Abstract:
There is provided a printing apparatus which includes the following: A printhead including a plurality of nozzles that discharge ink to a print medium. A first detection unit that detects a distance between the printhead and a platen. An adjustment unit that adjusts the distance between the printhead and the platen. An acquisition unit that acquires difference information concerning a difference of a distance between the platen and each of the nozzle on an upstream side and the nozzle on a downstream side in a conveyance direction of the print medium. The adjustment unit adjusts the distance based on a detection result of the first detection unit and the difference information acquired by the acquisition unit.
Abstract:
A printing apparatus includes a conveyance unit including a pair of rotation members that nip a roll sheet, and configured to convey the sheet by rotation of the pair of rotation members, a printing unit, and a control unit configured to, upon executing a new print job, cause the conveyance unit to perform a preparatory operation in which the sheet is conveyed in a forward direction and then conveyed in a reverse direction and stopped. If a predetermined condition is met after completion of a previous print job, the control unit causes the conveyance unit to perform the preparatory operation, and if the predetermined condition is not met after completion of a previous print job, the control unit does not cause the conveyance unit to perform the preparatory operation.

Abstract:
An inkjet apparatus includes, a carriage, mounting a head that discharges ink, configured to reciprocally move with respect to a sheet that receives the ink, a sensor unit, attached to the carriage, configured to read information from the sheet, and a rectifying skirt, attached to the carriage, having a rectifying surface that faces the sheet. The sensor unit is disposed above the rectifying skirt.
Abstract:
A carriage apparatus comprising: a carriage; a first and a second wiring bundle both connected to the carriage and follow the carriage; and a bendable sheet member sandwiched at least between the first and the second wiring bundle and follow the carriage, wherein the sheet member includes a first region and a second region positioned on a side of the carriage with respect to the first region, the rigidity of the second region is lower than that of the first region.
Abstract:
A recording apparatus includes a carriage, a tank, and a flow passage. The carriage includes a liquid ejecting recording head and reciprocates in first and second directions. The flow passage supplies liquid from the tank to the recording head, and includes a fixed flow passage, a first flow passage, and a second flow passage. The fixed flow passage is connected to the tank and does not to follow a movement of the carriage. The first flow passage is branched off from the fixed flow passage, is connected to the recording head in the first direction, and follows the carriage movement. The second flow passage is branched off from the fixed flow passage, is connected to the recording head in the second direction, and follows the carriage movement. After the carriage moves in the first direction, stops, and moves in the second direction, liquid is sucked from the recording head.

Abstract:
The carriage apparatus includes a carriage configured to reciprocally move in a first direction, a first motor arranged on a side of one end of a range of movement of the carriage and configured to drive the carriage, a second motor arranged on a side of the other end of the range of movement of the carriage and configured to drive the carriage, a carriage belt suspended between the first motor and the second motor, attached with the carriage, and configured to move the carriage in the first direction, and a support portion configured to mount the second motor so that the second motor is displaceable in the first direction with respect to the first motor.
Abstract:
An apparatus includes a printing unit, a conveyance unit including first and second rotating members that nip and convey the sheet, and configured to hold the sheet by temporarily stopping the conveyance before completion of discharge of the sheet, a detection unit configured to detect a rotation of the first rotating member, a determination unit configured to determine whether the sheet has been pulled in a discharge direction based on a detection result of the detection unit in a case where the conveyance unit holds the sheet, and a control unit configured to, if the determination unit determines that the sheet has been pulled in the discharge direction, cause the conveyance unit to perform a discharging process of the sheet.
