Abstract: There is provided a technology which can improve the mounting posture of a liquid ejection apparatus when mounted to a liquid container. The liquid container is flexible and includes a storage portion configured to store the liquid and a connection member. The connection member is provided with a liquid outlet which is inserted with a liquid introduction portion, a container-side electrical connector which makes electrical contact with an apparatus-side electrical connection unit while receive at least +Z direction force from the apparatus-side electrical connection unit, a first receiver configured to receive a first positioning portion, a second receiver configured to receive a second positioning portion, and a recess which houses a protrusion of the case. The recess and the container-side electrical connector are formed at positions which at least partially overlap each other when viewed from a Z direction in a mounting state. In the mounting state, the width of the liquid container in the Z directions is larger than the width in the Y directions and the width in the X directions.

Abstract: An image recording device includes a drive roller, a driven roller, a recording unit and a control unit. The driven roller is configured and arranged with respect to the drive roller so that the recording medium is grasped between the drive roller and the driven roller. The recording unit is configured and arranged to record an image on the recording medium arranged further to a downstream side than the drive roller in a first direction. When the control unit stops conveying of the recording medium in the first direction, the control unit is configured to stop conveying of the recording medium in a state in which an area of the recording medium different from an area, in which the image is planned to be recorded after a timing at which conveying of the recording medium is stopped, is in contact with the driven roller.

Abstract: An image recording device includes a drive roller that conveys a recording medium by rotating, a driven roller that grasps the recording medium between it and the drive roller, a recording unit capable of recording an image on the recording medium arranged further to the downstream side than the drive roller in a first direction which is the recording media conveyance direction, and a control unit that records an image on the recording media while conveying the recording media in the first direction. The control unit, when the conveying of the recording media in the first direction stops, starts conveying the recording media in a second direction which is the reverse direction of the first direction, and stops conveying of the recording media in the second direction in a state with the image recorded on the recording media positioned between the drive roller and the driven roller.

Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a head and a control unit. The head discharges an imaging liquid for forming an image, and a supplementary liquid for supplementing formation of the image onto a printing medium. The control unit controls the head to execute a first operation, in which the imaging liquid is discharged onto a first region and a second operation, in which the supplementary liquid is discharged onto a region of the printing medium onto which the imaging liquid is not discharged. The control unit controls the head such that the discharge amount of the supplementary liquid on a second region, which is adjacent to the first region, is less than the discharge amount of the supplementary liquid on a third region, which is a region onto which the imaging liquid is not discharged and is not adjacent to the first region.

Abstract: A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a liquid ejecting head and a mounting unit. The liquid ejecting head is able to eject liquid. A plurality of liquid containers containing the liquid to be supplied to the liquid ejecting head mounted so as to overlap in an up-down direction. The mounting unit includes a separator and an electrical member. The separator separates, in the up-down direction, a space where the plurality of liquid containers are mounted. The electrical member allows electricity to flow therethrough. The separator has a through portion that penetrates through the separator in the up-down direction. The through portion is positioned such that, when seen in the up-down direction, an edge portion of the through portion does not overlap with the electrical member positioned below the through portion.
