Problems solved by technology

Although this configuration can reduce cost by using a plate-shaped metal rail instead of the guide shaft, it is difficult to achieve simultaneous removal of the recording head because a mechanism for posture stabilization must be contained in a small space

Embodiment Construction

[0032] Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the different drawings, the same reference numerals are used to designate the same or corresponding parts.

[0033] Here, the distance from the recording head 7 to the platen 34 supporting the recording medium is referred to as "recording head-to-platen distance". In addition, the distance from the carriage 50 carrying the recording head 7 to the lower surface 52 a of the guide rail 52 is referred to as "restricting portion distance".

[0034] The position of the carriage unit 5 a for recording on recording media other than cardboard, thick paper, or envelopes is referred to as a "normal position". The head-to-platen distance when the carriage unit 5a is located at the normal position is referred to as "normal head-to-platen distance". The position of the carriage unit 5a for recording on cardboard or thick paper is called "cardboard position".

[0035] Also, he...

Abstract

A recording apparatus includes recording heads mounted in a carriage which can move in a direction vertical to a main surface of a recording medium, a guide rail which guides movement of the carriage, and a recovery unit which recovers recording characteristics. The carriage has a regulating section which regulates vertical upward movement of the carriage. A regulating section distance between the guide rail and regulating section is switchable between a first distance and a second distance which is smaller than the first distance. The regulating section distance is set to the second distance when the recovery unit performs a recovery operation.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a recording apparatus for recording images on a recording medium using one or more recording heads mounted on a carriage movable along the recording medium. Media space between recording devices. Background technique [0002] Generally, a recording apparatus having a printer, copier, facsimile, or other functions is configured to form an image (including characters and symbols) on a recording medium such as paper, cloth, plastic sheet, OHP sheet, and envelope based on image recording information using a recording head. ). The recording device may be of a serial scan type or a linear scan type. The serial type involves recording images by alternating between a main scan for moving a recording head along a recording medium and a sub scan for conveying the recording medium by predetermined increments. The linear type includes recording an image by recording one line at a time using only sub-scanning for conveying the re...
