    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes a recording head, an endless belt, a plurality of through holes for flashing, a droplet receiver, and an anti-floating member. In the recording head, a plurality of nozzles capable of ejecting droplets onto a recording medium are arranged. The endless belt conveys the recording medium toward a position where an image is to be formed on the recording medium by the recording head. The through holes are formed in the endless belt. The droplet receiver receives flashing droplets having been ejected from the nozzles by flashing without contributing to formation of the image and having passed through the through holes. The anti-floating member prevents floating of end portions of the endless belt in a widthwise direction of the endless belt.

    摘要: A recording device includes a recording head that performs recording on a medium, a transport belt that sucks and transports the medium at a position facing the recording head, a charging unit that forms a charging sucking area on the transport belt, in which the medium is sucked by charging, by applying a voltage to the transport belt, and a control section that controls the charging unit. A belt downstream roller pair that transports the medium is provided downstream of the transport belt in a medium transport direction. After a downstream end of the medium is nipped by the belt downstream roller pair, the control section controls the charging unit so that an upstream area downstream of an upstream end of the medium, which is an area including the upstream end of the medium, does not come into contact with the charging sucking area of the transport belt.

    摘要: A printing apparatus includes a printing section that performs printing on a medium containing calcium carbonate, a transport section that rotationally drives a transport belt that forms at least a portion of a transport path in which the medium is transported, a voltage supply section that supplies a charging voltage to a charging roller for charging the transport belt, a detection section that detects whether or not charging abnormality has occurred in the transport belt, a determination section that determines whether a cause of the charging abnormality is abnormality of the voltage supply section or abnormality of the transport belt, and a machine learning section that performs machine learning of a determination condition in the determination section, based on a learning model in which a rotation amount of the transport belt and a detection result of the detection section are associated with each other.
