Abstract
A printing apparatus which prints onto a recording medium by causing a print head to move in a main scanning direction includes a flexible cable through which, together with an arc-shaped loop, a signal is transmitted from a control substrate to the print head, a supporting member which is provided at a position which supports a portion of the flexible cable from the print head to the loop, and an insulating film which is provided between the supporting member and the flexible cable.
Claims4
A printing apparatus which prints onto a recording medium by causing a print head which performs printing to move in a main scanning direction, and causing the recording medium to move in a sub-scanning direction relative to the print head, comprising:
- a flexible cable in which at least a portion of a flat surface thereof faces a recording surface of the recording medium, and through which a signal is transmitted from a control substrate to the print head via a plurality of conductors;
- a supporting member which is provided so as to support the flat surface of the flexible cable;
- and
- a first insulating member which is provided between the supporting member and the flexible cable.
