Claim:
1. A recording apparatus comprising: a recording portion configured to record on a medium transported in a transporting direction; a transporting portion which transports the medium and is provided in an area upstream from the recording portion in the transporting direction of the medium, the transporting portion including at least three rollers spaced apart from each other and aligned in a row substantially perpendicular to the transporting direction; a detecting portion which is located in an area downstream from the transporting portion and upstream from the recording portion in the transporting direction and detects partial deformation of the medium occurring in a space between two adjacent rollers; and a plurality of tension adjusters including at least one tension adjuster being disposed completely within a width of the medium, the plurality of tension adjusters being spaced apart from each other, aligned in a row substantially perpendicular to the transporting direction, and offset from the at least three rollers, each of the plurality of tension adjusters being configured to apply tension to the medium from at least either a recording surface side or a non-recording surface side opposite to the recording surface of the medium to smooth the detected partial deformation.
