A printing apparatus includes a transport roller, a printing unit, and a winding angle changing unit. The transport roller is configured to apply a transport force to the printing medium and transport the printing medium. The printing unit is configured to perform printing on the printing medium transported. The winding angle changing unit is provided upstream of the transport roller in a transport direction of the printing medium and configured to change a winding angle at which the printing medium comes into contact with an outer circumferential surface of the transport roller.

A device for detecting the speed and length of a corrugated pipe moving along a processing path includes a camera that, in use, is arranged at a non-zero distance from and facing the corrugated pipe. The camera is configured to capture images of at least a longitudinal portion of the corrugated pipe. A control module is operatively connected to the camera and configured to determine the feeding speed and the length of the corrugated pipe based on the images captured by the camera.
