## Abstract

A liquid discharging apparatus includes: a head which discharges liquid on a medium; a transportation section which transports the medium in a transportation direction; a creasing section which performs creasing on the medium; and a clamping section which clamps the medium between the head and the creasing section in the transportation direction.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A liquid discharging apparatus comprising:
a head which discharges liquid on a medium;
a transportation section which transports the medium in a transportation direction;
a creasing section which performs creasing on the medium; and
a clamping section which clamps the medium between the head and the creasing section in the transportation direction.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The liquid discharging apparatus according to claim 1,
wherein the clamping section is one set of roller pair capable of controlling rotation and stop thereof.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The liquid discharging apparatus according to claim 1,
wherein the clamping section limits the moving of the medium in the transportation direction when the creasing section performs the creasing on the medium.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The liquid discharging apparatus according to claim 1,
wherein the clamping section includes another clamping section which is provided on the downstream side of the head in the transportation direction and clamps the medium on the downstream side of the creasing section.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The liquid discharging apparatus according to claim 1,
wherein the medium is continuously supplied from a roll body; and
wherein a cutting section which cuts the medium is provided on the downstream side of the clamping section.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The liquid discharging apparatus according to claim 1,
wherein the creasing section includes
a convex-shaped member which linearly pushes the medium; and
a receiving member which receives the convex-shaped member.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The liquid discharging apparatus according to claim 6,
wherein the convex-shaped member is a dot impact head which hits the medium while moving in a direction intersecting the transportation direction.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The liquid discharging apparatus according to claim 1,
wherein the creasing section and the cutting section are provided in the same position in the transportation direction.
