Abstract
A tray is used in a printing apparatus that includes a conveying unit configured to convey the tray holding a printing medium, and a printing unit configured to perform printing onto a print surface of the printing medium held by the tray. The tray includes a placement surface on which a printing medium is to be placed, a pressing member that presses the printing medium placed on the placement surface towards a downstream side of an inserting direction of the tray with respect to the printing apparatus, and a regulating portion configured to regulate a movement of the printing medium by abutting the printing medium pressed by the pressing member.
Claims20
A tray configured for use in a printing apparatus that includes a conveying unit configured to convey the tray when the tray holds an optical disc, and includes a printing unit configured to perform printing onto a print surface of the optical disc held by the tray, the tray comprising:
- a placement surface configured to receive the optical disc;
- a pressing member configured to press the optical disc received on the placement surface towards a downstream side in an inserting direction of the tray with respect to the printing apparatus;
- and
- a regulating portion configured to regulate a movement of the optical disc received on the placement surface by abutting the optical disc pressed by the pressing member,
- wherein the regulating portion includes a cover surface configured to cover a part of the print surface of the optical disc.
A tray configured for use in a printing apparatus that includes a conveying unit configured to convey the tray when the tray holds a printing medium, and includes a printing unit configured to perform printing onto a print surface of the printing medium held by the tray, the tray comprising:
- a placement surface configured to be capable of receiving one of a first printing medium and a second printing medium whose shape is different from the first printing medium;
- a pressing member configured to press the printing medium received on the placement surface towards a downstream side in an inserting direction of the tray with respect to the printing apparatus;
- a first regulating portion configured to regulate a movement of the first printing medium by abutting the first printing medium pressed by the pressing member, and
- a second regulating portion differing from the first regulating portion and configured to regulate a movement of the second printing medium by abutting the second printing medium pressed by the pressing member.
A printing apparatus comprising:
- a conveying unit configured to convey a tray when the tray holds an optical disc;
- and
- a printing unit configured to perform printing onto a print surface of the optical disc held by the tray, wherein the tray includes:
- a placement surface configured to receive the optical disc,
- a pressing member configured to press the optical disc received on the placement surface towards a downstream side in an inserting direction of the tray with respect to the printing apparatus, and
- a regulating portion configured to regulate a movement of the optical disc received on the placement surface by abutting the optical disc pressed by the pressing member,
- wherein the regulating portion includes a cover surface configured to cover a part of the print surface of the optical disc.
