Recording apparatus

A recording apparatus comprising:

• a medium support section in which a plurality of first suction holes passing through from a medium support surface which supports a recording medium to a rear surface is formed;
• a recording process section which carries out a recording process on the recording medium;
• a plurality of first suction sections which is provided on the rear surface side and communicates with the plurality of first suction holes;
• a second suction section which is disposed on the side opposite to the medium support section with respect to the plurality of first suction sections;
• a wall section which is disposed between the first suction sections and the second suction section and in which a plurality of second suction holes each making each of the first suction sections and the second suction section communicate with each other is formed;
• a suction mechanism which suctions the recording medium disposed on the medium support surface through the first suction holes and the second suction holes;
• and
• a slide member which is disposed on the wall section, is movable in a parallel fashion along the wall section, and is provided with a plurality of blocking portions having different lengths in a direction of parallel movement and capable of selectively blocking the plurality of second suction holes.
