Abstract
A printer includes a corrugating section disposed on an upstream side of a line head, the corrugating section being configured to alternately form crests and troughs in a sheet in a width direction which intersects a medium transport direction, a relaxing section that can be switched between a relaxing position in which the corrugations formed by the corrugating section are relaxed and a maintaining position in which the corrugations are maintained with respect to the sheet on a downstream side of the line head between the line head and branch points of transport paths and a controller configured to control the switching of the relaxing section between the relaxing position and the maintaining position. The controller switches the relaxing section depending on a transport destination of the recorded sheet.
