An ink-jet recording apparatus includes: an image recorder; a first supporter including support ribs extending to positions under the image recorder; an ink receiver disposed downstream of the support ribs; first and second roller pairs disposed downstream of the first supporter; a guide; and a protrusion disposed between the ink receiver and the first roller pair and having an upper end located below upper ends of the support ribs and above a first imaginary line connecting between a nip position of the first roller pair and a downstream end of the ink receiver. A distance between an upstream end of the ink receiver and a nip position of the second roller pair is less than a length of a first-size sheet and greater than a length of a second-size sheet. The protrusion is disposed, in a widthwise direction, in a region through which the second-size sheet is conveyed.

A printer includes a transport unit that transports continuous paper, a medium support unit in which a support surface that is capable of supporting continuous paper that is transported by a transport unit, and first concave sections, which are indented from the support surface, are formed, and an image capture unit, which is disposed on a lower side of the support surface, and which captures an image of a lower surface of the continuous paper.

Provided is a sheet transport mechanism disposed between a feeding mechanism feeding out a sheet and an acceptance mechanism receiving the sheet. The sheet transport mechanism includes: a transport unit that transports the sheet; and a plurality of curl correction units each including a contact unit which comes into contact with the sheet that is transported by the transport unit. The plurality of curl correction units is disposed at positions different from each other on a transport route of the transport unit, respectively.

A printer includes a recording unit which performs recording on paper, an discharge portion which discharges the paper after the recording by the recording unit, a first paper discharge tray on which the paper which is discharge from the discharge portion is placed, and a retainer which includes a plurality of retaining portions which retains the paper toward the first paper discharge tray on a downstream in a medium discharge direction of the discharge portion, in which the plurality of retaining portions includes a first retaining portion and a second retaining portion which retains closer to an upstream in the medium discharge direction than a retaining position of the first retaining portion.

A medium discharging device includes a paper discharging tray that is disposed below a height position of a discharging roller which discharges a medium and includes a placing surface on which the medium discharged by the discharging roller is placed, and a supporting member that is configured to be movable between a retreat position on an upstream side and an advance position on a downstream side between the discharging roller and the placing surface.

A discharge tray includes a main tray having a support face that supports discharged paper, and an extension tray being supported by the main tray, and being capable of movement between a storage position in which the extension tray is stored in the main tray and an extended position in which the extension tray has been moved to extend along a discharge direction of the paper from a leading end side of the main tray in the discharge direction. A pair of first projections is provided to both ends at the discharge direction leading end side of the main tray, and a pair of second projections that project upward is provided to both ends at the discharge direction leading end side of the extension tray. The pair of second projections are positioned to the inside of the pair of first projections in a width direction orthogonal to the discharge direction.

In one example, a device for partially dried inkjet media output management includes a starwheel positioned on a first side between a number of rollers positioned on a second side to corrugate partially dried inkjet media between the starwheel and the number of rollers.

A post-processing device is provided with a post-processing unit which performs post-processing of a recording medium on which recording is performed, a transport path through which the recording medium is transported, or a deformation suppressing unit which suppresses deformation of the recording medium on a mounting unit on which the recording medium is mounted, in which the deformation suppressing unit is controlled based on a predetermined parameter related to recording processing with respect to the recording medium.

The likelihood of a medium jamming is reduced or avoided during discharging media to a discharged-sheet receiving tray, and a plurality of media are appropriately discharged to, and stacked on, the discharged-sheet receiving tray. A scanner includes an apparatus body including a reading section that reads a sheet, a discharge roller pair that is provided inside the apparatus body and discharges the sheet after reads in the reading section, and a discharged sheet tray that receives the sheet being discharged by the discharge roller pair. The discharged sheet tray includes a first member that has at least a portion that is located inside the apparatus body. The first member is that supports the medium at a position higher than the placement surface of the discharged sheet tray.

An image forming apparatus includes a fixing device including a pressing unit and a heating unit that opposes the pressing unit; and plural guide portions disposed downstream of the fixing device and arranged in a direction crossing a transporting direction of a recording medium. An amount of projection of the guide portions is smaller in a region near a center of the fixing device than in a region near an end of the fixing device.
