Abstract

Abstract An ink jet printer forwards a recording medium correctly by causing the recording medium to approach a recording head (15) as closely as possible and involves minimal parts by providing a gap regulating member (14). An upper surface (14a) of the gap regulating member (14) serves as a surface for guiding travel of an ink jet head (15) and a lower surface (14b) thereof serves as a surface for guiding forwarding of a recording medium. The gap regulating member (14) is disposed adjacent to a start end of an upwardly rotating region on a sheet feed roller (6) in such a manner that the gap regulating member (14) intersects a circumferential surface of the sheet feed roller at an angle (α) smaller than 90°.
