Abstract: A main body frame of a multifunction machine has first and second frames of which surfaces parallel to a Z-axis face each other. A recording head is disposed between the first and the second frames and fixed to the main body frame. An ejection tray is fixed to the main body frame on a +Z direction with respect to the recording head. A scanner is fixed to the main body frame on the +Z direction with respect to the ejection tray and forms an ejection space with the ejection tray. The recording head performs recording on a medium which is being transported toward a first direction, which is an in-plane direction of the first frame. The ejection tray is configured to be removed toward a second direction, which is the in-plane direction of the first frame, in a state where the scanner is fixed to the main body frame.

Abstract: A printing device includes a recording portion performing recording on a medium; a discharge tray loading the medium recorded; a first detector configured to detect the medium of a first load capacity loaded on the discharge tray; a second detector configured to detect the medium of a second load capacity smaller than the first load capacity loaded on the discharge tray; a mounting portion on which an optional device is mounted; and a controller controlling the recording by the recording portion, in which the optional device mounted on the mounting portion is positioned above the discharge tray, the first detector and the second detector are positioned below the optional device mounted on the mounting portion, and when the first detector detects the medium of the first load capacity in a non-mounted case in which the optional device is not mounted, the controller executes full load processing.

Abstract: In a printer, an upstream side transport path for transporting a paper sheet to a recording region in which recording is performed by a recording head from a tube for supplying ink to a recording head from a liquid accommodation body stored in the liquid storage unit and a medium accommodation unit in a state where a recording unit, the liquid storage unit, and a medium accommodation unit are stacked, is configured, and the liquid storage unit includes a liquid storage unit inner transport path including a supply connection section which connects the liquid accommodation body and the tube to each other, and a first transport section which forms a part of the upstream side transport path.
