A method for adjusting a printing apparatus, which the printing apparatus includes: a platen for supporting the medium, an imaging unit, a winding shaft for winding the medium, a shaft adjusting mechanism configured to adjust the position of the winding shaft, and a notifying unit configured to perform notification, comprising: a jig installing step for attaching one end of a strip-shaped jig, on which graduations are formed, to the winding shaft, and locking the jig to the platen, along a transporting path at both ends in a width direction of the medium, an imaging step for imaging the graduations by the imaging unit at two locations different from each other, in a direction orthogonal to a transport direction of the medium on the platen, a notifying step for notifying a result based on an image imaged by the imaging unit, and an adjusting step for adjusting the shaft adjusting mechanism.

A printing system having: a print head arranged with a predetermined nip for printing to a recording medium; a sensor positioned upstream of the print head, and configured to detect possible joints of the recording medium; a spacer arranged in a region of the print head, the spacer being configured to be displaceable to deflect the recording medium and increasing a distance between the print head and recording medium; an actuator to displace the spacer element; and a controller configured to activate the actuator to displace the spacer upon detection of a joint by the sensor.

A medium transport method, which is performed by a medium transport device having a transport unit which includes rollers that can pinch a medium and which transports the medium, includes inserting the medium to a predetermined position, pressing a side end portion of the medium against a side surface guide, and pinching the medium with the rollers, and transports the medium.

An information process device according to an embodiment includes a thermal head that prints on paper at positions along a width direction based on a reference position. The sensor is at a sensor position in the width direction and detects marks on paper being conveyed by a conveyance unit. The controller controls the conveyance unit to convey a confirmation sheet and then detects a position of a mark on the confirmation sheet with the sensor. The detected position corresponds to the sensor position. The controller next controls the conveyance unit and the thermal head to print a line on a sheet corresponding to the sensor position. The controller is configured to receive a corrected sensor position based on a measured distance of the printed line to an edge of the sheet and update the print reference position accordingly.

In a printer for printing on a label of a continuous paper in a middle of feeding the continuous paper unwound from a paper sheet supply unit, while a depressed portion is disposed below a damper portion, a width adjustment guiding portion, which contacts an outer edge in a width direction of the continuous paper to guide a feed of the continuous paper, is disposed on a lower portion of the damper portion such that the lower end portion of the width adjustment guiding portion is positioned within the depressed portion.

The invention relates to a printing assembly which has print heads, each of which specifies application positions for printing fluid. A transport path is provided for the printing substrate through the printing assembly and is defined by at least two guide elements of the printing assembly. A printing section of the transport path begins at a first application position and ends at a last application position. At least one of the guide elements is in contact with a total of at least two lateral support elements and with at least one inner support element at three points that are spaced from one another in a transverse direction, the position of that guide element being thereby defined. The inner support element is arranged such that it is or can be rigidly connected to at least one of the lateral support elements. The lateral support elements can be embodied as part of a support frame, which support frame has at least one cross-member that is different from the guide elements, that at least one cross-member extending in the transverse direction and ensuring a constant relative positioning of the lateral support elements.

A liquid ejection apparatus is provided that includes a plurality of liquid ejection head units that are configured to eject liquid onto a conveyed object being conveyed; a detection unit that is provided with respect to each liquid ejection head unit of the plurality of liquid ejection head units and is configured to output a detection result indicating at least one of a position, a moving speed, and an amount of movement of the conveyed object with respect to a conveying direction of the conveyed object; and a control unit configured to control the each liquid ejection head unit of the plurality of liquid ejection head units to eject liquid at a timing based on a plurality of the detection results of a plurality of the detection units.

The present disclosure relates to a printer for pulling out a paper wound in the form of a wound roll, and more particularly, to a printer which includes a cartridge configured to accommodate the paper, a housing in which the cartridge is mounted, and a printing part configured to pull out the paper. The cartridge or the housing has a decurling part formed thereon, and the decurling part comes into surface-contact with the paper on the upper side of the paper in the process of pulling out the paper.

A tag printer apparatus for printing, severing and feeding non-curled labels to sewing machines. The tag printer apparatus includes a base; a control assembly including a central processing unit mounted to the base and adapted to be energized by a power source, and also including a monitor in communication with the central processing unit; a dispensing assembly mounted upon the base for dispensing print material; a support assembly mounted upon the base and including a support member; a printer assembly slidably mounted upon the support member and in operable communication with the central processing unit; and a tag feeder assembly connected to the support member and in communication with the central processing unit.

Meandering of a medium at a time of transporting is reduced. A recording apparatus which transports medium, and performs recording on the medium, the apparatus includes a recording unit; a medium clamping unit which is provided on a side further upstream than the recording unit in a transport direction, and clamps the medium therebetween; and a medium support unit which is provided on the side further upstream than the medium clamping unit in the transport direction, and supports the medium, in which the medium is slackened between the medium clamping unit and the medium support unit.
