Abstract
A recording apparatus is capable of reliably correcting skew feeding of a recording sheet in an arrangement for conveying the recording sheet absorbed by a belt surface. The recording apparatus includes: a driving roller for driving the conveying belt wound around the driving roller and electrically charging the conveying belt by application of a voltage; and a pinching roller abutting against the driving roller via the conveying belt. A pinching section, which is formed by the driving roller and the pinching roller, corrects skew feeding of the recording sheet fed from the paper feed section and thereafter the voltage is applied to the driving roller to electrically charge the conveying belt.
Claims14
A recording apparatus comprising:
- a feed roller for feeding a recording sheet;
- a conveying belt for absorbing and conveying the recording sheet;
- a driving roller for driving said conveying belt wound around said driving roller;
- a power supply for electrically charging said conveying belt by application of a voltage;
- and
- a pinching roller abutting said driving roller via said conveying belt,
- wherein the recording apparatus performs recording on the recording sheet absorbed by said conveying belt,
- wherein said driving roller stops rotation such that the recording sheet fed by said feed roller abuts a nip between said conveying belt and said pinching roller, thus performing skew correction, and
- wherein said power supply does not apply the voltage to electrically charge said conveying belt until the skew correction is complete.
