Abstract
A platen disposed at a position at which the platen faces a printing head includes a contact portion that comes into contact with a recording medium, a non-contact portion that does not come into contact with the recording medium, and an ink receiving portion that receives ink ejected to beyond the recording medium. A recessed portion is formed between the ink receiving portion and the contact portion in the width direction of the recording medium so as to be lower than the contact portion in the vertical direction. A supply portion that supplies air to the recessed portion is formed upstream of the recessed portion in the conveyance direction of the recording medium.
