A printing device includes: a feeding tray on which a sheet can be mounted; a first conveying passage; an image forming unit disposed along the first conveying passage and configured to record an image on the sheet; a cutting unit disposed along the first conveying passage downstream of the image recording unit and configured to cut the sheet; a second conveying passage connected to the first conveying passage; and a controller configured to perform: conveying the sheet mounted on the feeding tray to the image recording unit; recording an image on the sheet by the image recording unit; cutting the recorded sheet at a cutting position on the sheet to divide the sheet into a first sheet on which the image has been recorded and a second sheet on which the image has not been recorded; discharging the first sheet; and conveying the second sheet to the second conveying passage.

A conveying device includes a plurality of conveyance passages, a plurality of conveyors, a conveyance passage guide, a conveyance sensor, a conveyance availability detector, and circuitry. The conveyance passages are disposed in parallel to each other. Each conveyors is disposed in corresponding one of the conveyance passages. The circuitry is configured to: set a set retention time for which a conveyance object is to be retained in available one of the conveyance passages; control one of the conveyors to convey and stop conveying the conveyance object guided by the conveyance passage guide; measure a retention time of the conveyance object conveyed in the available one of the conveyance passages; and cause the one of the conveyors to eject the conveyance object from the available one of the conveyance passages in a case in which the retention time of the conveyance object is longer than the set retention time.

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 printing apparatus includes a first discharge path that discharges a sheet and a second discharge path different from the first discharge path. An angle difference between a direction in which the sheet is discharged in the second discharge path and a conveyance direction of a conveyance roller is smaller than an angle difference between a direction in which the sheet is discharged in the first discharge path and the conveyance direction of the conveyance roller. The printing apparatus includes a control unit that discharges the sheet on which the image is printed using the second discharge path even in a case where an instruction to print an image indicates discharging the sheet to the first discharge path, if the sheet conveyed by the conveyance roller is a sheet having a thickness equal to or greater than a predetermined value.

An ink jet recording apparatus includes a controller that causes an image recording device, upon detecting an error with a recording sheet according to information acquired by an error information acquisition device, to suspend image recording on the recording sheet with which the error has been detected, and on another recording sheet being transported on an upstream side in a transport direction, of the recording sheet with which the error has been detected, and to perform a predetermined protective ejection including protecting an ink jet head of the image recording device, by ejecting a limited minute amount of ink from the ink jet head, at least onto a recording sheet transported subsequent to the recording sheet the image recording on which has been suspended.

A label printer includes a print head, a transporting roller, a peeling roller, and a control unit, wherein the control unit controls a current value to be supplied to a peeling motor configured to rotate the peeling roller such that a transport force of the peeling roller for transporting the backing sheet is equal to or greater than a minimum force required for peeling the label and is greater than a maximum friction force between the peeling roller and the backing sheet, and the maximum friction force and a maximum friction force between the transporting roller and the label sheet are set such that the maximum friction force between the peeling roller and the backing sheet is equal to or smaller than a transport force of the peeling roller that sets a transport error of the label sheet by the transporting roller to be within an acceptable value.

There is provided a liquid discharge apparatus including: a head, a conveyer having a roller arranged at the downstream of the head according to a conveyance direction, and a controller. The controller is configured to carry out: a recording process, a first determining process to determine whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the recording process, a conveying process to convey a medium in if the first determining process determines that the predetermined time has elapsed, and a setting process to set a predetermined time based on a discharge amount of a liquid from a plurality of nozzles onto a recording area and a conveyance time for the conveyer to convey the medium from the recording area to the roller, before the first determining process.

A printer includes a first accommodating portion, a supply roller, a recording device, a cutter configured to cut a recording medium into a first recording medium and a second recording medium, a second accommodating portion, a third accommodating portion that accommodates an unrecorded second recording medium that is the second recording medium on which an image has not been recorded by the recording device, and a switcher. The third accommodating portion is movable between a first position at which the third accommodating portion receives the unrecorded second recording medium cut by the cutter and a second position at which the unrecorded second recording medium accommodated in the third accommodating portion is in contact with the supply roller. The supply roller is configured to supply the unrecorded second recording medium accommodated in the third accommodating portion that is positioned at the second position.

A recording device includes a recoding unit, a discharge rollerunit, a medium receiving tray, a motor serving as a power source of the discharge roller, a power transmission unitunit that is configured to switch between a power transmission state in which power of the motor is transmitted from the motor to the medium receiving tray, and a power non-transmission state in which the power of the motor is not transmitted from the motor to the medium receiving tray, and a restriction unitunit that is configured to switch between a restriction state in which the restriction unit restricts displacement of the medium receiving tray when the power transmission unit is in the power non-transmission state, and a non-restriction state in which the the restriction unit does not restrict the displacement of the medium receiving tray when the power transmission unit is in the power transmission state.

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.
