Abstract
An electric field generating unit that forms an electric field between a nozzle forming surface of a recording head and a medium support section that faces the nozzle forming surface by applying a voltage to a conductive member includes the conductive member, forms an electric field, and, during borderless recording in which ink is ejected on inside and outside of an edge of a paper sheet, applies an increased voltage in an ink discarded region outside the edge compared to a voltage applied in a recording region other than the ink discarded region.
Claims6
A recording apparatus comprising:
- a recording head having a nozzle that ejects liquid onto a medium transported;
- and
- an electric field generating unit that forms an electric field between a nozzle forming surface of the recording head and a nozzle facing section that faces the nozzle forming surface,
- wherein the electric field generating unit has a conductive member and is configured to form the electric field between the nozzle forming surface and the nozzle facing section by applying a voltage to the conductive member, and, during borderless recording in which liquid is ejected on inside and outside of an edge of the medium, applies an increased voltage in a liquid discarded region outside the edge compared to a voltage applied in the recording region other than the liquid discarded region.
