Recording apparatus

A recording apparatus comprising:

• a recording section configured to discharge a liquid onto a transported medium for recording;
• a corrugating section disposed on an upstream side of the recording section in a medium transport direction, the corrugating section being configured to form crests and troughs in the medium, wherein the crests and troughs are formed so as to alternate in a width direction which intersects the medium transport direction;
• a plurality of post-recording transport paths disposed on a downstream side of the recording section, the post-recording transport paths having different destinations for the recorded medium;
• a relaxing section that can be switched between a relaxing position in which the corrugations formed by the corrugating section are relaxed and a maintaining position in which the corrugations are maintained with respect to the medium between the recording section and branch points of the post-recording transport paths in the medium transport direction;
• and
• a controller configured to control the switching of the relaxing section between the relaxing position and the maintaining position,
• wherein the controller switches the relaxing section depending on to which one of the post-recording transport paths the recorded medium is to be transported.
