Abstract:
A medium supporting unit includes a supporting portion that supports a medium and a holding portion that holds the medium that is in a state of being supported by the supporting portion, and the holding portion includes a first portion that is a portion at one side of a straight line passing on a center of the holding portion in a plan view of the holding portion, and a second portion that is a portion at the another side of the straight line, a weight of the first portion being different from a weight of the second portion. This configuration of the medium supporting unit enables suppression of floating of the medium without impairing the ease of handling of the medium supporting unit.
Abstract:
A cutter device includes a cutter configured to cut a material to be cut; a carriage having a cutter and moving in a widthwise direction with respect to a feeding direction of the material to be cut; and a guide unit configured to guide the carriage in the widthwise direction and, assuming that the movement of the carriage when the cutter cuts the material to be cut is an outward route, a homeward route of the cutter of the carriage is different from the outward route of the cutter, and is shifted from the outward route toward one material to be cut which moves first in the direction away from the other material to be cut in the feeding direction immediately after the cutting from between the materials to be cut divided into two parts.
