Recording apparatus

摘要

A recording apparatus includes a recording unit that performs recording on a recording surface of a recording medium, a discharge section that discharges the recording medium, and a first bending member that is in contact with the recording medium which passes through the recording unit in the transport path and is transported toward the discharge section to bend the recording medium, in which the first bending member bends the recording medium in such a manner that the recording surface is directed inside by displacing both side portions of the recording medium in a width direction with respect to a central portion of the recording medium in the width direction of the recording medium at a position on a further upstream side in a direction of the transport than a contact position of the discharge section where a feeding force is applied to the recording medium.

主权项

1. A recording apparatus comprising:
a recording unit that has a head which ejects ink on a recording surface of a recording medium to perform recording; a reversing transport path which reverses the recording medium which is transported from the recording unit; a discharge section that discharges the recording medium which is transported from the reversing transport path; and a discharge roller that is positioned in a central portion of the discharge section in the width direction of the recording medium which is transported, and a first deformation member that is in contact with the recording medium at an upstream side in the transport direction with respect to the discharge roller and at both outer side positions in the width direction with respect to the contact position of the discharge roller, and a second deformation member that is in contact with the recording medium at an upstream side in the transport direction of the recording medium with respect to a position of the first deformation member in contact with the recording medium and at both outer side positions in the width direction with respect to the contact position of the first deformation member, and wherein the first deformation member and the second deformation member bend the recording medium in such a manner that the recording surface is directed inside by displacing both side portions of the recording medium in the width direction of the recording medium, and wherein the recording medium abuts against the second deformation member in a first-stage bending of the recording medium at the upstream side in the transport direction, the recording medium then abuts against the first deformation member in a second-stage bending of the recording medium at the downstream side of the second deformation member in the transport direction, and wherein an amount of the second-stage bending is larger than an amount of the first-stage bending.
