Abstract:
A simple configuration enables easily changing the open or closed state of multiple suction holes while assuring suction. A shutter drum rotates centered on an axis of rotation extending on a transverse axis, and a suction fan that produces negative pressure inside the shutter drum. When one suction hole on the transverse axis is a first suction hole, and another suction hole adjacent on the transverse axis to the first suction hole is a second suction hole, a first communication path including a suction chamber and through-hole communicates with the first suction hole, and a second communication path including a suction chamber and through-hole communicates with the second suction hole. The shutter drum functions as a shutter that, by rotating, selectively changes the open or closed state of the first and second communication paths.

Claim (Index 8):
The printer described in  claim 7 , wherein:\n the first communication path and second communication path are adjacent communication paths; the shutter drum moves without contacting the vacuum platen; the shutter drum is separated from dividers that separate the first communication path and second communication path; and the cross-sectional area of the gap between the shutter drum and the divider when seen in section along the first communication path is less than the open area of the communication path.
