CURL CORRECTING METHOD FOR CORRECTING THE CURL OF THE LEADING END OF A SHEET WITHOUT REDUCTION OF SHEET TRANSFER PERFORMANCE AND A RECORDING APPARATUS

摘要

PURPOSE: A method of correcting the curl of a sheet and a recording apparatus are provided to properly manage the distance between a recording head and a recording medium and smoothly transfer recording media with a pair of transfer rollers. CONSTITUTION: A method of correcting the curl of a sheet is as follows. A sheet is transferred in a specific transfer direction so that the leading end of the sheet is located in a position between a decurl roller(9) and a decurl pinch roller(11) which are separate from each other. The decurl roller is located close to or pressed against the decurl roller to curl the leading end of the sheet. The sheet is transferred in the opposite direction so that the leading end of the sheet is drawn out from the position between the decurl roller and the decurl pinch roller. The sheet is transferred in the transfer direction.
