A liquid discharge apparatus includes a liquid discharge head including a nozzle face in which a nozzle is formed and configured to discharge a liquid, a carriage on which the liquid discharge head is mounted, and a guide shaft configured to hold the carriage movably. The liquid discharge apparatus further includes a driver configured to move the carriage, and a coupling between the carriage and the driver. The coupling is disposed on an axis of the guide shaft in a direction orthogonal to the axis of the guide shaft.

A liquid ejecting apparatus RIM which ejects liquid onto a medium includes a carriage which includes a control substrate which configures at least a part of a control unit which controls driving of the entire liquid ejecting apparatus, a plurality of ejecting units which eject the liquid, a plurality of driving substrates which are connected to the control substrate, connected to the plurality of ejecting units in one-to-one correspondence, and drives the ejecting unit, an ejecting unit-driving substrate accommodating unit which accommodates the ejecting unit and the driving substrate, and a control substrate accommodating unit which accommodates the control substrate, in which the plurality of driving substrates are connected to the control substrate.

A controller forms an image on a print medium by alternately repeating: a first operation of driving an inkjet head to eject ink from the inkjet head to the print medium while driving a main scanning driver to move the inkjet head in a main scanning direction; and a second operation of driving a sub-scanning driver to move a shuttle in the sub-scanning direction. The controller performs a multi-stage brake control to stop the shuttle in the second operation, and in a second stage and a stage after the second stage of the multi-stage brake control, apply brake to the shuttle at such a timing that a direction of vibration of the shuttle and a direction of force of inertia of the shuttle in braking of the shuttle are opposite to each other.

A printing device includes a casing that houses a carriage; a state indicator configured to indicate a non-grounded state in which the casing is not grounded; and a preventer configured to prevent the carriage from moving when the state indicator indicates the non-grounded state.
