Recording apparatus and driving control method thereof

Abstract

The invention provides a recording apparatus for suppressing variation in the feeding amount of a holding tray during a transportation operation so that the feeding amount is uniform and a good image is formed, and a driving control method thereof. In the driving control method of an ink-jet printer, a holding tray is inserted in a transportation path facing a recording head, and is capable of holding a recording medium on a front surface thereof, the holding tray having a plane area used to horizontally hold the recording medium and a sloped area provided in a rear end in a transportation direction and inclined toward a rear surface thereof as it becomes closer to a rear edge; when the holding tray is clamped between a driving roller which comes into contact with the rear surface of the holding tray and a driven roller which comes into contact with the front surface of the holding tray for transporting, a control device controls the driving roller in response to the case of transporting the plane area of the holding tray and the case of transporting the sloped area thereof (step S5).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a recording material such as an optical disc placed on a placement portion of a holding tray, and the holding tray is moved by a conveying mechanism to perform recording on the recording material in a recording execution area, including printers, facsimile machines, and copiers. A conceptual recording device including a composite machine and a drive control method thereof. Background technique [0002] In an inkjet printer, which is an example of a recording device, there is a soft recording material such as paper or film and a hard recording material represented by an optical disc (CD-R or DVD-R, etc.) An inkjet printer that selectively performs recording. Also, when performing recording on a recording material such as a CD-R, a dedicated holding tray prepared as a separate accessory or an inkjet printer with a structure in which the holding tray is built into the printer body is used. The holding tray is provided wi...

Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, due to the inclined surface for guiding the driven roller provided on the rear end side of the holding tray in the conveying direction, there is a problem that the supply amount of the holding tray during conveyance fluctuates.

That is, since the size of the holding tray in the conveying direction is reduced, the driven roller contacts the above-mentioned inclined surface during recording, and the holding tray is held by the clamping force between the driven roller and the conveying driving roller. Defects that cannot be recorded well, such as pushing out in the conveying direction
