In a printer in which an inkjet head is mounted in a carriage, which is movable in a direction intersecting with a conveyance direction of a recording medium, and ink is ejected from the inkjet head to record an image onto the recording medium, there has been a problem in that the recording medium is charged due to friction and separation at the time of conveyance of the recording medium, and ink mist is attracted to a portion charged to have an unexpected pattern to be recorded. In view of this problem, static electricity generated on the recording medium is removed by providing the carriage with an ionizer for generating a positive ion and an ionizer for generating a negative ion and generating the ions at the time of scanning of the carriage. The static electricity can be removed efficiently by arranging on the carriage the ionizers for generating the ions of both polarities, namely, the positive ions and the negative ions. |
