Intermediate transfer type printer equipped with mounting tray for mounting recording medium

Abstract

When a primary image recorded on an intermediate transfer body is retransferred onto a recording medium such as CD to record an image, the recording medium can be easily taken out of a mounting tray; in order to record a satisfactory image on the recording medium, on a downstream side of a recording head in a conveying path of the intermediate transfer body, there is arranged a mounting tray for mounting the recording medium so as to oppose to a heat roller through the intermediate transfer body; of a surface of the mounting tray, a surface of a mounting portion for mounting the recording medium is made into a non-sticking surface which when the heat roller is press-contacted to the recording medium through the intermediate transfer body, prevents the recording medium from strongly sticking to the mounting portion; in a surrounding portion of the mounting portion, there is formed a holding member for holding an outer peripheral surface of the recording medium; and a surface of a holding member is made flush with a surface of the recording medium mounted on the mounting portion.
