A liquid ejection apparatus, including: a recording portion (9) including a liquid ejection head (10) having an ejection face (10a), the liquid ejection head being elongated in a first direction parallel to the ejection face; a supply portion (1c) configured to supply a recording medium; a support member (61) configured to support the recording medium while facing the ejection face; a conveyor mechanism (50) including (i) a conveyance guide (31 a, 31b, 31c) configured to guide the recording medium and defining a U-shaped curved path extending from the supply portion toward the support member and (ii) a conveyor roller (24) configured to convey the recording medium along the conveyance guide, the conveyor mechanism being configured to convey the recording medium in a second direction parallel to the ejection face and perpendicular to the first direction; a first housing (1a) accommodating the recording portion; and a second housing (1b) accommodating the supply portion, the support member, and the conveyor mechanism, wherein the first housing is pivotable about a pivot shaft (1x) extending along the first direction, between (i) an ejection position at which the recording portion ejects liquid onto the recording medium supported by the support member and (ii) a distant position at which the recording portion is farther from the support member than the recording portion in a situation in which the first housing is located at the ejection position, wherein, when the first housing is located at the ejection position, the pivot shaft is located at a position that is farther from the support member than the ejection face in a third direction perpendicular to the ejection face and that is downstream of the recording portion in the second direction, wherein the conveyance guide includes a guide portion (31d) disposed downstream of the conveyor roller and upstream of the recording portion in the second direction, the guide portion having a guide face inclined in a direction directed from the ejection face toward the support member in the third direction toward a downstream side of the guide face in the second direction, the guide portion being configured to guide the recording medium along the guide face, wherein, when the first housing is located at the ejection position, the guide portion is opposed to the recording portion in the second direction with a clearance therebetween, and wherein the recording portion is configured to pass through a space corresponding to the clearance when the first housing is pivoted between the ejection position and the distant position.

Disclosed is a disk label printer that includes a slot-in type optical disk driving mechanism and a printing mechanism integrated with each other, has a small size, and prints a high-quality image on the label surface of an optical disk (D). The disclosed disk label printer includes: a case that has a slot through which an optical disk is inserted or ejected formed therein; an optical disk driving mechanism that is provided in the case and writes and/or reads signals to and/or from the optical disk mounted to a disk mounting portion; and a printing mechanism that is provided in the case and includes a thermal head (21) printing a desired image on a label surface of the optical disk (D). The printing mechanism is provided on a transfer path of the optical disk (D) toward the optical disk driving mechanism between the slot and the optical disk driving mechanism.

An ink jet printing apparatus for printing on a moving substrate 16 is described. The apparatus comprises ink jet printheads 4 for printing on a surface of the substrate, a plurality of rollers 12, 14 arranged to move the substrate 16 relative to the printhead 4, and a pressure source 22. The pressure source 22 is arranged to apply a negative gauge pressure 32 to the substrate 16. The application of the pressure can hold the substrate flat and can reduce undesired movement of the substrate relative to the rollers 12, 14. The apparatus allows for high quality full colour images to be printed onto substrates in a single pass using an ink jet printer.
摘要:
A liquid ejection head is operable to eject a liquid droplet toward a target position. A transporter transports a first target medium toward the target position in a first direction. A guide member has a guide face along which a tray member on which a second target medium is mounted is fed toward the target position in a second direction which is opposite to the first direction. The guide member is pivotable between a first position for closing the guide face and a second position for opening the guide face to support the tray member. A first sensor detects that the guide member is placed in either one of the first position and the second position. A controller disables the transporter from transporting the first target medium when the first sensor detects that the guide member is placed in the second position.

A feeder (3) is adapted to feed a medium (P) to a down stream section in a first direction. A feeding tray (7) has a supporting face (5) adapted to support the medium (P) thereon and formed with a groove (47). A first edge guide (31) is provided on the supporting face (5) so as to be slidable in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. A second edge guide (39) is provided on the supporting face (5) so as to oppose to the first edge guide, so that the medium (P) is placed therebetween. An auxiliary guide body (43) is provided in the first edge guide (31) and having a projection slidably engaged with the groove (47), the auxiliary guide body (43) being slidable relative to the first edge guide in the first direction and a third direction opposite to the first direction, in accordance with the slide movement of the first edge guide in the second direction by way of the engagement between the projection and the groove (47). The auxiliary guide body (43) has a guiding face (45) projected from the first edge guide in the first direction when a distance between the first edge guide and the second edge guide is no greater than a first prescribed value and adapted to be brought into contact with one of the side edges of the medium (P).
