    摘要: A liquid discharge apparatus includes a recording head, a platen, a measuring device, and control circuitry. The recording head discharges liquid droplets. The platen holds a recording medium. The measuring device measures a gap between the recording head and a 5 recording surface of the recording medium held by the platen. The control circuitry causes the recording head to discharge liquid droplets in accordance with print data to perform printing on the recording medium held by the platen, the control circuitry configured to set a range of the gap between the recording head and the recording surface of the recording medium, in which printing is allowed for a type of the recording medium, in accordance with 10 data for specifying the type of the recording medium held by the platen and a measured value of the gap measured by the measuring device.

    摘要: A fixing device fixes a toner image on a recording medium transported to a fixing nip by applying pressure and heat to the recording medium. The fixing device includes an endless belt formed into a loop with both ends bonded together, the belt accommodating a heat source inside thereof, a pressing roller rotating in contact with the endless belt forming the fixing nip between the endless belt and the pressing roller, and a fixed member provided inside a loop of the endless belt to press the endless belt against a pressing roller. A reinforcing member is bonded to the fixed member inside the loop of the endless belt to reinforce the fixed member. A reflector is provided to reflect light emitted from the heat source toward the inner circumferential surface of the endless belt. The reflector is held on the reinforcing member by either plastically or elastically deforming by itself.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus comprises a printing head that ejects one or more ink drops onto a medium. The print head is mounted on a carriage and is supplied with ink via a supply tube. A sheet like member keeps the supply tube apart from the medium when the printing head ejects ink drop onto the medium.
