Abstract
Provided is a recording device that includes a recording head that ejects a liquid, a discharge unit that discharges a recorded recording medium, a discharge tray that receives a discharged recording medium, a first blowing unit that is disposed above the discharge unit and blows air toward one surface of the recording medium to be discharged to the discharge tray, and a second blowing unit that is disposed between the discharge unit and the discharge tray and blows air toward the other surface of the recording medium to be discharged to the discharge tray, and a control unit that controls the first blowing unit and the second blowing unit, in which deformation of the recording medium to be discharged is suppressed by the wind of the first blowing unit and the second blowing unit and the recording medium is discharged.
Claims17
A recording device comprising:
- a recording head that records by ejecting a liquid onto a recording medium;
- a discharge unit that discharges the recording medium recorded by the recording head;
- a discharge tray that receives, from a lower side in a vertical direction, the recording medium discharged from the discharge unit in a discharge direction;
- a first blowing unit that is disposed above the discharge unit in the vertical direction and blows air, from upstream toward downstream in the discharge direction, to one surface of the recording medium to be discharged to the discharge tray;
- a second blowing unit that is disposed between the discharge unit and the discharge tray in the vertical direction, the second blowing unit having a discharge unit side that is a side closest to the discharge unit and a discharge tray side that is a side closest to the discharge tray, the second blowing unit blowing air toward the discharge unit side in an upward direction, from upstream toward downstream in the discharge direction, to the other surface of the recording medium to be discharged to the discharge tray;
- and
- a control unit that controls the first blowing unit and the second blowing unit, wherein
- deformation of the recording medium to be discharged is suppressed by wind of the first blowing unit and the second blowing unit and the recording medium is discharged, and
- wherein the air blowing directions of the first blowing unit and the second blowing unit are changeable, and the control unit causes the first blowing unit and the second blowing unit to blow air to the recording medium in a state of being discharged to the discharge tray, toward a downstream end portion in the discharge direction and side end portion in the width direction that intersects with the discharge direction.
