The present application is based on, and claims priority from JP Application Serial Number 2019-172659, filed Sep. 24, 2019, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.

BACKGROUND

1. Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to a recording apparatus.

2. Related Art

Liquid discharge apparatuses (recording apparatuses) with a refillable ink (liquid) tank and a recording head for discharging the liquid supplied from the ink tank via nozzles to form an image on a medium are known, for example, in JP-A-2019-48479. The recording apparatus described in JP-A-2019-48479 includes a recording section for recording an image on a medium, a transport roller section for feeding the medium toward the recording section, a discharging roller section for discharging the image-recorded medium from the recording section, an ink tank that stores a liquid that is supplied to a recording head, an optical sensor for detecting a remaining amount of the liquid in the ink tank, and a display section for displaying various kinds of information. When the level of the liquid in the ink tank becomes low, the user is prompted to refill the ink tank with the liquid, and the user refills the ink tank with the liquid.

In the recording apparatus described in JP-A-2019-48479, however, the ink tank that stores the liquid to be supplied to the recording head is apart from the display section for displaying various kinds of information. Accordingly, for example, it may be difficult for the user to refill the ink tank with the liquid while referring to the information displayed on the display section, and the user may improperly perform the ink refilling operation to the ink tank.

SUMMARY

According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a recording apparatus includes a carriage configured to move in a width direction intersecting a medium transport direction, a recording head mounted on the carriage, a liquid storage section configured to store a liquid to be supplied to the recording head, the liquid storage section including an injection port configured to receive the liquid from a refill container and a liquid-level visual-check section through which a liquid level of the liquid is visually checked, and a display section configured to provide operation guidance, in which the liquid-level visual-check section and the display section are disposed on an apparatus front surface side, and the display section is disposed above the liquid-level visual-check section.

The recording apparatus may further include a storage case accommodating the liquid storage section, in which the storage case has an opening through which the liquid-level visual-check section is visually checked, and a front surface of the storage case having the opening and a surface of the display section are flush with each other.

In the recording apparatus according, the liquid-level visual-check section and the display section may be disposed in one end portion of the apparatus front surface in the width direction.

The recording apparatus may further include a discharge section configured to discharge the medium, in which the liquid-level visual-check section and the discharge section are adjacent to each other in the width direction.

The recording apparatus may further include a sheet feed tray configured to feed the medium, in which the liquid-level visual-check section and the sheet feed tray are adjacent to each other in the width direction.

In the recording apparatus, the color of the liquid-level visual-check section and the color of a casing in the display section may be the same dark color.

In the recording apparatus, the liquid-level visual-check section and the display section may protrude from the apparatus front surface in a direction intersecting the width direction.

In the recording apparatus, when viewed in the direction intersecting the transport direction and the width direction, a part of the display section may overlap at least one of the discharge section and the sheet feed tray.

In the recording apparatus, the display section may be configured to be tilted.

The recording apparatus may further include a front door disposed on the apparatus front surface side in the width direction with respect to the liquid-level visual-check section, in which when the apparatus front surface is viewed from the front side, an edge of the front door and front surfaces of the display section and the storage case are disposed in the same line.

The recording apparatus may further include a scanner section turnably attached to the apparatus body, in which the display section is attached to an end of the scanner section, and is configured to be turned together with the scanner section.

In the recording apparatus, the liquid supplied to the recording head may be suppled from the liquid storage section through a tube.
