Abstract
A recording apparatus includes a recording head for performing recording on a sheet, a first rotating member, disposed at a side downstream from the recording head so as to contact a non-recorded surface of the sheet on which recording has been performed by the recording head, for supplying the sheet with a conveying force, and a second rotating member, including pointed teeth at its outer circumference, for conveying the sheet in cooperation with the first rotating member while distal ends of the teeth contact a recorded surface of the sheet. The radius of curvature of the tips of the teeth are equal to or less than 0.05 mm.
