Abstract
In a recording apparatus for stably conveying a recording medium to a recording portion by a convey belt, the recording medium is passed through a nip of a pair of separation supply rollers and enters into a nip between a convey belt and a driven roller and thereafter is conveyed by the convey belt to a recording portion. When a leading end of the recording medium is detected by a recording medium detect sensor, the supply roller is disengaged from the separation roller, so that the convey belt is not subjected to the influence of the pair of separation supply rollers via the recording medium and when a trailing end of the recording medium is detected by a recording medium detect sensor, the driven roller is disengaged from the convey belt, so that the recording medium is not subjected to conveyance resistance from the driven roller.
