Patent ID: 8683904

Claim:
A target transportation device comprising: a printing portion; a first transportation portion which is capable of applying a transportation force toward a downstream side from an upstream side of a transportation path to a long rolled target while nipping the target; a second transportation portion which is provided on the transportation path at a position at the downstream side with respect to the first transportation portion in a transportation direction and is capable of applying a transportation force toward the downstream side from the upstream side of the transportation path to the target while nipping the target; and a cutting member which is provided on the transportation path at a position between the first transportation portion and the second transportation portion and is capable of cutting the target in a state of being nipped on each of the transportation portions in the width direction perpendicular to the transportation direction of the target, wherein the second transportation portion is configured so as to be capable of changing a nipping position of the target in the transportation direction of the target, and wherein the first transportation portion and the second transportation portion are configured to nip the target to suppress the target from winding in the width direction when the cutting member is cutting the target, and wherein the first transportation portion and the second transportation portion are downstream of the printing portion in the transportation direction.
