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 recording device has: a recording section that discharges a liquid to a medium for recording purposes; a maintenance unit that abuts the recording section and performs maintenance of the recording section; a first moving section that causes the recording section to abut the maintenance unit and separates the recording section from the maintenance unit; and a restricting section that can suppress movement of the recording section toward the maintenance unit after the recording section abuts the maintenance unit. The first moving section has a driving source and a worm gear that transmits the power of the driving source. A force with which the driving source causes the recording section to abut the maintenance unit is smaller than a force with which the driving source separates the recording section from the maintenance unit.

Abstract: A printer, which is an example of a liquid ejecting apparatus, including a slide mechanism that has a first member and a second member configured to slide with each other in lifting and lowering directions; a head that is fixed to the first member and has a nozzle for ejecting a liquid; a lifting and lowering mechanism that is fixed to the second member, and lifts and lowers the head in the lifting and lowering directions; and a cap that covers the nozzle. The first member is configured of a wall member having an elongated hole, and the second member is configured of a pin. The lifting and lowering mechanism relatively moves the head toward the cap in a state where the head does not slide in a direction away from the cap.

Abstract: A printer includes a transport unit, a line head, and a head moving unit. The transport unit supports a medium during transport. The line head performs recording on the medium that is disposed so as to face the transport unit at one or more recording positions of recording on the medium. The head moving unit moves the line head to one or more retreat positions away from the transport unit with respect to the recording position. In addition, the head moving unit moves the line head in a B direction intersecting both an X direction and a Z direction.

Abstract: A recording apparatus includes a apparatus main body, and a unit body that forms a medium transportation path, and is configured to be attachable and detachable with respect to the apparatus main body. The unit body includes a feeding roller that transports a medium, and a driven transportation unit that transmits the drive force of the drive transportation unit to the feeding roller. The unit body is displaceable between a first position at which the driven transmission unit is connected to the drive transmission unit and a second position at which the driven transmission unit is separated from the drive transmission unit. When a user pulls out the medium, the unit body retained at the first position moves from the first position to the second position.

Abstract: A printer, which is an example of a liquid ejecting apparatus, includes a movable body including a head for ejecting a liquid or a cap performing maintenance of the head. Further, the printer includes a pair of rack and pinion mechanisms including a rack and a drive gear to move the movable body in a first direction in which the rack extends; and a switching mechanism provided for each of the rack and pinion mechanisms and switching presence and absence of meshing between the rack and the drive gear when the movable body is at an exchange position.

Abstract: A printer includes a line head, a transport unit, a head moving unit, a cap unit, and a wiper unit. The head moving unit moves the line head to a recording position and a retracted position along a B direction. The cap unit is configured to move back and forth in an A direction between the line head and the transport unit. The wiper unit is configured to move back and forth in a Y direction intersecting both the B direction and the A direction between the line head and the transport unit. At least a portion of a first movement area in which the cap unit moves and at least a portion of a second movement area in which the wiper unit moves are disposed at an identical position in the B direction.

Abstract: A recording apparatus includes a placement unit on which sheets of paper are placed, a feeder that feeds a sheet, thrust mechanisms that push up the placement unit toward the feeder, and an edge guide. Each of the thrust mechanisms includes a coil spring that imparts an urging force to the placement unit, one case that is mounted on the placement unit and receives the coil spring from one end thereof and accommodates the coil spring, and another case that is disposed so as to partially overlap the one case and receives the coil spring from the other end thereof and accommodates the coil spring. The one case and the other case are configured to be movable relative to each other in the urging direction of the coil spring and to be rotatable together in the circumferential direction.
