Abstract
An image recording apparatus includes a recording head that records an image on a recording medium, and a conveyor having an adhesive area and a charged area, that is charged by a charging unit. The adhesive area and the charged area are formed on the outer circumferential surface of the conveyor and convey the recording medium supported on the outer circumferential surface of the conveyor in a conveying direction. A medium feeder supplies the recording medium to the conveyor.
Claims20
An image recording apparatus comprising:
- a recording head that records an image on a recording medium;
- a conveyor having an adhesive area and a charged area, that is charged by a charging unit, the adhesive area and the charged area being formed on the outer circumferential surface of the conveyor and conveying the recording medium supported on the outer circumferential surface of the conveyor in a conveying direction, each of the adhesive area and the charged area extending one of across an entirety of the conveyor in a direction orthogonal to the conveying direction and annularly around an entire outer surface of the conveyor;
- and
- a medium feeder that supplies the recording medium to the conveyor.
An image recording apparatus comprising:
- a recording head that records an image on a recording medium;
- a conveying belt extended between a first roller and a second roller, having a plurality of adhesive areas and a plurality of charged areas, that are charged by a charging unit, the adhesive areas and charged areas being formed on the outer circumferential surface of the conveying belt and conveying the recording medium supported on the outer circumferential surface of the conveying belt in a conveying direction from the first roller to the second roller, the adhesive areas and the charged areas being alternately disposed in a direction orthogonal to the conveying direction and extending annularly around an entire outer surface of the conveyor in the conveying direction;
- and
- a medium feeder that supplies the recording medium to the conveying belt.
