Provided is a technique that enables proper sorting of discharged print media by suppressing curling of each of the print media sufficiently. A determining unit determines a curling suppressing operation to be executed such that in a case where sorting operation is executed, the suppressing operation having a higher effect of suppressing curling is executed than in a case where the sorting operation is executed. Then, a print control unit controls a print head to perform printing on print media while executing the suppressing operation determined by the determining unit.

A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a transport unit that transports a medium along a transport path, a liquid ejecting head that performs recording on the transported medium by ejecting liquid from a nozzle formed at a nozzle surface, a mounting portion on which a liquid storage portion for storing the liquid supplied to the liquid ejecting head is mounted, and a first discharge port that delivers the medium on which the recording is performed toward a media processing apparatus that performs processing on the medium, in which the mounting portion is disposed at a position higher than the nozzle surface, and a first transport path which is a portion of the transport path from a position corresponding to the liquid ejecting head to the first discharge port passes above the mounting portion.

A post-processing device includes a transport path along which a medium printed with liquid ejected by a liquid ejecting portion is transported, an intermediate tray on which the medium is stacked, a first transporting member starting a first transporting operation of transporting the medium upstream in a transport direction after a rear end of the medium passes through the transport path, a rear-end alignment portion that comes into contact with the rear end of the medium transported by the first transporting member and that aligns the medium, a control portion controlling an operation of the first transporting member, and a detection portion detecting a transporting state of the medium in the intermediate tray, in which when the control portion determines, from an output of the detection portion, that the medium reaches the rear-end alignment portion, the control portion regulates the first transporting operation of the first transporting member.

Provided is a technique that enables proper sorting of discharged print media by suppressing curling of each of the print media sufficiently. A determining unit determines a curling suppressing operation to be executed such that in a case where sorting operation is executed, the suppressing operation having a higher effect of suppressing curling is executed than in a case where the sorting operation is executed. Then, a print control unit controls a print head to perform printing on print media while executing the suppressing operation determined by the determining unit.

A recording apparatus includes a medium mounting section on which a medium is to be mounted, a reverse-feeding path for reversing the medium that has been fed from the medium mounting section, a recording unit configured to perform recording onto the medium that has been reversed by the reverse-feeding path, and a reverse-discharging path for reversing the medium on which recording has been performed by the recording unit and for discharge the medium to a discharge section configured to discharge the medium, in which when viewed in a medium width direction intersecting a medium transport direction, a path section for reversing the medium in the reverse-feeding path and a path section for reversing the medium in the reverse-discharging path have portions overlapping each other in the vertical direction.

An image forming apparatus is provided. The image forming apparatus includes a printing engine, a paddle device, a stapler device, and a processor. The printing engine is to form an image on a printing paper. The paddle device is to move the printing paper ejected from the printing engine in a moving direction to align a first end of the printing paper. The stapler device is to staple the align printing paper. The processor is to control the paddle device and the stapler device to move a second end of the aligned printing paper in an opposite direction to the moving direction when the first end of the printing paper is aligned.

A printer including a transport path; a transport mechanism that is disposed in the transport path and transports the medium in a transporting direction caused when printing is executed by a recording section; a discharge-side transport path that forms a part of a downstream side in the transporting direction from the recording section in the transport path and is movable to a position close to the transport mechanism and a position separated from the transport mechanism; and a control section that controls the recording section and the transport mechanism. In a state where a transport failure of the medium occurs in the transport path, in a case where a predetermined condition is satisfied, the control section executes an additional transport process of discharging the medium to the discharge-side transport path by transporting the medium in the transporting direction by a predetermined amount by the transport mechanism.

A paper processing device includes a casing and a paper pressing mechanism. The casing includes a paper placement platform. The paper placement platform is extended externally from the casing so as to support the plural papers. The paper pressing mechanism includes a pressing bar, a driving mechanism and a linking mechanism. The pressing bar includes a pressing structure. The linking mechanism is connected between the driving mechanism and the pressing bar. While the linking mechanism is driven by the driving mechanism, the pressing bar is moved with the linking mechanism and rotated relative to the paper placement platform, so that the pressing structure is moved from an initial position to a target position. When the pressing structure is moved to the target position and contacted with the plural papers, a guiding channel is defined between the pressing structure and the paper placement platform.

According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a printing apparatus includes a conveyance unit configured to convey a sheet in a conveyance direction, a print head configured to perform printing on the sheet conveyed in the conveyance direction by the conveyance unit, a discharge port from which the sheet printed by the print head is discharged, a stacking portion located below the discharge port and configured to stack the sheet discharged from the discharge port in a state where a leading end of the sheet is directed to an upstream side in the conveyance direction, and a holding unit disposed in a sheet discharge path below the discharge port and configured to move between a holding position in which the holding unit holds the sheet and a releasing position in which the holding unit releases the sheet.

A processing device includes a medium supporting portion having a support surface for supporting at least a front end portion of a transported medium, an aligning portion for aligning the medium supported by the medium supporting portion, a stacking portion provided below the medium supporting portion in a vertical direction, having a stacking surface on which the medium dropped from the medium supporting portion is stacked, and configured to move up and down, and a pressing portion having a pressing surface facing the support surface, the pressing surface being configured to move between a first position and a second position closer to the support surface than the first position, in which the pressing portion is disposed at the first position when the medium is transported to the medium supporting portion, and is disposed at the second position after the aligning portion aligns the medium on the medium supporting portion.
