特開２０１０−２５５１３３号公報JP 2010-255133 A 特開２０１０−２６４５９６号公報JP 2010-264596 A

被記録媒体には様々な種類があり、被記録媒体に力が加わった場合に破損しやすいものがある。また、繊維状の材料を有する被記録媒体においては、端部が毛羽立っていることがある。このような端部が毛羽立っている被記録媒体に記録を行う場合、毛羽と記録ヘッドとが干渉してインクの吐出不良を生じさせることがある。
しかしながら、特許文献１に開示される記録装置は、このような被記録媒体の端部の毛羽の影響を抑制する構成にはなっていない。また、特許文献２に開示される記録装置は、毛羽と記録ヘッドとの干渉を抑制できる場合があるかもしれないが、被記録媒体に押さえ部材からの摩擦力が加わりやすい構成となっているため、使用する被記録媒体によってはこれを破損させてしまうことが考えられる。
このように、従来の記録装置は、被記録媒体に記録をする際において、該被記録媒体の端部の毛羽の影響を抑制することが不十分であった。 There are various types of recording media, and some are easily damaged when force is applied to the recording media. Further, in a recording medium having a fibrous material, the end may be fuzzy. When recording is performed on such a recording medium with fluffed ends, the fluff and the recording head may interfere with each other and cause ink ejection failure.
However, the recording apparatus disclosed in Patent Document 1 is not configured to suppress the influence of the fluff at the end of such a recording medium. Further, the recording apparatus disclosed in Patent Document 2 may be able to suppress the interference between the fluff and the recording head, but has a configuration in which a frictional force from the pressing member is easily applied to the recording medium. Depending on the recording medium to be used, this may be damaged.
As described above, the conventional recording apparatus is insufficient to suppress the influence of the fluff at the end of the recording medium when recording on the recording medium.

そこで、本発明の目的は、被記録媒体に記録をする際において、該被記録媒体の端部の毛羽の影響を抑制することである。   Therefore, an object of the present invention is to suppress the influence of fluff at the end of the recording medium when recording on the recording medium.

上記課題を解決するための本発明の第１の態様の記録装置は、被記録媒体を粘着剤が付着された支持面で支持して搬送可能な粘着性ベルトと、前記支持面に支持された前記被記録媒体にインクを吐出して記録可能な記録ヘッドと、を備え、前記粘着性ベルトは、前記支持面に、前記被記録媒体の搬送方向と交差する交差方向の該被記録媒体の端部を押さえる押さえ部を有することを特徴とする。   The recording apparatus according to the first aspect of the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problem is supported by an adhesive belt capable of supporting and transporting a recording medium on a support surface to which an adhesive is attached, and supported on the support surface. A recording head capable of recording by ejecting ink onto the recording medium, and the adhesive belt has an end of the recording medium in a cross direction intersecting a transport direction of the recording medium on the support surface. It has the holding part which presses a part, It is characterized by the above-mentioned.

ここで、「粘着性ベルト」とは、被記録媒体の支持面に該被記録媒体を剥離可能に接着して保持する粘着剤が付着されたベルトを意味する。
本態様によれば、前記粘着性ベルトの前記支持面に前記押さえ部を有する。すなわち、前記粘着性ベルトの移動に伴って前記押さえ部も移動するので、被記録媒体の端部を押さえた際に被記録媒体に力が加わりすぎることを抑制できる。このため、被記録媒体を破損させてしまうことなく、被記録媒体の端部の毛羽の影響を抑制することが可能になる。 Here, the “adhesive belt” means a belt having an adhesive that adheres and holds the recording medium to the support surface of the recording medium in a peelable manner.
According to this aspect, the pressing portion is provided on the support surface of the adhesive belt. That is, since the pressing portion moves with the movement of the adhesive belt, it is possible to suppress an excessive force being applied to the recording medium when the end portion of the recording medium is pressed. For this reason, it becomes possible to suppress the influence of the fluff at the end of the recording medium without damaging the recording medium.

本発明の第２の態様の記録装置は、前記第１の態様において、前記押さえ部は、前記記録ヘッドから吐出されるインクを受けるインク受け機能を有し、該記録装置は、前記支持面及び前記押さえ部を洗浄する前記粘着性ベルトの洗浄部を備えることを特徴とする。   The recording apparatus according to a second aspect of the present invention is the recording apparatus according to the first aspect, wherein the pressing portion has an ink receiving function for receiving ink ejected from the recording head. A cleaning unit for the adhesive belt that cleans the pressing unit is provided.

ここで、「インク受け機能」とは、記録ヘッドからインクをフラッシングさせる際や被記録媒体の端部の方まで記録する際などに記録ヘッドから吐出されたインクを保持可能であることを意味する。
本態様によれば、前記押さえ部はインク受け部としての機能を兼ねるので、別途新たな構成部材を設けることなく、記録ヘッドからインクをフラッシングさせる際や被記録媒体の端部の方まで記録する際などに、ここにインクを吐出させることができる。また、インク受け部が、記録可能領域に近接していることから、生産性向上が可能となる。
なお、前記洗浄部は前記支持面とともに前記押さえ部を洗浄可能であり、前記押さえ部に付着したインクを洗浄することができる。 Here, the “ink receiving function” means that the ink ejected from the recording head can be held when the ink is flushed from the recording head or when recording is performed to the end of the recording medium. .
According to this aspect, since the pressing portion also functions as an ink receiving portion, recording is performed from the recording head to the end of the recording medium when ink is flushed without providing a separate new component. The ink can be ejected here, for example. In addition, since the ink receiving portion is close to the recordable area, productivity can be improved.
In addition, the said washing | cleaning part can wash | clean the said press part with the said support surface, and can wash the ink adhering to the said press part.

本発明の第３の態様の記録装置は、前記第１又は第２の態様において、前記記録ヘッドは、前記交差方向に往復移動可能なキャリッジに搭載されて往復走査することにより前記被記録媒体に記録可能であり、前記キャリッジにはセンサーが設けられ、前記センサーは、前記記録ヘッドによる前記被記録媒体の前記交差方向における記録可能領域の端部を前記押さえ部を検出することにより検出可能であることを特徴とする。   The recording apparatus according to a third aspect of the present invention is the recording apparatus according to the first or second aspect, wherein the recording head is mounted on the carriage that can reciprocate in the intersecting direction and reciprocally scans the recording medium. Recording is possible, and the carriage is provided with a sensor, and the sensor can detect the end of the recordable area in the intersecting direction of the recording medium by the recording head by detecting the pressing portion. It is characterized by that.

本態様によれば、前記押さえ部は、前記交差方向における記録可能領域を前記センサーで検出する際の検出部を兼ねる。このため、別途新たな構成部材を設けることなく、前記交差方向における記録可能領域を検出することが可能であり、前記押さえ部の領域にまたがって記録を行うことで被記録媒体の余白の無駄が削減できる。   According to this aspect, the pressing unit also serves as a detection unit when detecting the recordable area in the intersecting direction by the sensor. For this reason, it is possible to detect the recordable area in the intersecting direction without providing a separate new component member, and by performing recording across the area of the pressing portion, the margin of the recording medium is wasted. Can be reduced.

本発明の第４の態様の記録装置は、前記第１から第３のいずれか１つの態様において、前記記録ヘッドは、前記交差方向に往復移動可能なキャリッジに搭載されて往復走査することにより前記被記録媒体に記録可能であり、前記押さえ部は前記搬送方向に沿って並べられる複数の板状部材により構成され、前記板状部材の前記搬送方向の長さは、前記記録ヘッドの１回の往復移動で記録可能な前記搬送方向の長さよりも長いことを特徴とする。   The recording apparatus according to a fourth aspect of the present invention is the recording apparatus according to any one of the first to third aspects, wherein the recording head is mounted on a carriage that can reciprocate in the intersecting direction and reciprocally scans. It is possible to record on a recording medium, and the pressing portion is composed of a plurality of plate-like members arranged along the carrying direction, and the length of the plate-like member in the carrying direction is one time of the recording head. It is longer than the length in the conveyance direction that can be recorded by reciprocal movement.

本態様によれば、前記押さえ部を構成する前記板状部材の前記搬送方向の長さは、前記記録ヘッドの１回の往復移動で記録可能な前記搬送方向の長さよりも長い。このため、前記板状部材の継ぎ目に前記記録ヘッドからインクを吐出し、該継ぎ目からインクが被記録媒体に流れるということを抑制することが可能になる。   According to this aspect, the length in the conveyance direction of the plate-like member constituting the pressing portion is longer than the length in the conveyance direction that can be recorded by one reciprocation of the recording head. For this reason, it is possible to prevent ink from being ejected from the recording head at the joint of the plate-like member and flowing from the joint to the recording medium.

本発明の第５の態様の記録装置は、前記第１から第４のいずれか１つの態様において、前記押さえ部は前記搬送方向に沿って並べられる複数の板状部材により構成され、前記板状部材は可撓性を有する材料を用いて構成されることを特徴とする。   The recording apparatus according to a fifth aspect of the present invention is the recording apparatus according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, wherein the pressing portion is configured by a plurality of plate-like members arranged along the conveyance direction, The member is formed using a flexible material.

本態様によれば、前記板状部材は可撓性を有する材料を用いて構成されるので、前記板状部材を簡単に構成できるうえ、該板状部材を損傷させることなく前記粘着性ベルトを湾曲させて移動させることができる。可撓性材料としては、ＡＢＳ樹脂、ポリカーボネート（ＰＣ）、メタクリル樹脂、ポリエチレンテレフタレート（ＰＥＴ）などのプラスチック材料が挙げられる。これら可撓性材料は、帯電防止剤を含有していることが望ましく、これにより毛羽等が静電気力により飛散することを防止できる。また、板状部材上でのインクの静的接触角が４０°以上あることで、記録やフラッシングの際に吐出されたインクが濡れ拡がりにくく、被記録媒体や粘着性ベルトを汚さずにインクを保持可能であるとともに、粘着性ベルトの洗浄部で容易にインクを洗浄できる。板状部材の色調としては、フラッシングの際に吐出されたインクが視認しやすい色調（例えば白色）が望ましい。洗浄部による板状部材の洗浄状態が確認しやすいほか、フラッシング状態を確認することで、記録ヘッドのノズルからのインク吐出状態が確認できる。   According to this aspect, since the plate-like member is configured using a flexible material, the plate-like member can be easily configured, and the adhesive belt can be used without damaging the plate-like member. It can be curved and moved. Examples of the flexible material include plastic materials such as ABS resin, polycarbonate (PC), methacrylic resin, and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). These flexible materials desirably contain an antistatic agent, which can prevent fuzz and the like from scattering due to electrostatic force. In addition, since the static contact angle of the ink on the plate-like member is 40 ° or more, the ink ejected during recording or flushing is difficult to spread and the ink is not contaminated on the recording medium or the adhesive belt. In addition to being able to hold, the ink can be easily washed by the washing part of the adhesive belt. As the color tone of the plate-like member, a color tone (for example, white) that allows the ink ejected during the flushing to be easily recognized is desirable. It is easy to check the cleaning state of the plate-like member by the cleaning unit, and the ink discharge state from the nozzles of the recording head can be checked by checking the flushing state.

［実施例］（図１〜図３）
以下に、本発明の一実施例に係る記録装置について、添付図面を参照して詳細に説明する。
図１は本発明の一実施例に係る記録装置１の概略側面図である。 [Example] (FIGS. 1 to 3)
Hereinafter, a recording apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic side view of a recording apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

本実施例の記録装置１は、記録を行うための被記録媒体ＰのロールＲ１を繰り出すことが可能な繰出部２を備えている。また、粘着剤が付着された支持面Ｆで被記録媒体Ｐを支持する粘着性ベルト１０により被記録媒体Ｐを搬送方向Ａに搬送する搬送機構３を備えている。また、被記録媒体Ｐの搬送方向Ａと交差する交差方向Ｂに記録ヘッド７を往復走査させて記録する記録機構４を備えている。また、粘着性ベルト１０の洗浄機構１５を備えている。さらに、被記録媒体Ｐを巻き取る巻取軸１７と巻き取られている被記録媒体Ｐを切断するカッター１６とを有する巻取機構１８を備えている。   The recording apparatus 1 of the present embodiment includes a feeding unit 2 that can feed out a roll R1 of a recording medium P for recording. In addition, a transport mechanism 3 that transports the recording medium P in the transport direction A by the adhesive belt 10 that supports the recording medium P on the support surface F to which the adhesive is attached is provided. In addition, a recording mechanism 4 that records the recording head 7 by reciprocating scanning in a crossing direction B that intersects the transport direction A of the recording medium P is provided. Further, a cleaning mechanism 15 for the adhesive belt 10 is provided. Furthermore, a winding mechanism 18 having a winding shaft 17 for winding the recording medium P and a cutter 16 for cutting the recording medium P being wound is provided.

繰出部２は、記録を行うための被記録媒体ＰのロールＲ１のセット位置を兼ねる回転軸５を備え、回転軸５にセットされたロールＲ１から従動ローラー６を介して被記録媒体Ｐを搬送機構３に繰り出すことが可能な構成となっている。なお、被記録媒体Ｐを搬送機構３に繰り出す際、回転軸５は回転方向Ｃに回転する。   The feeding unit 2 includes a rotating shaft 5 that also serves as a setting position of the roll R1 of the recording medium P for recording, and conveys the recording medium P from the roll R1 set on the rotating shaft 5 via the driven roller 6. The structure can be extended to the mechanism 3. When the recording medium P is fed out to the transport mechanism 3, the rotating shaft 5 rotates in the rotation direction C.

搬送機構３は、繰出部２から繰り出された被記録媒体Ｐを載置して搬送する粘着性ベルト１０と、粘着性ベルト１０を移動させる搬送ローラー８と従動ローラー９を備えている。被記録媒体Ｐは加圧ローラー１２により粘着性ベルト１０の支持面Ｆに加圧されて貼り付けられて載置される。なお、被記録媒体Ｐを搬送する際、搬送ローラー８は回転方向Ｃに回転する。   The transport mechanism 3 includes an adhesive belt 10 that places and transports the recording medium P fed from the feeding unit 2, a transport roller 8 that moves the adhesive belt 10, and a driven roller 9. The recording medium P is pressed and attached to the support surface F of the adhesive belt 10 by the pressure roller 12 and placed. When the recording medium P is transported, the transport roller 8 rotates in the rotation direction C.

記録機構４は、記録ヘッド７と該記録ヘッド７を搭載するキャリッジ２４（図２参照）と、該キャリッジ２４を交差方向Ｂに往復移動させる不図示のキャリッジモーターを有している。なお、図１において交差方向Ｂは紙面に対して垂直方向である。
記録の際、記録ヘッド７を往復走査させて記録するが、記録走査中（記録ヘッドの移動中）は、搬送機構３は被記録媒体Ｐの搬送を停止させる。別の表現をすると、記録の際、記録ヘッド７の往復走査と被記録媒体Ｐの搬送は交互に行われる。すなわち、記録の際、記録ヘッド７の往復走査に対応して、搬送機構３は被記録媒体Ｐを間欠搬送させている。
本実施例の記録装置１では、記録ヘッド７を往復走査させて記録する記録機構４を備えているが、このような構成の記録機構に限定されず、搬送方向Ａと交差する方向にインクを吐出するノズル列を設けた所謂ラインヘッドを有する記録機構を備えていてもよい。 The recording mechanism 4 includes a recording head 7, a carriage 24 (see FIG. 2) on which the recording head 7 is mounted, and a carriage motor (not shown) that reciprocates the carriage 24 in the cross direction B. In FIG. 1, the cross direction B is a direction perpendicular to the paper surface.
During recording, recording is performed by reciprocating the recording head 7. During the recording scanning (when the recording head is moving), the transport mechanism 3 stops the transport of the recording medium P. In other words, during recording, the reciprocating scanning of the recording head 7 and the conveyance of the recording medium P are alternately performed. That is, during recording, the conveyance mechanism 3 intermittently conveys the recording medium P corresponding to the reciprocating scanning of the recording head 7.
The recording apparatus 1 of the present embodiment includes the recording mechanism 4 that performs recording by reciprocating the recording head 7, but is not limited to the recording mechanism having such a configuration, and ink is supplied in a direction that intersects the transport direction A. You may provide the recording mechanism which has what is called a line head provided with the nozzle row to discharge.

粘着性ベルト１０の洗浄機構１５は、複数の洗浄ローラーが回転軸方向に連結されて構成された洗浄ユニット１３と、洗浄ユニット１３を洗浄するための洗浄剤が入ったトレイ１４と、を有する。洗浄機構１５は複数備えていてもよい。板状部材２０の洗浄性が向上するためである。   The cleaning mechanism 15 of the adhesive belt 10 includes a cleaning unit 13 configured by connecting a plurality of cleaning rollers in the rotation axis direction, and a tray 14 containing a cleaning agent for cleaning the cleaning unit 13. A plurality of cleaning mechanisms 15 may be provided. This is because the cleaning property of the plate-like member 20 is improved.

巻取機構１８は、記録がなされ、従動ローラー１１を介して搬送機構３から搬送された被記録媒体Ｐを巻き取る機構であり、巻取軸１７に巻き取り用の紙管等をセットしてこれに該被記録媒体Ｐを巻き付けていくことにより、被記録媒体ＰのロールＲ２として巻き取ることができる。   The winding mechanism 18 is a mechanism that winds the recording medium P on which recording has been performed and is transported from the transport mechanism 3 via the driven roller 11. A winding paper tube or the like is set on the winding shaft 17. By winding the recording medium P around this, the recording medium P can be wound as a roll R2.

次に、本実施例の記録装置１の粘着性ベルト１０の支持面Ｆに設けられた、被記録媒体Ｐの搬送方向Ａと交差する交差方向Ｂの該被記録媒体Ｐの端部２５を押さえる押さえ部１９について説明する。
図２は本実施例の記録装置１の粘着性ベルト１０を表す概略斜視図であり、図３は粘着性ベルト１０の支持面Ｆに設けられた押さえ部１９の概略図である。 Next, the end 25 of the recording medium P in the crossing direction B intersecting the transporting direction A of the recording medium P provided on the support surface F of the adhesive belt 10 of the recording apparatus 1 of the present embodiment is pressed. The holding part 19 will be described.
FIG. 2 is a schematic perspective view showing the adhesive belt 10 of the recording apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, and FIG. 3 is a schematic view of the pressing portion 19 provided on the support surface F of the adhesive belt 10.

本実施例の記録装置１の粘着性ベルト１０の支持面Ｆには、交差方向Ｂの被記録媒体Ｐの端部２５に対応する位置に、搬送方向Ａに沿って並べられる複数の板状部材２０により構成される押さえ部１９が設けられている。
図３で表されるように、押さえ部１９は、板状部材２０と、該板状部材２０を搬送方向Ａに沿う方向を回転軸２２として支持面Ｆに沿う方向から該方向と略垂直となる方向まで回転方向Ｄに回転移動可能な該板状部材２０を固定する固定部２１とを備えている。
なお、図２で表されるように、固定部２１が板状部材２０よりも交差方向Ｂの外側に位置するように、押さえ部１９は粘着性ベルト１０の支持面Ｆに設けられている。 On the support surface F of the adhesive belt 10 of the recording apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, a plurality of plate-like members arranged along the transport direction A at positions corresponding to the end portions 25 of the recording medium P in the intersecting direction B. A holding part 19 constituted by 20 is provided.
As shown in FIG. 3, the pressing portion 19 includes a plate-like member 20 and a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction from the direction along the support surface F with the direction along the conveyance direction A of the plate-like member 20 as the rotation axis 22. And a fixing portion 21 that fixes the plate-like member 20 that can be rotated and moved in the rotation direction D.
As shown in FIG. 2, the pressing portion 19 is provided on the support surface F of the adhesive belt 10 so that the fixing portion 21 is positioned outside the plate-like member 20 in the cross direction B.

本実施例の板状部材２０は、被記録媒体Ｐの支持開始位置Ｓ付近及び被記録媒体Ｐの支持終了位置Ｅ付近の位置では回転軸２２を基準に回転方向Ｄに回転して支持面Ｆから離れる方向に移動する。なお、これら以外の位置では、本実施例の板状部材２０は粘着性ベルト１０の交差方向Ｂにおける内側方向に倒されて支持面Ｆに沿うように位置している。
本実施例の板状部材２０は、不図示の駆動機構により粘着性ベルト１０の移動に対応してこのように移動する。ただし、このような構成に限定されない。例えば、このような板状部材２０の駆動機構を設けることなく、被記録媒体Ｐの支持終了位置Ｅにおける被記録媒体Ｐの支持面Ｆからの剥離に対応して、該剥離の際に被記録媒体Ｐから受ける力によって支持面Ｆから離れる方向に板状部材２０が持ち上げられる構成としてもよい。 The plate-like member 20 of the present embodiment rotates in the rotation direction D with respect to the rotation shaft 22 at a position near the support start position S of the recording medium P and a support end position E of the recording medium P, thereby supporting the surface F. Move away from. At other positions, the plate member 20 of the present embodiment is positioned so as to be along the support surface F by being tilted inward in the crossing direction B of the adhesive belt 10.
The plate-like member 20 of this embodiment moves in this way in response to the movement of the adhesive belt 10 by a drive mechanism (not shown). However, it is not limited to such a configuration. For example, without providing such a drive mechanism for the plate-like member 20, in response to the separation from the support surface F of the recording medium P at the support end position E of the recording medium P, recording is performed at the time of the separation. The plate-like member 20 may be lifted in the direction away from the support surface F by the force received from the medium P.

毛羽の影響を受けにくい被記録媒体Ｐに記録を行う場合、板状部材２０は粘着性ベルト１０の交差方向Ｂにおける外側方向に倒されて支持面Ｆに沿うように位置することが可能である。
洗浄機構１５を複数備えている場合、板状部材２０が粘着性ベルト１０の交差方向Ｂにおける内側方向に倒された状態で洗浄を行い、次いで粘着性ベルト１０の交差方向Ｂにおける外側方向に倒された状態で洗浄を行う構成としてもよい。これにより、板状部材２０と粘着性ベルト１０の間に毛羽が残存した場合も洗浄可能となり、粘着性ベルト１０の粘着性が良好な状態で維持できる。更に、記録装置１内での毛羽による記録不良の発生を防ぐことができる。 When recording on the recording medium P that is not easily affected by fluff, the plate-like member 20 can be positioned along the support surface F by being tilted outward in the crossing direction B of the adhesive belt 10. .
When a plurality of cleaning mechanisms 15 are provided, cleaning is performed in a state where the plate-like member 20 is tilted inward in the crossing direction B of the adhesive belt 10, and then tilted outward in the crossing direction B of the adhesive belt 10. It is good also as a structure which wash | cleans in the state performed. Thereby, even when fluff remains between the plate-like member 20 and the adhesive belt 10, cleaning becomes possible, and the adhesiveness of the adhesive belt 10 can be maintained in a good state. Furthermore, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of recording failure due to fluff in the recording apparatus 1.

また、本実施例の板状部材２０は、搬送方向Ａの長さＬ２が記録ヘッド７の１回の往復移動で記録可能な搬送方向Ａの長さＬ１よりも長い。このため、板状部材２０の継ぎ目に記録ヘッド７からインクを吐出し、該継ぎ目からインクが被記録媒体Ｐに流れるということを抑制することが可能な構成になっている。ただし、このような構成に限定されない。
なお、本実施例における記録ヘッド７の１回の往復移動で記録可能な搬送方向Ａの長さＬ１は、支持面Ｆと対向する記録ヘッド７のインク吐出面に備えられた複数のノズルからなるノズル列の搬送方向Ａの長さに対応している。 Further, the plate-like member 20 of this embodiment has a length L2 in the transport direction A longer than a length L1 in the transport direction A that can be recorded by one reciprocating movement of the recording head 7. For this reason, ink is ejected from the recording head 7 at the joint of the plate-like member 20, and the ink can be prevented from flowing to the recording medium P from the joint. However, it is not limited to such a configuration.
In this embodiment, the length L1 in the transport direction A that can be recorded by one reciprocating movement of the recording head 7 is composed of a plurality of nozzles provided on the ink ejection surface of the recording head 7 that faces the support surface F. This corresponds to the length of the nozzle row in the transport direction A.

また、本実施例の板状部材２０は、可撓性を有する材料を用いて構成されている。このため、搬送ローラー８及び従動ローラー９付近で粘着性ベルト１０が湾曲しても、粘着性ベルト１０の湾曲に対応して板状部材２０も湾曲する構成となっている。ただし、このような構成に限定されず、例えば、可撓性を有しない材料を用いて構成され、搬送方向Ａの長さＬ２が短い構成の板状部材２０を用いてもよい。   Moreover, the plate-like member 20 of the present embodiment is configured using a flexible material. For this reason, even if the adhesive belt 10 is curved in the vicinity of the transport roller 8 and the driven roller 9, the plate-like member 20 is also curved corresponding to the curvature of the adhesive belt 10. However, it is not limited to such a structure, For example, you may use the plate-shaped member 20 comprised using the material which does not have flexibility, and the length L2 of the conveyance direction A is short.

また、本実施例の板状部材２０は、インク受け機能を有しており、記録ヘッド７をフラッシングさせる際や被記録媒体Ｐの端部２５の方まで記録する際などに記録ヘッド７から吐出されたインクを保持可能である。なお、板状部材２０に塗布されたインクは、粘着性ベルト１０の洗浄機構１５によって粘着性ベルト１０と共に洗浄される。   Further, the plate-like member 20 of this embodiment has an ink receiving function, and is ejected from the recording head 7 when the recording head 7 is flushed or when recording is performed up to the end 25 of the recording medium P. The retained ink can be retained. The ink applied to the plate-like member 20 is cleaned together with the adhesive belt 10 by the cleaning mechanism 15 of the adhesive belt 10.

また、本実施例の記録装置１には、記録ヘッド７を搭載するキャリッジ２４に光学センサー２３が設けられている。光学センサー２３は、キャリッジ２４と共に前記交差方向Ｂに移動することによって押さえ部１９を検出することにより、記録ヘッド７による被記録媒体Ｐの交差方向Ｂにおける記録可能領域の端部を検出可能である。   In the recording apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, an optical sensor 23 is provided on a carriage 24 on which the recording head 7 is mounted. The optical sensor 23 can detect the end of the recordable area in the intersecting direction B of the recording medium P by the recording head 7 by detecting the pressing portion 19 by moving in the intersecting direction B together with the carriage 24. .
