Abstract
An ink jet printer includes paper supply rollers for supplying a paper, paper eject rollers for ejecting the paper supplied from the paper supply rollers, where the paper is transported along a paper transport direction in an approximately plane paper supply path between the paper supply and eject rollers, a nozzle for ejecting ink on the paper in a printing region between the paper supply and eject rollers, and a guide part for guiding the paper between the paper supply and eject rollers. A gap is formed between the guide part and the paper which is simultaneously transported by both the paper supply and eject rollers at least within the printing region. The gap decreases in the paper transport direction towards the paper eject rollers.
