 being movable to a visual check position, where liquid in the liquid storage portion 46 is visually checkable through a front surface 43F, and to a recording position, where the recording head 22 ejects the liquid to a medium, and light emitting units 81 and capable of illuminating the inside of the liquid storage portion 46 at least when the carriage 21 is positioned at the visual check position.

A printer includes a head, a lamp, a first sensor, and a processor. The head is configured to eject photocurable ink onto the object to be printed. The lamp is configured to irradiate light onto the object to be printed. The first sensor is configured to detect a temperature inside the printer. The processor causes the first sensor to acquire the temperature inside the printer. The processor acquires, based on the print data, a duty ratio indicating a printing ratio when ejecting the ink onto an ejection region of the object to be printed. The processor increases a number of times of a flushing operation compared to a predetermined reference number of times, when the acquired duty ratio is a low duty ratio lower than a predetermined reference duty ratio, and the temperature detected by the first sensor is higher than a predetermined reference temperature.

In a transport device, a cover defining a portion of a transport path is pivotable between a closed state and an open state. The cover is movable while in the closed state between a first position and a second position lower than the first position. An urging member urges the cover from the second position toward the first position. The cover includes a main body for guiding the sheet in the transport direction and an engagement portion engaged with a frame when the cover is at the first position to restrict pivoting of the cover from the first position to a third position at which the cover is in the open state. The engagement portion is disengaged from the frame when the cover is at the second position to allow pivoting of the cover from the second position to the third position.

A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a printing portion and a control portion. The printing portion executes a printing operation including ejecting a liquid from a nozzle onto a medium. The control portion executes an initial operation upon supply of power and executes the printing operation in accordance with a print instruction. The initial operation and the printing operation include a common printing operation that is common to the initial operation and the printing operation. When the control portion does not receive the print instruction during execution of the initial operation, the control portion executes the initial operation including the common printing operation. When the control portion receives the print instruction during execution of the initial operation, the control portion omits the common printing operation from the initial operation.

Provided is a discharged liquid container detachable to an apparatus having an outlet portion from which discharged liquid is to be drained, and configured to contain the discharged liquid drained from the outlet portion. The discharged liquid container includes a casing inside which the discharged liquid is containable, a connection portion provided in a first face of the casing and configured to be coupled to the outlet portion, and a lid portion configured to change in position between a closed state for covering the connection portion and an open state for opening the connection portion. The lid portion is configured to be in the open state in a state of attachment of the casing to the apparatus and be in the closed state in a state of detachment of the casing from the apparatus.

A print device includes a head, a medium holding portion, an opening/closing cover, a feed path, a sensor, a window portion, and a blocking wall. The medium holding portion holds the medium and open to allow the medium to be taken out and put in. The opening/closing cover opens and closes an opening in the medium holding portion. The feed path extends from the medium holding portion toward the head and feeding the medium. The sensor is provided in the feed path. The window portion is provided in a position corresponding to between the sensor and the head, in a wall portion of the case, and allows the inside of the case to be seen from outside. The blocking wall is provided between the sensor and the window portion, and blocks a light coming in through the window portion toward the sensor.
