- the stop time is the rotation period of the spiral brush 21 or greater so that the spiral brush 21 rotates one revolution or greater in the stop time.
- control section 14 of the embodiment can perform a control such that the stop time is increased by controlling the belt motor 29 as a control in which the stop time in the intermittent drive is the rotation period of the spiral brush 21 or greater.
- a recording operation is performed by the recording head 9 in the stop of the transport belt 3 in the intermittent drive and movement is started in the intermittent drive when completing the recording operation as a trigger.

For example, if the width (printing width) of the recording medium M in the direction B is narrow and the like, the recording operation is completed in a short time, thus, the stop time of the intermittent drive becomes short. Accordingly, in such a case, it is possible to control the stop time such that the stop time in the intermittent drive is the rotation period of the spiral brush 21 or greater by controlling (increasing) a time from the completion of the printing operation to start of the movement of the intermittent drive.
- the stop time in the intermittent drive is the rotation period of the spiral brush 21 or greater without increasing a rotation speed of the spiral brush 21.

- the stop time in the intermittent drive is the rotation period of the spiral brush 21 or greater without increasing the stop time.
- the recording apparatus 1 of the embodiment includes the recording section capable of ejecting the ink onto the recording medium M transported by the transport belt 3.
- the control section 14 of the embodiment can select the control in which the stop time is increased and the control in which the rotation period is shortened by increasing the rotation speed of the spiral brush 21 depending on a type of the ink. Specifically, for example, if the ink is an easily foaming ink containing a large amount of surfactant and the like, the generation of the foams is suppressed by increasing the stop time and if the ink is a hardly foaming ink, it is possible to suppress a decrease of the recording speed due to the increase of the rotation speed of the spiral brush 21.
