Abstract: A wiping device includes a wiper unit, a carriage, and a fixing member. The wiper unit includes a wiper that wipes a liquid discharge surface of a liquid discharge head from which liquid is to be discharged. The carriage moves along the liquid discharge surface in a first direction and a second direction, both of which are opposite to each other. The fixing member fixes the wiper unit to the carriage. When the carriage is disposed on a side in the first direction with respect to a middle point in a moving range of the carriage, the fixing member is removable in the first direction.

Abstract: A recording device has: a recording head configured to perform recording on a medium; a medium storage below the recording head configured to store the medium to be recoded; a supply path comprising a first curved supply path curved so as to be convex upward and transporting the medium fed out of the medium storage in a reversed direction via the first curved supply path; and a reversing path comprising a second curved path curved so as to be convex downward and transporting the recorded medium into a direction including a vertically upward component via second curved path from a direction including a vertically downward component; wherein the supply path joins the reversing path, and the first curved path and the second curved path overlap when viewed horizontally.

Abstract: A recording device has: at least one medium storage section that stores a medium on which to perform recording; a recording section positioned vertically above the medium storage section, the recording section performing recording on the medium; and a reversing path by which the medium that passed through a position at which the medium faces the recording section is reversed in a direction including a vertically upward component by being transported in a transport direction including a vertically downward component and being made to pass through a curved reversing path curved so as to be convex downward. When only one medium storage section is provided, an overlap is found between at least part of the one medium storage section and at least part of the curved reversing path when viewed horizontally. When a plurality of medium storage sections are provided, an overlap is found between at least part of the topmost medium storage section in the vertical direction and at least part of the curved reversing path when viewed horizontally.

Abstract: The medium detection unit is a component constituting an optical path of the detection light, and includes a first optical element disposed on an upper side of the medium transport path and a second optical element disposed on a lower side of the medium transport path so as to face the first optical element, the second optical element has a facing surface that faces the first optical element, the facing surface being located at a position that is not in contact with a medium nipped by both the first roller pair and the second roller pair, and a medium feeding direction by the first roller pair is a direction by which a leading edge of a medium fed out abuts a position upstream in the medium transport direction relative to a position where the detection light is received on the facing surface.
