RECORDING APPARATUS

摘要

A recording apparatus includes a transport belt including an inner layer and an outer layer containing a hydrophobic material and having a supporting surface on which a recording medium is supported, a charging device for the transport belt, a line head having a nozzle, and at least either a capping unit or a wiping unit in a region opposing the supporting surface of the transport belt. While an ink is ejected onto the recording medium, the distance between the supporting surface and at least either the capping unit or the wiping unit is larger than the distance between the nozzle of the line head and the supporting surface. The charging device electrically charges the outer layer with an AC current with a frequency in the range of 10 Hz to 200 Hz.

1. A recording apparatus comprising:
an endless transport belt including an inner layer and an outer layer having a supporting surface on which a recording medium is supported, the outer layer containing a hydrophobic material; AC charging device that electrically charges the supporting surface of the transport belt at a frequency in the range of 10 Hz to 200 Hz to enable the supporting surface to electrostatically adsorb the recording medium; a line head having a nozzle through which an ink is ejected onto the recording medium transported with being electrostatically adsorbed to the supporting surface; and a member disposed in a region opposing the supporting surface, wherein while the ink is ejected onto the recording medium, the distance between the supporting surface and the member is larger than the distance between the nozzle of the line head and the supporting surface.
