A printing apparatus, a printing method, and a control apparatus are provided that are capable of reliably preventing a printing unit from colliding, when a first press member or a second press member is displaced, with a displaced press member, and then allowing the printing unit to quickly restart a printing operation. A printing apparatus includes a transport unit configured to transport a work as a recording medium, a printing unit configured to perform printing on the work while moving in a width direction of the work, a first press member configured to press one side of the work in the width direction, a second press member configured to press another side of the work in the width direction, and a detecting unit configured to detect each of a displacement of the first press member in a vertical direction.

A printer includes a first holding shaft holding side pinch rollers and at least one center pinch roller, grit rollers moving a recording medium while holding the recording medium together with the side pinch rollers and together with the center pinch roller, and a rotator rotating the first holding shaft to cause the side pinch rollers and the center pinch roller to approach, or to be separated from, the grit rollers. The center pinch roller is movable in a direction to be separated from the recording medium, independently from the side pinch rollers.

An inkjet printer is provided, which is configured to acquire gap information related to a gap between an ink discharging surface and a recording sheet in each individual position of top-formed positions and bottom-formed positions within a predetermined wave-shape generating range, identify, when the predetermined wave-shape generating range includes a partial range in which the recording sheet is not placed, a top-formed position where the gap information has not been acquired and a bottom-formed position where the gap information has not been acquired, within the partial range, complement the unacquired gap information in the identified top-formed position with a value determined based on the respective pieces of gap information acquired in other top-formed positions, and complement the unacquired gap information in the identified bottom-formed position with a value determined based on the respective pieces of gap information acquired in other bottom-formed positions.

An embodiment of the present invention includes a media processing device comprising: a housing; a media bay within the housing, the media bay configured to receive media; a media centering assembly within the media bay, the media centering assembly comprising: a first support; and a first strut attached to the first support, wherein the first strut is configured to stabilize the first support via contact between a ground strip and the first strut.

A conveying device includes a blower and a conveyor. The blower blows air to a sheet material. The conveyor conveys the sheet material through a blowing region of the blower. The conveyor includes a surface movable member and a presser. The surface movable member conveys the sheet material with movement of a surface of the surface movable member, with a back side of the sheet material supported with the surface movable member. The presser presses at least a portion of a leading end of the sheet material toward the surface movable member in at least an area from a position upstream from the blowing region in a conveyance direction of the sheet material to a position in the blowing region of the blower.

A liquid discharging device including a transporting unit configured to transport a medium in a transport direction, a winding unit disposed on a downstream side of the transporting unit in the transport direction and configured to wind the medium, a recording head disposed between the transporting unit and the winding unit and configured to discharge ink onto the medium positioned in a discharge range, a medium supporting unit configured to support the medium positioned in the discharge range, and a medium guide unit disposed on a downstream side of the medium supporting unit in the transport direction, and heated by a heater, and moreover including a curved portion curved in a direction away from the recording head, wherein the curved portion includes a curved portion side convex portion group including curved portion side convex portions projecting in a direction approaching the recording head and arranged in an X direction.

The image forming apparatus includes an ejection portion, a guide portion, a plurality of heating elements, a determination processing portion, and a drive control portion. The ejection portion ejects ink toward a first surface of a strip-shaped medium. The guide portion is provided at a position sandwiching the medium between the guide portion and the ejection portion, and forms a guide surface that guides the medium by coming into contact with a second surface on a rear side of the first surface of the medium. The plurality of heating elements are arranged along a width direction of the medium below the guide surface. The determination processing portion determines the heating elements to be driven based on the width of the medium. The drive control portion drives the heating elements determined by the determination processing portion as heating elements to be driven.

This application discloses processing equipment, electrode plate processing equipment, battery processing equipment, and a sheet processing method. The processing equipment includes a rotation roller and a laser assembly. The rotation roller is rotatable around a first axis. An outer peripheral surface of the rotation roller around the first axis is configured to allow winding of a sheet. The outer peripheral surface of the rotation roller is able to move synchronously with the sheet around the first axis. The laser assembly is disposed on the rotation roller and able to rotate with the rotation roller. The laser assembly is configured to drive a laser beam to be emitted toward the sheet, and further configured to drive the laser beam to move linearly and/or oscillate around a second axis that intersects the first axis.

An ink-jet recording apparatus includes a recording head, an irregularity detecting unit, a recording medium conveyance unit, and a control unit. The irregularity detecting unit detects an irregularity with the recording medium conveyed toward the recording head. The recording medium conveyance unit has a recording medium diversion unit into which the recording medium with which an irregularity has been detected by the irregularity detecting unit is conveyed. The control unit can perform flushing operation and, when the irregularity detecting unit detects an irregularity with the recording medium, the control unit cancels the flushing operation set immediately before the recording medium with which the irregularity has been detected and conveys, by controlling the recording medium conveyance unit, the recording medium to the recording medium diversion unit.
