Abstract
A recording head has a head face on which at least one row of dot forming elements which form dots on a recording medium is arranged in a subscanning direction thereof. A drive feeding roller extends in a main scanning direction of the recording head. A plurality of driven feeding rollers are arranged in the main scanning direction with a predetermined interval, such that the recording medium is nipped between the drive feeding roller and the driven feeding rollers to be fed to the recording head. A plurality of medium regulators are arranged in the main scanning direction with a predetermined interval which is associated with the arrangement of the driven feeding rollers. The medium regulators are opposed to the head face such that top faces define a distance between the recording medium carried thereon and the head face.
