发明名称 Recording apparatus
摘要 A printer includes a medium storage section that stores a medium; a recording transport path that is a transport path transporting the medium that is fed from the medium storage section and extends on an upstream side and a downstream side of an ink jet recording head; a switchback path that transports a recording sheet in a reverse direction of a transporting direction by switching back the recording sheet after transporting the recording sheet that has passed through the recording transport path and bends the recording sheet by making a first surface facing the ink jet recording head be an inside of the recording sheet; and an invert path that inverts the switchback recording sheet by bypassing the recording sheet on an upper side of the ink jet recording head and makes the medium be confluent with the recording transport path at a position on an upstream side of the ink jet recording head. A second transport path is formed along a fourth transport path.

主权项 1. A recording apparatus comprising: a medium storage section that stores a medium; a first transport path that transports the medium that is fed from the medium storage section, passes through a recording section performing recording on the medium, and extends on an upstream side and a downstream side of the recording section; a second transport path that is connected to the first transport path and transports the medium in a reverse direction of a transporting direction by switching back the medium after transporting the medium that has passed through the recording section; a third transport path that is connected to the second transport path, inverts the medium that is transported in the reverse direction, and makes the medium be confluent with the first transport path at a position on the upstream side of the recording section, wherein the third transport path goes around an upper end of the recording section; and a fourth transport path that is connected to the first transport path, bends the medium that has passed through the recording section, and discharges the medium by inverting the medium, wherein the second transport path includes a curved path, the second transport path transporting the medium in a state where a first surface of the medium that has been recorded on by a recording head configuring the recording section faces to a curving direction of the curved path during at least a portion of the time the medium is being transported on the second transport path, and the second transport path is formed on a curved inside of the fourth transport path.
