Printing apparatus

Abstract

To improve operability in setting a medium.SOLUTION: A printing device 1 is provided with: an insertion port 19, formed in a conveying passage of a medium M, into which the medium M is inserted; a roller pair 7 that convey the medium M inserted through the insertion port 19 while holding the medium in the conveying passage; a printing part 8 that performs printing on the medium M conveyed in the conveying passage by the roller pair 7; and a lever 16 that switches a position between the opposing rollers in the roller pair 7, between a holding position where the medium M can be held and a separating position where the medium M is not held, where a first lever 16A as the lever 16 is arranged in a range where the medium M conveyed by the roller pair 7 exists, in a width direction B crossing a conveying direction A1 of the medium M.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3

Claims

1. An insertion port is provided within the transport path for the medium into which the medium is inserted, A pair of rollers that grips and transports the medium inserted through the insertion opening within the transport path, A printing unit that prints on the medium being transported within the transport path by the pair of rollers, A lever for switching the position between opposing rollers in the pair of rollers between a clamping position where the medium can be clamped and a separated position where the medium is not clamped. A foreign object capturing unit that prevents foreign objects from entering through the aforementioned insertion opening, Equipped with, The first lever, as described above, is positioned in the width direction intersecting the conveying direction of the medium, within the range where the medium conveyed by the roller pair is present. The foreign matter capturing unit is displaceable between a foreign matter capturing position that contacts the conveyed medium and a retracted position that does not contact the conveyed medium. The printing apparatus is characterized in that the first lever is configured to switch the foreign object capturing unit between the foreign object capturing position and the retracted position.

2. In the printing apparatus described in claim 1, The printing apparatus is characterized in that the first lever extends in the direction of the advancement and retraction of the medium relative to the insertion opening.

3. In the printing apparatus described in claim 1 or 2, A printing apparatus characterized by having a plurality of the first levers.

4. In the printing apparatus described in claim 1 or 2, The printing apparatus is characterized by comprising a second lever, which is positioned in the width direction outside the range where the medium conveyed by the roller pair exists.

5. In the printing apparatus described in claim 1 or 2, The printing apparatus is characterized in that the first lever is configured to switch the foreign object capturing unit between the foreign object capturing position and the retracted position in conjunction with the position between the opposing rollers.

6. In the printing apparatus described in claim 1 or 2, The printing apparatus is characterized in that the insertion opening is positioned vertically below the pair of rollers.

7. In the printing apparatus described in claim 1 or 2, A printing apparatus characterized in that the height at which the insertion opening is located is 1000 mm or less.

8. In the printing apparatus described in claim 1 or 2, The printing apparatus is characterized in that the first lever is positioned within 22 inches from the center of the printing apparatus in the width direction.

9. In the printing apparatus described in claim 1 or 2, A printing apparatus characterized by being configured to be able to use a medium of 44 inches or more in the width direction.
