A printing apparatus includes: a driving roller configured to drive a recording medium by rotation thereof while being in contact with the recording medium; a discharging head configured to discharge liquid onto a recording medium; a driven rotational member configured to be driven to rotate as a result of transport of the recording medium while being in contact with the recording medium; a rotation position detection unit configured to detect a rotation position of the driven rotational member; and a control unit configured to rotate the driving roller to transport the recording medium and adjust a timing of discharging the liquid from the discharging head in accordance with a detection result of the rotation position detection unit. The control unit adjusts a rotational speed of the driving roller in accordance with a linear pressure applied to the recording medium on the driving roller.

A printing apparatus includes: a transport roller configured to transport a medium through a transport path; a printing unit configured to perform printing on the medium transported by the transport roller through the transport path; an intermediate roller configured to transport again, to the transport path, the medium transported through an inversion path in a reverse direction to a transport direction of the medium to invert a front surface and a back surface of the medium, the inversion path including a branching point where the inversion path branches from the transport path at an upstream side of the transport roller in the transport direction, the inversion path merging with the transport path again at an upstream side of the branching point in the transport direction; a device disposed in the transport path and between the transport roller and the intermediate roller; a first driving device configured to drive the transport roller; and a second driving device configured to drive the intermediate roller, in which the intermediate roller includes an electromagnetic clutch mechanism.

Provided is a control unit of a conveying apparatus, the conveying apparatus including: a conveying unit that conveys recording paper along a conveying path; and an imaging unit that images the recording paper and an object not conveyed by the conveying unit, wherein the control unit acquires actual conveyance information of the recording paper from image information of the recording paper imaged by the imaging unit and image information of the object imaged by the imaging unit.

Certain examples described herein relate to a buffer unit for a printing system. In certain cases, a measurement device is used to obtain measurement data representing an optical property of a printed image on a substrate. A buffer unit receives the substrate downstream of the measurement device and places the substrate in a queue. In certain cases, a controller determines, based on the measurement data, whether the printed image comprises a defect. Responsive to determining that the printed image does not comprise a defect, the controller causes the substrate to be moved from the buffer unit to an output stack. Responsive to determining that the printed image comprises a defect, the controller causes the substrate to not be moved to the output stack.

A deposition device is described. The deposition device has a substrate support and a laser imaging system disposed to image a portion of a substrate positioned on the substrate support. The laser imaging system comprises a laser source and an imaging unit, and is coupled to a deposition assembly disposed across the substrate support.

A printing apparatus includes a transport unit, a printing head, and a control unit that prints, on a printing medium, a test pattern for inspecting a state of ink discharge by a nozzles. The test pattern includes a first pattern element group in which a plurality of pattern elements to be printed by the nozzles are arranged in the transport direction, and a second pattern element group in which a plurality of pattern elements to be printed by the nozzles are arranged in the transport direction. After the control unit causes the transport unit to transport, by a distance equal to or greater than a nozzle pitch, the printing medium printed with the first pattern element group by causing the nozzles to discharge the ink, the control unit prints the second pattern element group on the printing medium by causing the nozzles used to print the first pattern element group to discharge the ink.
