An accessory device is for an electronic marking device. The accessory device has a connection device for releasably connecting to an electronic marking device, and the accessory device has a stop for limiting movement of a document transversely to a printhead of a connected electronic marking device. A deflecting mechanism deflects the document, and the stop and the deflecting mechanism are arranged on different sides of the printhead of the connected electronic marking device. An electronic marking device includes a printhead, a movement detector, and a controller. The controller is connected to the movement detector and to the printhead and is configured to actuate the printhead in order to print a document when movement of the electronic marking device over the document is detected by the movement detector. The electronic marking device has a stop for limiting movement of the document transversely to the printhead.

A mobile device configured to be coupled to a counterpart device includes a driving section configured to be driven by electric power, a coupling section configured to be coupled to the counterpart device, and an accommodation section configured to accommodate an all-solid-state battery. When the counterpart device is coupled to the coupling section, the driving section is driven by electric power supplied from the counterpart device, and when the counterpart device is not coupled to the coupling section, the driving section is driven by electric power supplied from the all-solid-state battery.

The present invention provides a printer station for a vehicle comprising: a housing having a top surface member connected to two side members forming an interior housing channel, a printer sliding tray, and a vehicle mounting bracket wherein: the interior housing channel is designed to contain at least a portion of the printer sliding tray; each of the two side members of the housing includes a slide feature that accepts and allows the printer sliding tray to slide in and out of the interior housing channel; the vehicle mounting bracket is attached to the housing; the vehicle mounting bracket includes vehicle attachment features for attachment to a vehicle's interior; the printer tray is designed to contain a printer; and the printer tray includes a printer paper roll holding feature to contain a printer paper roll that feeds into the printer.

A liquid jetting apparatus includes a casing, a tank formed with a liquid storage chamber which stores liquid, an inlet which allows the liquid to be poured into the liquid storage chamber, and a liquid outflow channel which allows the liquid to flow out from the liquid storage chamber, a conveying mechanism which conveys a recording medium along a conveying path extending in a front-rear direction, a carriage which moves in a left-right direction, and a head mounted on the carriage and having a nozzle which jets the liquid onto the recording medium conveyed by the conveying mechanism. The tank, the conveying path, and the carriage are arranged inside the casing, the tank is arranged outside the conveying path in the left-right direction, and at least a part of the tank is arranged inside both ends of a movement area of the carriage in the left-right direction.

A housing is provided with a sheet ejection port for discharging sheet that passed through a printing unit upward. A cutting unit is arranged between the printing unit and the sheet ejection port and cuts the sheet by either a method of cutting the sheet in the entire width direction or a method of leaving the central portion of the sheet in the width direction. First protrusions and second protrusions protruding from the inner periphery of the sheet ejection port are provided at a plurality of locations along the width direction of the sheet. The first protrusion faces a first surface of the sheet and the second protrusion faces a second surface, which is the back surface of the first surface of the sheet. The first protrusion and the second protrusion are provided at positions deviated from each other in the sheet width direction and bend the sheet in an undulating shape in the width direction therebetween. Further, protrusion height of at least one of the first protrusions and the second protrusions in the central portion in the width direction of the sheet is lower than protrusion heights of the first protrusions and the second protrusions in other regions.

An attaching loop member to mount a printing device on a belt-like member worn by a user includes: a device-side member connectable to the printing device; and an attaching-side member mountable on the belt-like member worn by the user. The device-side member includes: a device-side plate portion; a fixing portion fixable to the printing device; a shaft portion and an engaging portion provided on the device-side plate portion. The attaching-side member includes: a bearing portion engageable with the shaft portion; an engaged portion engageable with the engaging portion; and an open portion providing an open region between the bearing portion and the engaged portion to allow the belt-like member to penetrate through the open region. The engagement of the shaft portion with the bearing portion allows the device-side member to pivot relative to the attaching-side member to realize engagement and disengagement of the engaging portion relative to the engaged portion.

A recording apparatus includes a medium container to store a medium, feeding rollers to be switched between a feeding state in which the feeding rollers are in contact with the medium and a separated state in which the feeding rollers are separated from the medium, a reversing path for reversing the medium that has been fed from the medium container, a recorder to perform recording on the medium that has been reversed by the reversing path, a back-feed path for introducing the medium that has been fed in the reverse direction from the recording region in which recording has been performed by the recorder toward the reversing path, and a nip roller configured to nip the medium within the back-feed path. At least a portion of the feeding rollers that are in the separated state overlaps the nip roller in the direction of the height of the recording apparatus.
