Recording apparatus

A recording apparatus comprising:

• a first rotating member for supporting a recording medium while rotating, and conveying the recording medium along an outer peripheral surface of the first rotating member such that a recording side of the recording medium bulges;
• a second rotating member that is adjacent to and downstream of the first rotating member in a conveying direction of the recording medium, the second rotating member being for supporting the recording medium while rotating;
• a third rotating member downstream of the second rotating member in the conveying direction, the third rotating member being for supporting the recording medium while rotating, and conveying the recording medium along an outer peripheral surface of the third rotating member such that the recording side of the recording medium bulges;
• a recording portion for performing a recording operation on the recording side of the recording medium, at a location downstream of the third rotating member in the conveying direction;
• and
• a floating detection portion for detecting floating of the recording medium between the first rotating member and the second rotating member,
• wherein, as viewed along a rotation axis line direction of the first rotating member, letting a first arc portion be an abutment portion between the recording medium and the first rotating member, and letting a third arc portion be an abutment portion between the recording medium and the third rotating member, a third arc height, which is a distance from a chord of the third arc portion to an apex of the third arc portion, is smaller than a first arc height, which is a distance from a chord of the first arc portion to an apex of the first arc portion.
