In one example, a shroud to protect a group of printheads in a printhead assembly includes openings through which the printheads are exposed when the shroud is installed on the printhead assembly and an elongated protrusion along an exterior surface next to the openings to block print media from contacting the exposed part of the printheads during printing when the shroud is installed on the printhead assembly.

In an example, an edge holder may include a strap, a first end cap fixed to the strap, and a second end cap fixed to an opposite end of the strap from the first end cap. The second end cap may include a fixed end and a cam engaged with the fixed end. The cam may adjustably tension the strap between the first end cap and the second end cap.

Provided is a liquid ejecting apparatus that includes a support unit configured to support a medium, an ejection unit configured to eject a liquid onto the medium that is transported while being supported by the support unit, and a plate-like pressing unit configured to press, against the support unit, an end portion in a width direction intersecting with a transport direction of the medium being transported in a region opposing the ejection unit. The pressing unit includes regions with different distances therefrom to the support unit via the medium.

An inkjet printer including a feeding device configured to feed a sheet in a feeding direction, a platen configured to support the sheet, a recording device configured to eject ink on the sheet, contacting members configured to contact the sheet, a detector configured to detect an end portion position of the sheet in a width direction, and a controller configured to control the feeding device and the recording device is provided. The contacting members are arranged at intervals in the width direction, and the controller performs a suppression process in which at least one of the feeding device and the recording device is controlled to suppress a contact of the sheet with the recording device when the end portion position detected by the detector is a position between the two adjacent contacting members.

An inkjet printer is provided that is configured to store a plurality of pieces of gap information respectively corresponding to a plurality of examined sections discretely arranged along a head moving direction on a recording sheet, each of the plurality of examined sections including a corresponding one portion of top portions and bottom portions on the recording sheet, and calculate interpolation gap information to be interpolated over a whole width in the head moving direction of at least one of a plurality of segments, each of which has a width in the head moving direction defined by two adjacent sections of the plurality of examined sections, based on the stored gap information.

There is provided a liquid jetting apparatus including a conveyor, a liquid jet head, a carriage, a carriage moving device, and a controller. The controller carries out printing by repeating a scan-printing operation and a conveyance operation, and carries out a process of determining a jet-timing such that the jet-timing and a predetermined reference timing may deviate oppositely from each other between a print area on the upstream side and a print area on the downstream side along a scanning direction for the carriage to move in the scan-printing operation with respect to a predetermined reference position in the scanning direction, based on a value of a correction parameter. The correction parameter is set to the same value for nozzles included in an identical one of nozzle groups and to different values for the corresponding nozzles included in different ones of the nozzle groups.

A recording device has: a recording head configured to perform recording on a medium; a medium storage below the recording head configured to store the medium to be recoded; a supply path comprising a first curved supply path curved so as to be convex upward and transporting the medium fed out of the medium storage in a reversed direction via the first curved supply path; and a reversing path comprising a second curved path curved so as to be convex downward and transporting the recorded medium into a direction including a vertically upward component via second curved path from a direction including a vertically downward component; wherein the supply path joins the reversing path, and the first curved path and the second curved path overlap when viewed horizontally.

A liquid spray device includes: a liquid spray head including a spray surface provided with a plurality of nozzles that spray liquid to a medium; a conveyance mechanism that includes an opposing surface opposite to the spray surface and conveys the medium in a first direction between the spray surface and the opposing surface; a plurality of protrusions protruding from the spray surface, and arranged in a second direction which is intersecting with the first direction; and a plurality of supports protruding from the opposing surface to support the medium being conveyed, and arranged in the second direction. The protrusions each have at least a part overlapping with a position other than a middle area between the supports adjacent to each other.

A web printing apparatus comprising a support platen facing the processing station for supporting the web, when being processed by the processing station and a first guard for guarding a side edge of a web, the first guard being connectable to the support platen for guiding the web along a transport path, when the web is processed by the processing station. A detector is provided for detecting the first guard when connected to the support platen as well as a control unit configured for controlling the processing station to process the web, wherein the control unit is configured to identify the guard based on a detection signal provided by the detector to the control unit. Thereby, the first guard is identified by the control unit which may then control the movement of the print carriage to avoid the first guard, preventing collisions.

An interleave member including a media control conforming surface and a media, crash prevention surface. The media crash prevention surface to periodically contact and guide the media to the media control conforming surface. The media control conforming surface conforming to a surface of the media control member.
