A printing apparatus includes a conveyance unit, a printing unit, a platen section facing the printing unit, a regulation unit arranged on a downstream side of the printing unit in the conveyance direction and configured to regulate a height position of the print medium, and a guide section arranged on a downstream side of the platen section. The guide section includes a first declined section declined, a second declined section arranged on the downstream side of the first declined section in the conveyance direction, and an inclined section inclined, from the second declined section to the downstream side in the conveyance direction. A declination of the second declined section is more moderate than the first declined section, and the regulation unit faces the guide section.

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming portion, a pair of conveyance rollers, a conveyance member, and a cleaning unit. The image forming portion forms an image on a sheet. The pair of conveyance rollers conveys the sheet at a predetermined timing to an image formation position at which the image is formed by the image forming portion. The conveyance member conveys the sheet at the image formation position. The cleaning unit includes a cleaning member that is configured to come in contact with a target roller and the conveyance member, the target roller being one of the pair of conveyance rollers that comes in contact with the sheet.

A power transmission apparatus includes a drive source, a power transmission switching section configured to switch between a transmission state in which power of the drive source is transmitted to a driven section and a non-transmission state in which power of the drive source is not transmitted to the driven section, a load switching section configured to switch between a first load state, which is a load while the driven section is driven, and a second load state, which is a load smaller than the load of the first load state, and a control section, wherein the control section switches the power transmission switching section from the non-transmission state to the transmission state while the load is in the second load state, and then uses the load switching section to switch the load from the second load state to the first load state.

A printing unit includes a support frame that is supported to face a transfer passage for a sheet; an inkjet head that is fixed to the support frame and performs printing on a printing surface of the sheet; drive bodies that are rotatably supported on the support frame on both sides of the inkjet head in a width direction of the sheet and come into contact with the printing surface of the sheet; and a drive device that drives and rotates the drive bodies.

A recording device includes a transport unit, a medium supporting member, and a recording head. The transport unit includes transport roller pairs and discharge roller pairs. The discharge roller pair includes a discharge driving roller and discharge driven rollers provided downstream of the medium supporting member in a transport direction. The transport unit includes a first roller and a second roller, which are an example of a guide roller provided downstream of the medium supporting member in the transport direction and on the same upper side as the discharge driven roller with respect to a transport path of a medium. The first roller and the second roller are provided on either side of the discharge roller pair in the transport direction, and a lower end of at least one of the first roller and the second roller is positioned lower than an upper end of the discharge driving roller.

There is provided an image recording apparatus, including: a feed roller; a conveyer; a recording head; a carriage; a motor; a transmission mechanism; a lock detector; and a controller. The controller is configured to: record image on recording medium by alternately repeating a line feed process and a recording process; start feeding of second recording medium, before the recoding of the image to first recoding medium is completed, by rotating the motor to drive the feed roller; continue, in a case that the motor lock state is detected before the recording of the image to first recording medium is completed, a control for rotating the motor, until a process for recoding the image to first recording medium being executed when the motor lock state is detected, is completed; and stop a driving of the motor after the process for recoding the image to first recording medium is completed.
