    摘要: A printing apparatus includes a plurality of set units to set rolled print media, a conveyance unit to convey the print media, a printing unit, a detection unit, and display units. The printing unit prints an image on the print media conveyed by the conveyance unit. The detection unit detects whether any one of the print media is fed to a predetermined printable position at which printing is performable by the printing unit. Each display unit is provided on a different one of the plurality of set units and configured to indicate whether a print medium set in a corresponding set unit is being fed. When the printing unit performs printing on the print medium, each display unit indicates whether the print medium set in the corresponding set unit is being fed in accordance with a result of detection performed by the detection unit.

    摘要: A substrate orientation device includes a frame that supports a substrate on which liquid is dispensed, for example as may relate to (bio)chemical microarray fabrication. The frame is movable to different positions, such as for mounting the substrate to the frame, depositing droplets on the substrate, and applying a bulk liquid to the substrate. The substrate orientation device may be movable to different locations, such as different liquid dispensing devices, for example a printer and a flow cell.

    摘要: An ink-jet recording apparatus includes a recording head, an irregularity detecting unit, a recording medium conveyance unit, and a control unit. The irregularity detecting unit detects an irregularity with the recording medium conveyed toward the recording head. The recording medium conveyance unit has a recording medium diversion unit into which the recording medium with which an irregularity has been detected by the irregularity detecting unit is conveyed. The control unit can perform flushing operation and, when the irregularity detecting unit detects an irregularity with the recording medium, the control unit cancels the flushing operation set immediately before the recording medium with which the irregularity has been detected and conveys, by controlling the recording medium conveyance unit, the recording medium to the recording medium diversion unit.

    摘要: Disclosed is a system and method for cooling paper within a printer assembly that includes at least one misting assembly designed to mist an aqueous solution onto an unprinted surface of paper stock after a first side is printed. At least one convection accelerator assembly is designed to accelerate evaporation of the aqueous solution before the printed paper stock arrives at the at least one printing station for printing on the unprinted surface. At least one or more of a paper temperature, machine temperature, printhead temperature, and humidity sensor are operationally coupled to at least one controller assembly programmed to control at least one or more of misting, humidity, and airflow. The at least one controller assembly is designed to determine the heat to be dissipated into the airflow from the printed paper stock to obtain a targeted paper temperature and, therefore, the amount and placement of aqueous solution misted.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes a conveyance section that conveys a recording medium along a conveyance path. The image forming apparatus includes a floating detector including a light projector and a light receiver and that detects floating of the recording medium based on a light reception result by the light receiver of light emitted from the light projector and passing above the conveyance path. The image forming apparatus includes a temperature detector that detects a temperature in an optical path of the light. The image forming apparatus includes a variable mechanism that changes an emission direction of the light from the light projector. The image forming apparatus includes circuitry to control an operation of the variable mechanism based on the temperature detected by the temperature detector.
