In a recording apparatus for stably conveying a recording medium to a recording portion by a convey belt, the recording medium (not shown) is passed through a nip of a pair of separation supply rollers 204, 205-1 and enters into a nip between a convey belt 301 and a driven roller 302-1. Thereafter, the recording medium is conveyed by the convey belt 301 while being held down by spur wheels 303 to 307 and is passed through a recording portion including various color recording heads 400B, 400C, 400M and 400Y. When a tip end of the recording medium is detected by a recording medium detect sensor 314, the supply roller 205-1 is disengaged from the separation roller 204, so that the convey belt 301 is not subjected to the influence of the pair of separation supply rollers 204, 205-1 via the recording medium. Further, when a trail end of the recording medium is detected by a recording medium detect sensor 216, the driven roller 302-1 is disengaged from the convey belt 301, so that the recording medium is not subjected to conveyance resistance from the driven roller 302-1. <IMAGE> |
