Image Recording Apparatus

摘要

An image recording apparatus includes a recording section which is provided over a transport passage for transporting a sheet in a transport direction and which has nozzles for discharging an ink onto the sheet; a platen which is provided under the recording section with the transport passage intervening therebetween and which has a plurality of ribs provided to support the sheet while being separated from each other in a widthwise direction of the transport passage perpendicular to the transport direction, the respective ribs protruding upwardly and extending in the transport direction; and a plurality of holding members which are provided to be positioned between the plurality of ribs in the widthwise direction of the transport passage over the platen on an upstream side in the transport direction from the nozzles and which abut against an upper surface of the sheet and press the sheet toward the platen.

1. An image recording apparatus comprising:
a roller pair configured to nip a sheet therebetween and transport the sheet in a transport direction; a recording section provided downstream of a nip point of the roller pair in the transport direction and including nozzles that discharge ink to an upper surface of the sheet; a platen provided below the recording section and configured to support the sheet; and a sheet contact unit configured to contact the upper surface of the sheet, wherein the sheet contact unit includes a first sheet contact surface and a second sheet contact surface that is located at a different area with respect to the first sheet contact surface in a width direction perpendicular to the transport direction, wherein a downstream end of the first sheet contact surface and a downstream end of the second sheet contact surface in the transport direction are positioned at a space between the recording section and the platen, and wherein the downstream end of the first sheet contact surface is positioned at upstream of the downstream end of the second sheet contact surface in the transport direction.
