A recording apparatus comprising:
- a conveying unit configured to convey a recording medium in a conveyance direction;
- a platen configured to support the recording medium conveyed by the conveying unit;
- a recording head configured to perform recording on the recording medium supported by the platen;
- a pressing unit configured to press the recording medium upstream of the platen with respect to the conveyance direction;
- an air blowing unit configured to blow air toward a supported region of the recording medium, which is supported by the platen, from an upstream side with respect to the conveyance direction;
- and
- a guide member configured to be fixed to the pressing unit, provide partitioning between a space facing a blown air outlet of the air blowing unit and the pressing unit, and guide the air blown by the air blowing unit.
