A liquid consuming apparatus includes: a liquid consumer that consumes liquid; a liquid receiver that receives the liquid discharged from the liquid consumer; a first waste-liquid storage connected to the liquid receiver so as to allow communication of the liquid therebetween; a second waste-liquid storage connected to the first waste-liquid storage so as to allow communication of the liquid therebetween; a housing; and a sheet tray supported by the housing. The first waste-liquid storage is disposed on a side of the sheet tray. The second waste-liquid storage is disposed under the sheet tray.

An inkjet printer includes: at least one ink receptor having a tray shape with a bottom plate and an opening facing upward and being horizontally movable; and a suction unit. The at least one ink receptor is configured to receive ink ejected from at least one inkjet head as waste liquid. The suction unit includes at least one suction nozzle arranged above the bottom plate within a movable range of the at least one ink receptor and is configured to suction the ink in the at least one ink receptor through the opening with the at least one suction nozzle.

A holding portion holding a waste liquid container is disposed at a position at which a waste liquid container region overlapping the waste liquid container in a region inside a printing apparatus and a movement path of a carriage overlap when viewed from a transport direction, above a transport path and downstream of the movement path of the carriage in the transport direction, a liquid supply tube overlaps the waste liquid container region when viewed from the transport direction, and a contact reducing member reducing contact between the waste liquid container and the liquid supply tube is disposed between the liquid supply tube and the waste liquid container region.

A holding portion holding a waste liquid container is disposed at a position at which a waste liquid container region overlapping the waste liquid container in a region inside a printing apparatus and a movement path of a carriage overlap when viewed from a transport direction, above a transport path and downstream of the movement path of the carriage in the transport direction, a liquid supply tube overlaps the waste liquid container region when viewed from the transport direction, the waste liquid container region is spaced apart from the liquid supply tube, and a discharge portion including a nozzle in which a discharge port for discharging the waste liquid is formed is provided to be movable relative to the holding portion.

A liquid discharge apparatus includes a liquid discharge head, a mist collector, an electrode, and a cleaning liquid applier. The liquid discharge head discharges a liquid. The mist collector includes a mist collection portion and a connection portion. The mist collection portion is formed of a conductive material to collect a mist of the liquid on a surface of the mist collection portion. The connection portion is disposed at each end of the mist collection portion. The electrode is connected to the connection portion to apply a voltage to the mist collection portion through the connection portion. The cleaning liquid applier applies a cleaning liquid to the surface of the mist collection portion to remove the mist from the surface of the mist collection portion.

A platen includes: a supporting portion that can support a sheet; a suction unit that sucks the sheet in such a manner as to attach the sheet to the supporting portion; a first ink receiver that receives ink ejected downstream of the leading end of the sheet passing the supporting portion; and a second ink receiver that receives ink ejected upstream of the trailing end of the sheet passing the supporting portion.

A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a liquid ejecting unit that can eject a first liquid and a second liquid to a medium, a first rotating body having a circumferential surface that can receive the first liquid ejected from the liquid ejecting unit, a first sliding contact member that can be slidably in contact with the circumferential surface of the first rotating body, a first collection unit that collects the first liquid that is collected from the circumferential surface by the first sliding contact member, a second rotating body having a circumferential surface that can receive the second liquid ejected from the liquid ejecting unit, a second sliding contact member that can be slidably in contact with the circumferential surface of the second rotating body, and a second collection unit that collects the second liquid that is collected from the circumferential surface by the second sliding contact member.

A printer includes a medium transporter configured to feed out a medium in a rolled shape and transport the medium in a first direction; a head provided movably in a second direction and configured to eject droplets for image-forming downward along a vertical direction toward the medium which is transported; a receiver provided below a region of the medium facing the head along the vertical direction, and configured to receive the droplets ejected onto the medium from the head and having passed through the medium downward along the vertical direction; and a support member configured switchably arranged at a supporting position arranged between the medium and the receiver along the vertical direction and a retracted position that is retracted from the supporting position, and configured capable of supporting the medium in a state of being arranged at the supporting position.

A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a casing, a liquid ejecting head configured to eject a liquid in the casing, an absorber capable of absorbing a portion of the liquid that has leaked into the casing, and a detector capable of detecting the portion of the liquid absorbed by the absorber. The absorber includes a detection portion to be detected by the detector and a plurality of extension portions extending from the detection portion.

Disclosed is a coating device which draws a pattern of a functional liquid on a substrate. The coating device includes: a substrate holding unit which holds the substrate; a droplet discharging unit which discharges a droplet of the functional liquid on the substrate held by the substrate holding unit; a moving unit which relatively moves the substrate holding unit and the droplet discharging unit in a main scanning direction and a sub scanning direction on a base; a mass measuring unit including a cup which receives the droplet discharged by the droplet discharging unit and a mass measuring device which measures a mass of the functional liquid accumulated in the cup; and a liquid drain unit which drains the functional liquid accumulated in the cup.
