An inkjet printer including a feeding device configured to feed a sheet in a feeding direction, a platen configured to support the sheet, a recording device configured to eject ink on the sheet, contacting members configured to contact the sheet, a detector configured to detect an end portion position of the sheet in a width direction, and a controller configured to control the feeding device and the recording device is provided. The contacting members are arranged at intervals in the width direction, and the controller performs a suppression process in which at least one of the feeding device and the recording device is controlled to suppress a contact of the sheet with the recording device when the end portion position detected by the detector is a position between the two adjacent contacting members.

A printing apparatus includes: an accommodating unit accommodating a print medium; a first conveying unit picking up the print medium from the accommodating unit and conveying the print medium along a first conveying direction; a printing unit printing, on the print medium, print data included in a print job; a first detecting unit detecting front and rear ends in the first conveying direction of the print medium conveyed by the first conveying unit; and a controller. The controller executes: a length calculating process of calculating a print medium length as a length in the first conveying direction of the print medium; a setting process of setting a print starting position as a position at which printing is to be started in the printing unit; and a first printing process based on the print starting position set in the setting process.

Provided is a printing apparatus enabling a user to easily perform jam processing. The printing apparatus includes a printing unit, a cassette in which a plurality of sheets to be printed by the printing unit are mounted, and which is capable of being drawn out from the device by a user, a roller pair which is capable of being in an abutting state and a separate state and transports the sheet supplied from the cassette by interposing the sheet, in the abutting state, and a mechanism which changes the roller pair from the abutting state to the separate state as the cassette is drawn out.

A printing apparatus includes a first transport roller pair configured to transport a medium while nipping the medium at a first nip portion, a second transport roller pair disposed downstream of the first transport roller pair and configured to transport the medium while nipping the medium at a second nip portion, and a device disposed between the first transport roller pair and the second transport roller pair in a transport path for the medium, and configured to nip the medium at a third nip portion, wherein a nip force in the third nip portion is weaker than a nip force in the first nip portion, and in a state where the medium is nipped at the first nip portion, a leading end of the medium is aligned with the second nip portion, and then the nipping at the first nip portion is released.

An image forming apparatus including a main body control apparatus, a main body cassette, and an additional cassette different from the main body cassette and coupled to a bus-shaped communication line to which the main body control apparatus is coupled, and the main body control apparatus transmits in image formation an acknowledgement unnecessary command indicating that an acknowledgement is unnecessary to the additional cassette in accordance with the state of the image forming apparatus relating to the additional cassette.

A recording device has: at least one medium storage section that stores a medium on which to perform recording; a recording section positioned vertically above the medium storage section, the recording section performing recording on the medium; and a reversing path by which the medium that passed through a position at which the medium faces the recording section is reversed in a direction including a vertically upward component by being transported in a transport direction including a vertically downward component and being made to pass through a curved reversing path curved so as to be convex downward. When only one medium storage section is provided, an overlap is found between at least part of the one medium storage section and at least part of the curved reversing path when viewed horizontally. When a plurality of medium storage sections are provided, an overlap is found between at least part of the topmost medium storage section in the vertical direction and at least part of the curved reversing path when viewed horizontally.

There is provided a recording apparatus including a recording head that can eject an ink onto a sheet, a transport unit that transports the sheet to the recording head, a housing that contains the recording head and the transport unit, a case that is arranged on an outer surface of the housing so that the bottom portion thereof is positioned higher than a bottom surface of the housing, and that serves as a holder which holds an ink container containing an ink, and a supply unit that supplies the ink from the ink container to the recording head.

A captured image is obtained in which an adapter tray is captured which is fitted in a predetermined first area in a conveyance tray conveyed by a printing apparatus and has a second area fitted with a printing medium on which printing is performed by the printing apparatus. A shape of the second area is specified based on the captured image and information about the predetermined first area. Further, an image based on the specified shape of the second area is output.

A paper feed device includes: a sensor unit that includes a coil substrate and a conductive plate which is opposite the coil substrate, that outputs an output value corresponding to a position of the conductive plate; a first cursor link mechanism which moves the first conductive plate according to the position of the first cursor in the longitudinal direction of the first coil substrate; a storage unit which stores first sheet size data; and a control unit which recognizes the magnitude of the first output value of the sensor unit and which recognizes, based on the recognized magnitude of the first output value and the first sheet size data, the size of the set sheets.

An image forming device with a collapsible paper guide is provided. The image forming device includes a casing, a first tray structure and a paper guide. A medium gateway opening is formed on the casing. The first tray structure is disposed on the casing and adjacent to the medium gateway opening. The paper guide includes a first base disposed on the first tray structure and a first guiding component pivotally connected to the first base. The paper guide is switchable relative to the first tray structure between a used position and a stored position. A first included angle included between the first guiding component and the first base is less than 90 degrees when the paper guide is located at the used position, so that the first guiding component can be interfered and driven to pivotally fold for preventing the paper guide from being broken or damaged.
