PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To maintain high conveying accuracy and prevent image degradation by providing a paper carrier roller in an opening part for sucking paper. SOLUTION: Suction is started from the state of (a), and imagerecorded recording paper 3 is sucked to the platen member 8 side (b). The recording paper 3 is further sucked to adhere closely to the platen member 8 (c). At this time, the recording paper 3 also adheres closely to a suction carrier roller 22, and adherent force of an arrow mark (f) works. Accordingly, when the suction carrier roller 22 is rotated in this state, the recording paper 3 overcomes resistance during suction and is conveyed by the suction carrier roller 22. The suction force of the recording paper 3 is thus changed into conveying force of the suction carrier roller 22, so that conveying force is heightened in proportion to suction force even in the case of holding the recording paper 3 flat on the platen member 8. The recording paper can therefore be conveyed always with high accuracy, and high quality image recording can be performed without showing light and shade or the like by the contact of the recording paper 3 with a recording head 1.
