The printing medium M after color printing is performed on the front surface M1 (recording surface) by the color printing unit 32 can be conveyed while the front surface M1 and the back surface M2 of the printing medium M are inverted twice by the only rollers 471 to 478 (rotary bodies) in contact with the back surface M2 (non-recording surface) of the printing medium M (inverting conveying part 47). In this way, without providing air turn bars, a time to convey the printing medium M from the color printing unit 32 to the white printing unit 33 can be secured while the printing medium M is firmly supported by the rollers 471 to 478 in contact with the back surface M2 of the printing medium M.

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.

A printing apparatus includes a feed shaft configured to feed a medium in a roll form by supporting and rotating the medium, a conveyance unit including a driving roller, a driven roller and an endless conveyance belt and configured to convey, in a conveyance direction, the medium supported by the conveyance belt by rotating the driving roller forward, a printing head configured to perform printing on the medium supported by the conveyance belt, and an ear portion winding shaft configured to wind up ear portions of the medium separated from the medium supported by the feed shaft.

A transport unit includes a glue belt, a cleaning unit, and a support unit. The glue belt can transport a medium. The cleaning unit can clean the glue belt with a cleaning liquid. The support unit includes a support surface capable of supporting a sponge that comes into contact with the glue belt cleaned by the cleaning unit. At least one opening is provided in the support surface.

A printing apparatus, comprises a first circuit board configured to control a first motor and a printing unit that performs printing to a print medium, a second circuit board configured to control a second motor, a sensor configured to output a sensor signal used to control the first motor and the second motor, and a signal line configured to input the sensor signal from the sensor to the first circuit board and the second circuit board.

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 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.

A dryer includes a plurality of transport rollers, turn bars, and a heater. Some of the transport rollers support the continuous base material transported in the +Y direction in a first position in the Z direction. Some of the transport rollers support the continuous base material transported in the −Y direction in a second position in the Z direction. The turn bars support the continuous base material in a third position in the Z direction while bending the continuous base material so that the continuous base material is transported in the −X direction. The heater is capable of heating part of the continuous base material in a position on the transport path TR between the transport rollers and the turn bars. The transport rollers and the turn bars are located on the second surface side of the continuous base material.

A liquid ejecting device includes a transporting belt that has a support surface capable of supporting a medium and that can transport the medium in a first direction, an ejecting unit that can eject a liquid onto a first surface of the medium transported by the transporting belt, a regulating unit that comes into contact with the first surface of the medium ejected with the liquid by the ejecting unit and that regulates upward movement of the medium, and a cleaning unit that cleans the regulating unit.

A transport unit includes a glue belt, a pressurizing roller, a roller driving unit, and a control unit. The glue belt includes an adhesive layer. The pressurizing roller presses a medium against the adhesive layer while reciprocating in a Y direction. The roller driving unit generates a driving force for the pressurizing roller to reciprocate. The control unit controls the roller driving unit. The pressurizing roller is separated from the adhesive layer along with reciprocation. The control unit is capable of detecting a load of the roller driving unit, and determines whether the magnitude of the adhesive force of the adhesive layer is less than a target value, based on the load.
