ADAPTIVE INTERPAGE DELAYS

An example method includes maintaining, by a processing resource associated with a finisher communicatively coupled to a printer, an interpage delay table, the interpage delay table storing an interpage delay value for each of a plurality of page attribute combinations. The method further includes processing, by the finisher, a job based at least in part on a particular interpage delay value stored in the interpage delay table for an identified page attribute combination.

MEDIUM PROCESSING APPARATUS AND RECORDING SYSTEM

A first unit includes a receiving portion that receives a medium to be processed, a drying unit that processes the medium received from the receiving portion, and an end stitching unit that processes the medium received from the receiving portion or the medium processed by the drying unit. The processing performed by the drying unit is processing of drying the medium, the drying unit is located vertically below the end stitching unit, and the drying unit and the end stitching unit have a portion overlapping when viewed in a vertical direction.

MEDIUM DRYING DEVICE, MEDIUM PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND RECORDING SYSTEM

A medium drying device includes a transport roller pair as a transport unit that transports a medium and a heat roller pair as one heating unit that heats the medium transported by the transport roller pair and is provided in a transport direction of the medium, in which the medium is configured to be transported to a heating area by the heat roller pair a plurality of times.

AUTOMATIC DOCUMENT FEEDER WITH DISENGAGEABLE ROLLERS

An automatic document feeder includes a media path to route media through the automatic document feeder, an opposing roller pair to route media along the media path, and a media tray to receive the media from the media path, the media tray to be opened, and the opposing roller pair to be disengaged when the media tray is opened.

Printing apparatus
11780250 · 2023-10-10 · ·

A printing apparatus includes a platen roller that transports a medium, a print head that is disposed to face the platen roller and prints on the medium, a cutter that cuts off, from the medium, a printed portion on which printing has been performed by the print head, a drive that drives the platen roller, and a processor that controls the drive. After the printed portion is cut off by the cutter, the processor controls the drive such that the platen roller transports the medium in an ejection direction and holds the medium still. After an instruction to start next printing by the print head is received, the processor controls the drive such that the platen roller transports the medium in a reverse direction opposite to the ejection direction.

RECORDING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF READING RECORDED IMAGE IN RECORDING APPARATUS
20230311542 · 2023-10-05 ·

A recording apparatus includes: a recording path passing a recorder performing recording by ejecting liquid onto a medium; a feeding path through which the medium is fed to the recording path; a discharge path through which the medium after recording performed thereon by the recorder is discharged; a reading path extending through a reader reading an image, provided independently of the recording path, the feeding path, and the discharge path and to which the medium with a recorded image being used to check a state of liquid ejection of the recorder recorded thereon is fed; and a switching portion switching between a first state in which a feeding direction of the medium after recording performed thereon by the recorder is set to a direction toward the reading path and a second state in which the feeding direction is set to a direction other than the direction toward the reading path.

MEDIUM DRYING DEVICE, MEDIUM PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND RECORDING SYSTEM

A medium drying device includes a transport roller pair as a transport unit that transports a medium and a heat roller pair as one heating unit that heats the medium transported by the transport roller pair and is provided in a transport direction of the medium, in which the medium is configured to be transported to a heating area by the heat roller pair a plurality of times.

LIQUID EJECTING APPARATUS AND RECORDING SYSTEM
20230256746 · 2023-08-17 ·

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.

Sensor for feeding of media sheets

According to examples, an apparatus may include a media feed mechanism, printing components, an output tray, a sensor, a processor, and a memory on which is stored machine-readable instructions. The instructions may cause the processor to receive a signal from the sensor corresponding to a detection by the sensor of a movement that triggers output of the signal from the sensor. The instructions may also, based on receipt of the signal, cause the media feed mechanism to feed a sheet of media out of the apparatus into the output tray.

Preventing damage to printed substrates conveyed in a printing system

A system (10) includes an intermediate transfer member (ITM) (44) and a substrate conveyor (80). The ITM (44) is configured to receive droplets of one or more printing fluids so as to form an image thereon, and to transfer the image to a target substrate (50). The substrate conveyor (80) is configured to grip and move the target substrate (50) to and from the ITM (44) for transferal of the image, the substrate conveyor (80) includes one or more rotatable elements (110, 200), which are configured to provide mechanical support to the target substrate (50), such that, when the target substrate (50) moves over the one or more rotatable elements (110, 200), at least one of the rotatable elements (110, 200) is configured to rotate in response to a physical contact with the target substrate (50).
