## Abstract

A recording device 1 includes a recording section 50 configured to perform recording on a medium 2 while making reciprocal movement in a width direction, which intersects a transport direction F of the medium 2, a first control board 3 configured to control an operation of the recording section 50, a second control board 4 that is disposed between the first control board 3 and the recording section 50 and that is configured to relay a signal from the first control board 3, and a wiring section 7 that is configured to electrically connect the recording section 50 and the second control board 4 and that includes a U-shape portion T where posture is changed in accordance with the movement of the recording section 50 and a no displacement portion 8 where posture does not change in accordance with the movement of the recording section 50, wherein the second control board 4 is disposed in the no displacement portion 8.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A recording device comprising:
a recording section configured to perform recording on a medium while making reciprocal movement in a width direction, which intersects a transport direction of the medium;
a first control board configured to control an operation of the recording section;
a second control board that is disposed between the first control board and the recording section and that is configured to relay a signal from the first control board; and
a wiring section that is configured to electrically connect the recording section and the second control board and that includes a displacement portion whose posture changes in accordance with the movement of the recording section and a no displacement portion whose posture does not change in accordance with movement of the recording section, wherein
the second control board is disposed at the no displacement portion.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The recording device according to claim 1, further comprising:
a heating section configured to heat the medium on which recording was performed by the recording section and
a duct that communicates with outside air, that includes a fan, and that is positioned above the heating section, wherein
the second control board is disposed inside the duct and the air sent by the fan is discharged downward.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The recording device according to claim 1, wherein
the second control board is disposed at the center of a range in which the recording section moves reciprocally.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The recording device according to claim 1, further comprising:
an ink tube that is connected to the recording section and that is configured to supply ink to the recording section, wherein
the ink tube
is fixed at the no displacement portion and
changes posture together with the wiring section in accordance with the movement of the recording section at a portion between the no displacement portion and the recording section.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The recording device according to claim 1, further comprising:
a heat insulating material disposed between the second control board and the heating section.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The recording device according to claim 1, wherein
the second control board is disposed on a front surface side of the recording device.
