Ink-jet recording apparatus

摘要

There is described an ink-jet recording apparatus. In a platen (3), first holes (11) are formed in the positions of the surface of the platen (3) opposite downstream portions of dot formation element arrays (2). When data are recorded on a recording medium (4) without leaving a margin on the top end (7) of the recording medium (4), the ink squirted from the dot formation element arrays (2) outside the top end (7) is guided to the first holes (11). Second holes (13) are formed in the positions of the surface of the platen (3) opposite upstream portions of the respective dot formation element arrays (2). When data are recorded on the recording medium (4) without leaving a margin on the bottom end (14) of the recording medium (4), the ink squirted from the dot formation element arrays (2) of respective colors outside the bottom end (14) is guided to the second holes (13). <IMAGE>
