Transport route, recording device, recording system, and transport device

Abstract

To provide a transport route that solves the problem that a part of a route member that does not need to be replaced may also be replaced when a route member constituting the transport route is replaced across a width direction of the transport route.SOLUTION: A transport route TR is a transport route TR that transports a medium P in a transport direction, and has a plurality of route members XP that guides the medium P in an X-axis direction that intersects with the transport direction, and the route members XP are interchangeable.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 14

11. A recording device that records onto a medium, A transport device for transporting the medium recorded by the recording device, the transport device comprising a transport path according to any one of claims 1 to 5, A control unit that controls the recording device and the transport device, Equipped with, A recording system characterized by the following features.

12. A transport device for transporting a medium recorded by a recording device, A transport path provided according to any one of claims 1 to 5, A conveying device characterized by the following features.

13. A transport path for transporting a medium in the transport direction, The system has multiple path members for guiding the medium in the direction of the width of the transport path that intersects the transport direction, The multiple path members are interchangeable with one another. An adjacent portion adjacent to a predetermined position where the path member is arranged in the path width direction, further comprising the adjacent portion having a portion to be assembled, The aforementioned path member includes an assembly portion, When one of the plurality of path members is designated as the first path member, and the first path member is placed at the predetermined position, The assembly portion of the first path member is assembled to the assembly portion of the adjacent portion, thereby positioning the first path member at the predetermined location. A transport route characterized by the following features.

14. A transport path and A recording unit that records the transport path on the transported medium, It comprises a control unit and, The transport path has a plurality of path members for guiding the medium in the path width direction of the transport path that intersects with the transport direction, The multiple path members are interchangeable with one another. The control unit calculates the degree of deterioration in the performance of each of the plurality of path members for guiding the medium, based on the recorded information relating to the specifications of the record. If, among the plurality of path members, there are path members whose degree of deterioration exceeds a set value and path members whose degree of deterioration does not exceed the set value, the control unit shall provide notification to prompt the exchange of the path members exceeding the set value and the path members not exceeding the set value. In the notification, the control unit prompts the exchange of the path member exceeding the set value and the path member not exceeding the set value, which has the smallest degree of deterioration among the plurality of path members. A transport route characterized by the following features.

15. A transport path and A recording unit that records the transport path on the transported medium, It comprises a control unit and, The transport path has a plurality of path members for guiding the medium in the path width direction of the transport path that intersects with the transport direction, The multiple path members are interchangeable with one another. The control unit calculates the degree of deterioration in the performance of each of the plurality of path members for guiding the medium, based on the recorded information relating to the specifications of the record. If, among the plurality of path members, there are path members whose degree of deterioration exceeds a set value and path members whose degree of deterioration does not exceed the set value, the control unit shall provide notification to prompt the exchange of the path members exceeding the set value and the path members not exceeding the set value.
