A web processing apparatus comprising a web transport station and a web processing station. The web transport station comprises a web tension control assembly, which comprises a first tensioning device and a second tensioning device. Said first tensioning device is movably arranged for controlling tension of a first web. Said second tensioning device is movably arranged for controlling tension of a second web independently of the tension of the first web. Said first tensioning device comprises a first interior space and the first tensioning device is arranged with respect to the second tensioning device such that the first interior space at least partly accommodates the second tensioning device. The web processing apparatus allows for accurately controlling tension of the first and second webs simultaneously and independently of one another in a tandem mode, while maintaining the possibility for controlling tension of a single web in a single mode.

A liquid ejecting apparatus includes an ejecting unit that is capable of ejecting a liquid; and a tension adjusting unit that is rotatable about a rotational shaft and that is capable of applying a tension to a medium by coming into contact with the medium onto which the liquid is ejected. The tension adjusting unit is capable of applying the tension to the medium at a balancing position at which the tension adjusting unit is balanced by a weight of the tension adjusting unit.

A winding device includes: a separation unit that separates sheets layered and simultaneously transported; a winding unit that winds one of the sheets separated by the separation unit; and a pressure contact unit that presses the one of the sheets wound by the winding unit from outside of the wound sheet toward the winding unit.

A printer includes a medium supply unit, a printing unit, a feed unit, which feeds a print medium along a feed direction that is any one of a first direction toward the printing unit from the medium supply unit or a second direction toward the medium supply unit from the printing unit on a reference surface, a depressed portion, which is disposed using the reference surface as a reference, and a movement restricting portion, which includes a guide piece and restricts a movement of the print medium to a direction perpendicular to the feed direction of the print medium by housing at least a part of the guide piece in the depressed portion and abutting a side edge of the print medium on the guide piece, and a side edge on a side of the printing unit of the guide piece is disposed at a position close to an inner wall surface on the printing unit side of the depressed portion with respect to an inner wall surface on a side of the medium supply unit of the depressed portion.

An arrangement for controlling longitudinal forces acting on a web of packaging material being wound from a first reel to a second reel, said arrangement comprising a first roller having a first rotational axis and a second roller having a second rotational axis, wherein the first rotational axis is fixed while the second rotational axis is movable.

A printing apparatus is configured to perform in a first mode in which a second driving unit drives a second spool to feed out a sheet from a roll to a printing unit via a second guide, the printing unit performs printing on the fed sheet, and a basket unit receives the printed sheet printed on by the printing unit, and a second mode in which a first driving unit drives a first spool to feed the out the sheet from a roll to the printing unit via a first guide, the printing unit performs printing on the fed sheet, and the second driving unit drives the second spool to wind up the printed sheet printed by the printing unit as a roll.

A medium transport apparatus includes a transport section configured to support a medium and transport the medium in a transport direction, and a wrinkle reducing section configured to come into contact with the medium to reduce the formation of wrinkles in the medium. The wrinkle reducing section can change surfaces to come into contact with the medium. The medium transport apparatus having such a structure enables to reduce the formation of wrinkles in the medium.

In the present invention a web processing apparatus is provided comprising a web transport station and a web processing station. Said web transport station is arranged to transport, in a single mode of the web processing apparatus, a first web in a process direction towards or away from the web processing station, and to transport, in a tandem mode of the web processing apparatus, the first web and a second web in the process direction towards or away from the web processing station.

The web transport station comprises a web tension control assembly, which comprises a first tensioning device and a second tensioning device. Said first tensioning device is movably arranged for controlling tension of a first web. Said second tensioning device is movably arranged for controlling tension of a second web independently of the tension of the first web. Said first tensioning device comprises a first interior space and the first tensioning device is arranged with respect to the second tensioning device such that the first interior space at least partly accommodates the second tensioning device.
