RECORDING APPARATUS AND RECORDING METHOD

摘要

Provided is a recording apparatus including a transporting unit capable of transporting a medium, a detecting unit capable of detecting a transport direction in which the medium is transported by the transporting unit, a recording unit capable of performing recording on the medium transported by the transporting unit, and a member capable of coming into contact with and separating from a side of the medium opposite to a recording side on which recording is performed by the recording unit and coming into contact with at least a part of the opposite side of the medium to prevent skewing of the transported medium when the medium is transported by the transporting unit.

主权项

1. A recording apparatus comprising:
a transporting unit that is capable of transporting a medium; a detecting unit that is capable of detecting a transport direction in which the medium is transported by the transporting unit; a recording unit that is capable of performing recording on the medium transported by the transporting unit; a frictional force exerting unit that is capable of coming into contact with and separating from a side of the medium opposite to a recording side on which recording is performed by the recording unit and is capable of coming into contact with at least a part of the opposite side of the medium to exert frictional force on the medium when the medium is transported by the transporting unit; and a control unit that controls the contact of the frictional force exerting unit with the medium on the basis of a detection result from the detecting unit.
