The present invention aims to prevent the conveying accuracy of the recording sheet from being worsened. A recording apparatus comprises a recording portion, a convey means, and a discharge means. It further comprises an urging means for urging the pinch roller against the recording sheet, an urging force controlling means for controlling an urging force of the urging means, and a detecting means for detecting the fact that a trail end of the recording sheet is conveyed up to a predetermined position disposed upstream of a position where the trail end of the recording sheet leaves the pinch roller. The urging force controlling means reduces or releases the urging force of said urging means on the basis of a detection result from the detecting means, thereby eliminating the force of the pinch roller acting on the trail end of the recording sheet.
