An apparatus is disclosed comprising a digital print press having a measuring device. The device comprises a light transmitting planar surface and a light source behind the surface to backlight the surface and project light through the surface. An opaque scale may be provided on the surface to provide visible scale markings projected through printed media placed upon the surface.

An image forming system includes a first unit, a second unit, and a third unit. The first unit includes an image forming unit that forms an image on a sheet fed from a feed unit. The second unit is arranged on a downstream side of the first unit and includes a cutting unit that cuts the sheet on which the image is formed by the image forming unit. The third unit is arranged on a downstream side of the second unit and includes a post-processing unit that post-processes the sheet cut by the cutting unit. A sheet cut to have a first size is discharged to a first discharge unit provided in the second unit. A sheet cut to have a second size larger than the first size is discharged to a second discharge unit provided in the third unit.

A recording apparatus is configured to support a roll body on which a medium is wound in a rolled form, and to perform recording on the medium fed out from the roll body, the recording apparatus including a housing, and a roll unit configured to support the roll body, in which the roll unit is configured to transition to a first mode in which the roll unit is stored inside the housing in a state of not supporting the roll body, and to a second mode in which the roll unit is drawn out from inside the housing to outside the housing where the roll unit is configured to support the roll body.

A first conveyance path and a second conveyance path are formed in a housing. The first conveyance path extends in a conveyance direction to reach a first discharge port for discharging a sheet. The second conveyance path extends in the conveyance direction at a position higher than the first conveyance path to reach a second discharge port for discharging a sheet. The second discharge port is located at a position upstream of the first discharge port in the conveyance direction. A first print engine is provided at the first conveyance path. The first print engine is configured to print an image by using a recording agent on a sheet conveyed along the first conveyance path. A second print engine is provided at the second conveyance path. The second print engine is configured to print an image by using a recording agent on a sheet conveyed along the second conveyance path.

A recording device includes a recording unit, a discharge roller unit, a medium receiving tray, a motor serving as a power source of the discharge roller, a power transmission unit 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 unit 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 restriction unit does not restrict the displacement of the medium receiving tray when the power transmission unit is in the power transmission state.

A page of a print job is to be compiled by a printing device upon printing. It is determined that at time of compiling, the page will include print fluid, greater than a threshold, at locations corresponding to the compiling paddles. Drying of the page is responsively increased upon the device printing the page.

A printing medium accommodating apparatus is a printing medium accommodating apparatus in which to stack a printing medium discharged from a discharge port of a printing apparatus. This apparatus includes: a receiving member configured to receive a printing medium discharged from the discharge port; a holding member configured to hold one end of the receiving member; and a turning member configured to turn the holding member, and includes a first attachment unit capable of attaching the turning member to an insertion slot provided in the printing apparatus.

A post-processing device includes a loading unit on which a sheet is loaded, a first transport unit configured to apply, to the sheet loaded on the loading unit, a transport force toward an alignment unit, a second transport unit located between the first transport unit and the alignment unit, and configured to apply, to the sheet, a transport force toward the alignment unit, a control unit configured to control rotation operation of the second transport unit, and a post-processing unit configured to perform post-processing on the sheet transported to the alignment unit, wherein the post-processing unit is configured to execute a plurality of types of the post-processing, and the control unit is configured to control the rotation operation of the second transport unit in accordance with the type of the post-processing.

A post-processing device includes an intermediate tray on which a medium transported in a transport direction is placed, a discharge port through which the medium post-processed on the intermediate tray is discharged, a discharge tray which is disposed in a gravity direction with respect to the discharge port and on which the medium discharged from the discharge port is placed, and an elevating mechanism which elevates the discharge tray, in which the elevating mechanism can move the discharge tray to a first normal position and a first standby position positioned in a direction opposite to the gravity direction with respect to the first normal position, and moves the discharge tray to the first normal position or the first standby position according to an amount of ink before the medium comes in contact with the discharge tray or the medium previously placed on the discharge tray.

A medium placement device configured to have a medium discharged from a discharge unit of a processing device placed therein, and includes: a placement unit including a plurality of placement surfaces, with different angles with respect to a horizontal direction, that are disposed along a discharge direction of the medium, the placement unit being configured to have the medium discharged from the discharge unit placed thereon; and a plurality of restricting members disposed facing the placement unit along the discharge direction, the plurality of restricting members being configured to come into contact with the medium from above. In an initial state in which the medium is not placed, a distance in a gravitational direction between a first end of each of the plurality of restricting members on a placement unit side and one of the plurality of placement surfaces that faces the first end in the gravitational direction is constant.
