Recording apparatus

摘要

A recording apparatus capable of securing the positional precision and flatness of a recording medium for the execution of high quality recording with the provision of the air passages which can adsorb the recording medium efficiently to the platen even if the recording medium is curled so as not to allow the adsorbing power to be reduced even when the opening of the platen is covered only partly by the recording medium. The recording apparatus has a plurality of air passages communicating an opening portion arranged on a guiding surface of the platen and an opening portion arranged on a common negative pressure chamber, the sectional area of the former opening portion being smaller than the sectional area of the latter opening porting for each of the air passages.
