A printer includes an ink ejection unit configured to eject ink to a print medium, a transport belt on which the print medium is mounted, a driving section configured to transport the print medium by moving the transport belt, a specifying section configured to specify a print head to be adjusted using a test pattern, markers configured to indicate a position of the print medium when the test pattern is printed on the print medium, and a driving controller configured to control the driving section. The driving controller controls the driving section in accordance with the print head to be adjusted specified by the specifying section so as to adjust a position of the print medium.

Provided is a liquid ejecting device that includes an endless transporting belt that is stretched over a plurality of rollers and transports a medium in a transport direction by rotating while supporting the medium at a support surface that is a surface on an opposite side from a contact surface with the rollers, and a liquid ejecting unit that ejects a liquid onto the medium supported by the support surface. At the contact surface, recesses and protrusions are regularly formed in the circumferential direction of the transporting belt.

A liquid discharging apparatus includes a transporting belt having an endless shape stretched over a plurality of rollers and configured to rotate while supporting a medium, to transport the medium in a transport direction, a liquid discharging unit configured to discharge a liquid onto the medium, and a flat plate portion for supporting the transporting belt from a side of a contact face with the roller. the flat plate portion includes an edge extending from one end of the transporting belt to the other end of the transporting belt along an extending direction intersecting the transport direction, the edge being formed by a transporting belt support face for supporting the transporting belt and a face facing upstream in a rotation direction of the transporting belt when transporting the medium in the transport direction. the edge is disposed to abut against the transporting belt along the extending direction.

An inkjet recording apparatus includes a feeding-side motor, an inkjet recording unit, a winding-side motor, a feeding-side roll-diameter measuring unit, a winding-side roll-diameter measuring unit, and a motor drive controller. Based on a relationship between motor rotating speeds and roll diameters under conveyance of the recording medium at a specified conveyance speed, the motor drive controller determines a first rotating speed corresponding to a feeding-side roll diameter measured by the feeding-side roll-diameter measuring unit and moreover determines a second rotating speed corresponding to a winding-side roll diameter measured by the winding-side roll-diameter measuring unit to drive the feeding-side motor at the first rotating speed and moreover drive the winding-side motor at the second rotating speed.

A method of digital printing and finishing for fabrics is provided. The method includes a step of unwinding a fabric from a first reel. A step of compensating the speeds and of spreading the fabric for its positioning on a conveyor belt provided with supporting elements on which a digital printing step occurs is provided. A step of drying the fabric is provided. A step of winding the fabric onto a second reel is provided. These steps are being executed at corresponding stations arranged in sequence with respect to each other and the fabric passing through them continuously, transversely to the conveyor belt, there being a plurality of bars provided with printing heads which are controlled electronically and synchronized with the movement of the conveyor belt.

In a laser cutting machine for cutting a sheet of material, a laser scanner (12) is traversable in a lateral direction across a cutting surface (14). The laser scanner is controllable to direct a laser beam onto the cutting surface within a cutting area (A) of the cutting surface. A material-advancing mechanism is provided that is controllable to incrementally advance the sheet of material in a longitudinal direction over the cutting surface. In use, the material-advancing mechanism is controllable to position and hold stationary successive laterally- extending portions of the material in the cutting area. The laser scanner is controllable to cut each successive laterally-extending portion of the material held stationary in the cutting area before the material is advanced.

A printing assembly for digital printing on a continuous metal strip, including: a digital printing unit having a printing area and a conveyor belt arranged for advancing the continuous metal strip in a longitudinal direction through the printing area, an inlet guide unit located upstream of the printing unit and configured to guide the continuous metal strip along a path comprising at least one first movable bend which is freely movable in the longitudinal direction, and an outlet guide unit located downstream of the digital printing unit and configured to guide the continuous metal strip along a path comprising at least one second movable bend which is freely movable in the longitudinal direction.

A recording system includes a recording device including a recording unit that performs recording onto a medium, a transporting belt that includes an adhesive layer and transports the medium stuck on the adhesive layer, a drive unit that drives the transporting belt, a control unit that includes a detection unit for detecting a load current flowing in the drive unit and that controls the drive unit. The recording system further includes a peeling device that peels the medium from the transporting belt, and a notification device that provides a notification. The control unit causes the notification device to provide a notification on a time to replace the adhesive layer, based on a detection result of the detection unit.

A recording device including a recording unit that performs recording on a medium by ejecting liquid, a transporting belt that has a base material having a first surface provided with an adhesive layer on which the medium is stuck and a second surface which is a surface opposite to the first surface, and the transporting belt transports the medium, a pressing unit that presses the medium against the transporting belt, a cleaning member that cleans the adhesive layer by contacting the adhesive layer, a storage unit in which water for cleaning the cleaning member is stored, and a cooling unit having a flow path through which water flows and a contacting unit that contacts the second surface. The contacting unit is coupled to the flow path, and contacts the second surface downstream of the pressing unit and upstream of the cleaning member in the revolving direction of the transporting belt.

A printer includes: a transport belt that transports a print medium; a print head that discharges ink to form an image on the print medium placed on the transport belt; a carriage that mounts the print head thereon and scans in an intersecting direction that intersects a transport direction of the print medium; a sensor unit that detects a non-printable area of the print medium capable of coming into contact with the print medium placed on the transport belt and the print head; and a control section that retracts the carriage from a position where the image is formed by the print head when the sensor unit detected the non-printable area during the printing, causes the transport belt to transport the print medium until the non-printable area is positioned downstream of the print head in the transport direction, and continues printing from a printable area adjacent to the non-printable area.
