A conveying system employs independently controlled flights. The flights are controlled separately from a conveying surface using a linear transport system. The linear transport system allow the position of the flights to be controlled based on a parameter, such as the length of a conveyed object. The flights are pivotally mounted to a mover of the linear transport system and can pivot relative to the conveying surface to allow the flights to fit in a space between an end of carryway and a receptacle.

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 liquid ejecting device includes a transporting belt configured to transport a medium, a head configured to eject a liquid onto the medium, a first gripping portion configured to grip the first end portion of the transporting belt, and move in the transport direction, and a second gripping portion configured to grip the second end portion of the transporting belt, and move in the transport direction. When the head is positioned outside the transporting belt with respect to the second end portion, the first gripping portion performs a first operation of gripping the transporting belt and moving to a predetermined position, and releasing the gripped transporting belt. When the head is positioned outside the transporting belt with respect to the first end portion, the second gripping portion performs a second operation of gripping the transporting belt and moving to a predetermined position, and releasing the gripped transporting belt.

A recoding medium conveying device includes a conveyance belt, a first sensor, a second sensor, and circuitry. The conveyance belt has an endless loop shape and a length capable of conveying a plurality of recording media in one rotation. The first sensor is disposed upstream from the conveyance belt in a conveyance direction of a recording medium and is configured to detect the recording medium. The second sensor is configured to detect a home position of the conveyance belt. The circuitry is configured to adjust a rotation speed of the conveyance belt, while the conveyance belt makes one rotation, to eliminate an amount of deviation between a first detection timing of the recording medium detected by the first sensor and a second detection timing of the home position of the conveyance belt detected by the second sensor.

A transport device includes a transport belt having a support surface configured to support a medium, a cleaning roller including an absorbent member configured to absorb cleaning liquid, and configured to clean the support surface as the absorbent member comes into contact with the support surface, a supply unit configured to supply the cleaning liquid to the cleaning roller, and a squeeze member to squeeze the absorbent member as the cleaning roller rotates in a state in which the squeeze member is in contact with the absorbent member.
