Recording apparatus

摘要

A support member includes first portions. At least one of upstream and downstream guides includes second portions. The first and second portions are arranged in an orthogonal direction orthogonal to a conveyance direction. Each of the first and second portions extends in the conveyance direction and includes a support surface for supporting the recording medium. At least one of the first portions is positioned between two second portions of the second portions in the orthogonal direction. The two second portions are adjacent to each other in the orthogonal direction. Each of the first portions is at a different position from each of the second portions with respect to the orthogonal direction. Each of the first portions overlaps the second portions with respect to the conveyance direction.

1. A recording apparatus, comprising:
a head including an ejection surface on which a plurality of ejection openings for ejecting liquid are formed; a conveyor configured to convey a recording medium toward a space which opposes the ejection surface; a support member configured to support the recording medium in the space; a moving mechanism configured to move the support member in a conveyance direction in which the recording medium is conveyed by the conveyor to cause the support member to take an opposing position at which the support member opposes the ejection surface and a retracting position at which the support member does not oppose the ejection surface; an upstream guide positioned upstream of the head in the conveyance direction and configured to support the recording medium; and a downstream guide positioned downstream of the head in the conveyance direction and configured to support the recording medium; wherein:
the support member includes a plurality of first portions arranged in an orthogonal direction which is orthogonal to the conveyance direction, each of the first portions extending in the conveyance direction and including a support surface for supporting the recording medium;at least one of the upstream and downstream guides includes a plurality of second portions arranged in the orthogonal direction, each of the second portions extending in the conveyance direction and including a support surface for supporting the recording medium;at least two of the first portions are positioned between adjacent two second portions of the second portions, the two adjacent second portions being adjacent to each other in the orthogonal direction;each of the first portions is at a different position from each of the second portions with respect to the orthogonal direction;each of the first portions overlaps the second portions with respect to the conveyance direction; andwith respect to the orthogonal direction, a distance between one of the first portions and one of the second portions adjacent to each other is smaller than a half of a distance between the two adjacent second portions.
