A printer includes a support plane to support a medium, a restrictor to hold, together with the support plane, an end in a second direction of the medium supported by the support plane, a cutter to cut the medium supported by the support plane, and a controller configured or programmed to include a cutout formation controller configured or programmed to perform control such that a plurality of cutouts extending in the second direction are formed in the medium. An end margin is provided in a portion of the medium between the end of the medium and the cutout closest to the end of the medium. Where a region of the medium overlapping the restrictor is an overlapping region, a length in the second direction of the end margin is longer than a length in the second direction from an end of the medium to an innermost position of the overlapping region of the medium.

In a printer including a cutting head, a coupling mechanism includes a magnet, a first support provided on one of a print carriage and a cut carriage and supporting the magnet, and an adsorption body provided on the other of the print carriage and the cut carriage and adsorbable to the magnet. The first support includes a support portion supporting the magnet, an attachment portion attachable to the one of the print carriage and the cut carriage, and a reinforcing portion connected with the support portion and the attachment portion, and is rotatable around a first axial line extending in a first perpendicular direction crossing a main scanning direction perpendicularly, with respect to the one of the print carriage and the cut carriage.

An inkjet printer includes an ink head including a nozzle surface with nozzles, and an attachment portion to enable attachment or detachment of an ink refill container storing ink to be ejected from the nozzles or a washing liquid refill container storing a washing liquid usable to wash the nozzle surface. The attachment portion includes a housing to accommodate the ink refill container or the washing liquid refill container, a connection portion provided inside the housing and connectable with the ink refill container or the washing liquid refill container, and a tray provided in the housing and below the connection portion.

A printer includes a sub-scanning mover to execute a sub-scanning operation to move a placement table from an upstream side toward a downstream side in a sub-scanning direction, a main scanning mover to execute a main scanning operation to move at least one of a head or a light irradiator in a main scanning direction, and a controller configured or programmed to control a normal mode in which the main scanning operation and the sub-scanning operation are alternately executed, the main scanning operation being an operation to emit the light, with a first region of the light irradiator being lit, the first region being located downstream of an upstream end of the nozzle row in the sub-scanning direction, and cause a main scanning operation for irradiation to be executed after completion of a last sub-scanning operation in the normal mode.

A printer includes a head that is movable in a scanning direction and configured to eject a liquid onto a medium, a platen extending in the scanning direction to receive the medium placed at a position facing the head, a support extending in the scanning direction to support the platen, a restraint to restrain the platen with respect to the support while allowing sliding of the platen with respect to the support, and a slider interposed between the platen and the support and located at a different position from the restraint.

A cartridge includes an absorber capable of absorbing waste ink, an enclosure that encloses the absorber, and a casing that stores the absorber enclosed in the enclosure.

A table moving mechanism includes a table, a slide apparatus including a first base and slide rails, and a lift including a vertical mover to raise and lower the first base. The table is moved in a first direction along the slide rails. The vertical mover raises and lowers the first base so as to move the table in an up-down direction. Because the vertical mover does not move in the first direction, the table moving mechanism needs no table carriage to move the vertical mover in the first direction. Consequently, the table moving mechanism is not required to have a dual-box shape necessary for conventional table moving mechanisms.

A printer includes a conveyor to convey a medium placed on a table, an ink head including a first nozzle group to discharge a first ultraviolet curable ink and a second nozzle group to discharge a second ultraviolet curable ink before or after the first ultraviolet curable ink is discharged, and mounted on a carriage, an ultraviolet irradiator on the carriage to irradiate the ultraviolet curable inks discharged onto the medium with ultraviolet light, and an attachment structure including fixing portions to fix the ultraviolet irradiator. A position of the ultraviolet irradiator with respect to the carriage is changeable by selecting one of the fixing portions depending on whether a conveying direction of the table is unidirectional or bidirectional.
