    Abstract: A roller cleaning mechanism includes a cleaning member making contact with a conveying roller, a holder holding the cleaning member, a housing for the holder, and an urging member. The holder is supported on the housing swingably about a swing shaft parallel to the axial direction of a driving roller. The urging member urges the holder oppositely to the rotation direction of the conveying roller. When the conveying roller rotates, its rotative driving force keeps the holder at a cleaning position where a cleaning face of the cleaning member makes contact with the outer circumferential face of the conveying roller. When the conveying roller is halted, the urging force of the urging member keeps the holder at a retracted position where a part of the cleaning member different from the cleaning face makes contact with the outer circumferential face of the conveying roller.

    Abstract: A liquid discharge apparatus includes a transport belt that transports a medium, a discharge section that discharges a liquid to the medium transported by the transport belt, a cleaning mechanism that cleans the transport belt, and a control section that controls the cleaning mechanism. The cleaning mechanism includes a web that abuts against the transport belt and wipes off the liquid on the transport belt, and a driving section that changes a wiping surface of the web that abuts against the transport belt. The control section performs a first operation of changing the wiping surface of the web that abuts against the transport belt a predetermined number of times within a cleaning period for cleaning the transport belt.

    Abstract: An adhesive removing device includes a scraping member scraping an adhesive layer adhering to a front surface of a belt transporting a medium being a transport target object, and a support portion supporting the scraping member. The support portion supports the scraping member such that a support state of the scraping member is changeable. For example, the support portion supports a different type of scraping member in a replaceable manner.
