发明名称 Liquid discharge apparatus
摘要 The liquid discharge apparatus includes a support member supporting a medium while rotating, a head facing the support member and discharging a liquid, a conveyance part conveying a medium between the support member and the head, and a foreign matter detection unit detecting a foreign matter heading toward between the support member and the head in association with the conveyance of the medium. The foreign matter detection unit has a movable roller that faces the support member upstream relative to the head in a conveyance direction of the medium, and nips the medium between the support member and the movable roller, a rotational support member rotatably supporting the movable roller to allow inclination of the movable roller relative to a rotational axis direction, which is a center of rotation of the support member, and a retention member movably retaining the rotational support member in a direction toward the support member.
