A recording apparatus includes a printing portion and a first conveying portion. The printing portion ejects liquid to print a medium having elasticity. The first conveying portion is disposed upstream of the printing portion in a conveying direction along which the medium is conveyed to the printing portion. The first conveying portion includes at least two conveying bodies disposed in the conveying direction and around which the medium is alternately wound. The conveying bodies each include a shaft extending in a width direction orthogonal to the conveying direction and a plurality of rollers rotatably supported by the shaft. The plurality of rollers are supported to be inclined outward with respect to the conveying direction from upstream to downstream in the conveying direction.

A medium transport device includes a first roller that applies a transporting force to a medium, a second roller that applies a transporting force to the medium transported from the first roller, a third roller that applies a transporting force to the medium transported from the second roller, a first rotor that transmits rotational torque to the third roller, a first shaft that is provided away from the first rotor at a first interval, and a second shaft that is provided away from the first rotor at the first interval and at a position different from a position of the first shaft. A shaft center of the first shaft and a shaft center of the second shaft are positioned on a circular arc, the center of which is a rotation center of the second roller.

Example implementations relate to printers for printing a printing liquid on a medium, the printer having a media path for the medium; the media path comprising a print platen for receiving the medium from an input media carrier and for outputting the medium to an output media carrier; the media path also comprising a spread roller disposed between the print platen and the output media roller, and the print platen having an associated arcuate surface for orientating the medium towards the spread roller.

A recording device includes a recording unit, a first transport path, a second transport path, a first discharge roller pair, a second discharge roller pair, a first driving motor configured to drive the first discharge driving roller, a second driving motor configured to drive the second discharge driving roller, and a movement mechanism capable of moving the second discharge roller pair between a sandwiching state where a second discharge driving roller and a second discharge driven roller sandwich a recording medium, and a separated state where the second discharge driving roller and the second discharge driven roller are separated. In a part of a period in which the recording medium is transported, the second discharge roller pair is in the separated state.

A printing device includes: a main body including an accommodating portion configured to accommodate a printing medium; a cover displaceable between an open position where the accommodation portion is opened and a closed position where the accommodation portion is closed; a platen roller attached to the cover and rotatably supported by the cover; a peeling roller attached to the cover and supported so as to be rotatable about an axis parallel to a longitudinal direction of the platen roller; and a switching mechanism attached to the cover and configured to switch the peeling roller between a contact position where the peeling roller comes into contact with the platen roller and a non-contact position where the peeling roller is away from the platen roller in conjunction with displacement of the cover.

An image forming apparatus includes: a feed tray accommodating a roll body, a first sheet-shaped medium being rolled in a roll shape as the roll body; and a feed roller configured to apply a conveying force to the first sheet-shaped medium unrolled from the roll body and to feed the first sheet-shaped medium from the feed tray. The feed tray includes: a first accommodation portion accommodating the roll body; a second accommodation portion accommodating a plurality of second sheet-shaped media stacked in a first direction; and a path member located between the first accommodation portion and the feed roller. The path member includes a partition member partitioning the second sheet-shaped medium accommodated in the second accommodation portion and the first sheet-shaped medium unrolled from the roll body in the first direction.
