Abstract
A recording apparatus includes a supply portion for supplying an airflow, a blowing port that is formed in a slit-like form following a width direction orthogonal to a conveying direction of a discharged medium, for blowing out the airflow supplied from the supply portion, the blowing port being formed with a channel, through which the airflow flows, extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to a conveyance region of the discharged medium, from an inlet side at which the airflow is introduced, to an outlet side, and a supporting member provided on the inlet side of the blowing port to support opposing wall faces of the blowing port, while allowing passage of the airflow. The blowing port has a narrow portion that partially narrows a width of the channel, father on the outlet side than the supporting member of the wall faces forming the channel.
