Ink-jet recording apparatus with print head gap and pressing force adjustment

摘要

An ink jet recording apparatus includes a paper gap switching portion (200A) for switching paper gaps by moving a recording head (100), a pressing-force adjustment portion (200B) for applying a pressure to a following roller or release the pressure from the following roller (202) so as to adjust a pressing force applied to a recording medium, and an operation member (200G) for operating in series two series of driving operations including a driving operation for the paper gap switching portion and a driving operation for the pressing-force adjustment portion. Thus, the switching of the paper gaps and the adjustment of the pressing force can be performed only by operating the operation member (200G), and therefore they can be smoothly performed without fail, improving user's operability. Also, the adjustments of the recording head and the following roller can be performed simply and uniquely.
