Abstract
An ink-jet recording apparatus including an ink-jet recording head; two upstream-side rollers which feed a recording sheet to the head in a downstream direction along a sheet-feed path; two downstream-side rollers which feed the sheet from the head; at least one rotating device which rotates, in a forward direction corresponding to the downward direction, the upstream-side and downstream-side rollers, and rotates, in a backward direction corresponding to an upstream direction opposite to the downward direction, at least the downstream-side rollers; a sheet reversing device which reverses the sheet and feeds the reversed sheet to the upstream-side rollers; and a control device which controls, when the head records an image on one surface of the sheet, the rotating device to rotate, in the forward direction, the upstream-side and downstream-side rollers such that a trailing end of the sheet is fed to a position outside a radius range between (a) a nip position where the upstream-side rollers nip the sheet and (b) a downstream-side position distant from the nip position in the downstream direction by a distance equal to a radius of one of the upstream-side rollers that is located on o…
