A printing apparatus, having a platen to support a printing medium unrolled from a roll, a conveyer to convey the printing medium on the platen in a first direction, a head to print an image on the printing medium supported by the platen at a position on one side of the platen in a second direction intersecting with the first direction, a corrugating member to corrugate the printing medium, and a cutter to cut the printing medium, is provided. The corrugating member has a plurality of ribs and pressor portions. The plurality of ribs align spaced from one another in a third direction, which intersects with the first direction and the second direction. The plurality of ribs protrude from the platen in the second direction. The presser portions press the printing medium toward the platen at intervening positions between adjoining ones of the plurality of ribs.

A printing apparatus includes: a printing head configured to discharge ink onto a recording medium to form an image; a platen including a support surface that supports the recording medium; and a recording medium holding portion being configured to hold a plurality of star wheels configured to hold the recording medium toward the support surface in a direction perpendicular to the support surface. In a case in which a maximum value of a height of the recording medium from the support surface in the direction perpendicular to the support surface is less than 2.2 mm when the recording medium passes between the support surface and the recording medium pressing portion, a load of one of the star wheels for holding the recording medium with presence of the recording medium holding portion is equal to or less than 4.5 gf.

A printing apparatus includes: a head configured to discharge an ink onto a continuous sheet to form an image; a platen including a support face that supports the continuous sheet; a star-wheel-unit holding unit disposed at a position that is downstream of the head in a transport direction of the continuous sheet and is opposed to the support face; and a star wheel unit configured to be attachable to and detachable from the star-wheel-unit holding unit and to support a plurality of star wheels configured to press the continuous sheet on a side of the support face.

Provided are a carriage structure capable of preventing a carriage from contacting a side edge of a print medium, without requiring a discharge roller and facilitating reducing device size, and a printer having the carriage structure. Disposed to a carriage 21 carrying and inkjet head 22 and moving bidirectionally through a range of movement including the conveyance path of a cut-sheet paper S are: a panel member 78 able to protrude in the direction of carriage 21 movement; and a moving mechanism 126 causing the panel member 78 to protrude to the conveyance path of the cut-sheet paper S when the carriage 21 is at a standby position (home position) set in the range of carriage 21 movement.

A printing device comprises a housing, a print head provided in the housing, a mount to which a roll body is detachably mounted, a conveyor configured to convey a printing medium unwounded from the roll body along a conveying path including an upstream path extending from the mount to the print head, and a cutter configured to cut the printing medium at a particular position in the upstream path. The roll body is a sheet type printing medium wounded into a rolled-up state. The conveyor comprises a holder arranged, in the upstream path, at a position between the cutter and the print head. The holder is configured to hold the printing medium in a state where the printing medium is deformed to be corrugated along a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction.

A printer can suppress paper lifting away from the platen surface even when conveying strong paper (regardless of paper strength) (a printer that can suppress paper uplift from the platen and is not easily affected by the type of paper). A printer 40 in which the platen surface 42a is on the inkjet head 21 side of a plane C through position A where paper 11 is held by a conveyance roller 36, and position B where the paper is held by a discharge roller, has: on the printhead 21 side of the plane C between the platen 42 and conveyance roller 36, at least one entry angle control unit 44 that contacts the paper 11 conveyed toward the platen surface 42a, and controls the entry angle of the paper 11 to the platen surface 42a; and on the printhead 21 side of the plane C between the platen 42 and the discharge roller 37, at least one exit angle control unit 46 that contacts the paper 11 conveyed in the direction away from the platen surface 42a, and controls the exit angle of the paper 11 from the platen surface 42a.

A method is provided that is implemented on a control device connected with an inkjet printer, which includes an inkjet head having an ink discharging surface, a head scanning unit reciprocating the inkjet head relative to a recording sheet along a scanning direction parallel to the ink discharging surface, and a wave shape generating mechanism deforming the recording sheet in a predetermined wave shape that has tops of portions protruding in a first direction toward the ink discharging surface and bottoms of portions recessed in a second direction opposite to the first direction alternately arranged along the scanning direction, the method including acquiring gap information related to a gap between the ink discharging surface and each individual one of the tops and the bottoms on the recording sheet, and determining whether the gap information acquired for each individual one of the tops and the bottoms is abnormal.

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.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing programs executable by a controller that causes a print execution device to execute printing is provided. The print execution device includes: a print head provided with nozzles aligned in a sub scanning direction; a holding member which holds a part of a printing medium conveyed in the sub scanning direction; and a head driving device which causes the print head to execute a main scanning operation. The programs cause the controller to execute: a first acquiring process for acquiring first object data which represents a first object image to be printed on a first sticky note; a generating process for generating printing data for the print execution device to execute the printing of the first object image on the first sticky note by utilizing the first object data; and a supply process for supplying the printing data to the print execution device.

A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a first transport roller, and a second transport roller which transports a medium; and a liquid ejecting head which includes a plurality of nozzle openings, and ejects liquid toward the medium which is transported, a pressure generation unit which causes a change in pressure in liquid in a flow path, and a wiring board of which one face is arranged so as to face a direction in which the liquid is ejected, and is electrically connected to the pressure generation unit, in which the wiring board is arranged between the first transport roller and the second transport roller, and is arranged at a position at which the wiring board does not overlap with the first transport roller and the second transport roller and the first transport roller or the second transport roller is arranged at a position at which the roller overlaps with the liquid ejecting head.
