Examples of the present disclosure relate to a device for guiding a sheet, the device comprising a nip rollers arrangement comprising two nipping surfaces between a common drive roller and two freewheeling rollers aligned along a common direction and a freewheeling shaping element located between the two nipping surfaces along the common direction whereby the shaping element defines a shaping surface between the two nipping surfaces. The shaping element is displaceable between a first and a second position along a direction perpendicular to the common direction. The shaping surface is on a first side of the nipping surfaces when the shaping element is in the first position and the shaping surface is on a second opposite side of the nipping surfaces when the shaping element is in the second position.

A system and method for stabilizing a substrate during printing of images and subsequent cutting of the printing images with the system. The system comprises a printer assembly and a cutting assembly for printing images on a print media and then cutting the images from the print media. The printer assembly and cutting assembly are positioned in the system such that the media is printed and cut before advancing further through the system. The system has a web feeding system having a plurality of pairs of levers for providing different amounts of pinch force to the web during the printing and cutting processes so as to retain the media in a substantially flat and stationary position for printing as well as cutting.

A printing apparatus includes a first feeding part configured to feed print media from a first support part supporting the print media, a second feeding part configured to feed print media from a second support part supporting the print media, and a print head configured to print on the print media fed by the first feeding part or the second feeding part. Further, the printing apparatus includes a first conveying path where the print media fed by the first feeding part are conveyed to the print head, and a second conveying path where the print media fed by the second feeding part are conveyed to the print head. At least a part of the second feeding part protrudes in a predetermined spatial area within the first conveying path during a feed operation of feeding print media from the second support part.

Provided is a printing apparatus including a printing head, transport rollers (sheet transport rollers) configured to sandwich and transport a medium (label sheet), a medium bending unit (bending member) configured to bend the label sheet to peel off a label from a backing sheet when the label sheet has a configuration in which the label is attached to the backing sheet, and a medium guide (sheet guide) configured to contact with one edge in a width direction of the label sheet to be bent by the bending member. The sheet transport rollers include a biasing mechanism configured to bias the label sheet in a direction intersecting a transport direction of the label sheet and also toward the sheet guide, during transport of the label sheet.

A media processing device includes: a platen roller configured to move a media unit along a media processing path to traverse a printhead adjacent to the platen roller; an upstream drive assembly including (i) an upstream stationary roller disposed along the media processing path on a first side of the platen roller; and (ii) an upstream movable roller adjacent to the upstream stationary roller; a downstream drive assembly including (i) a downstream stationary roller disposed along the media processing path on a second side of the platen roller; and (ii) a downstream movable roller adjacent to the downstream stationary roller; a controller configured to control a motor to move, according to a predefined sequence, the upstream movable roller and the movable roller between respective engaged and disengaged positions.

A curl straightening device includes an endless belt, a curl straightening roller, a nip width adjusting mechanism, and a guide member. The curl straightening roller makes pressure contact with an outer peripheral surface of the endless belt, forming a nip portion, and straightens curl of the sheet which passes through the nip portion. The nip width adjusting mechanism moves the curl straightening roller in a direction away from or close to the endless belt so as to change a nip width. The mechanism includes a supporting holder of the curl straightening roller, and a rotationally moving portion that rotationally moves the roller supporting holder for moving the curl straightening roller. The guide member includes a pair of hanging members that are hung from both ends of the curl straightening roller so as to keep the guide member in constant position and posture relative to the curl straightening roller.

A recording device comprising a driving roller configured to be driven by receiving a drive force from a drive source and transport a medium in a transport direction, a frame located below the driving roller and including an attachment surface extending in a device height direction intersecting the transport direction, and a driving roller support member configured to support the driving roller. The driving roller support member is removably attached to the attachment surface.

A coating device includes a coating member, a nip forming member, a pair of conveying members, and circuitry. The nip forming member forms a coating nip together with the coating member. The pair of conveying members is opposed each other to nip and convey a recording medium to the coating nip. The circuitry is configured to cause the pair of conveying members to release nipping of the recording medium at timing when a leading end of the recording medium reaches the coating nip.

A printing apparatus includes a first feeding part configured to feed print media from a first support part supporting the print media, a second feeding part configured to feed print media from a second support part supporting the print media, and a print head configured to print on the print media fed by the first feeding part or the second feeding part. Further, the printing apparatus includes a first conveying path where the print media fed by the first feeding part are conveyed to the print head, and a second conveying path where the print media fed by the second feeding part are conveyed to the print head. At least a part of the second feeding part protrudes in a predetermined spatial area within the first conveying path during a feed operation of feeding print media from the second support part.

A print media feeding apparatus includes a stacking part configured to stack print media; a feeding roller which is movable to an abutting position at which the feeding roller contacts the print media stacked on the stacking part and to a separated position separated from the print media stacked on the stacking part and configured to feed a print medium by rotating at the abutting position; a separation member configured to separate the print media; and a return unit configured to perform a return operation of returning the print medium other than a top print medium which the feeding roller abuts. The feeding roller moves to the separated position after feeding the print medium from the stacking part. The return unit performs the return operation upon the feeding roller moving to the separated position. After the return operation, the feeding roller stops at the abutting position.
