Abstract:
1. An ink-jet recording apparatus comprising: a transporting roller provided in a transport path through which a recording medium is guided, and configured to transport the recording medium along the transport path in a transporting direction; a driven roller provided opposite the transporting roller to sandwich the recording medium between the driven roller and the transporting roller to transport the recording medium along the transport path, while moving in an approaching-departuring direction to approach to or depart from the transporting roller based on a thickness of the recording medium sandwiched between the driven roller and the transporting roller; a first biasing member biasing the driven roller to the transporting roller; a platen provided below the transport path on a downstream side from the transporting roller in the transporting direction, and configured to support the recording medium transported through the transport path; a recording portion provided above the transport path to face the platen, and configured to jet ink droplets from nozzles to record an image on the recording medium supported on the platen; and a cooperative portion configured to move along with movement of the driven roller in the approaching-departuring direction to move the platen, wherein the cooperative portion comprises: wherein the platen moves in resistance to a biasing force of the second biasing member due to the contact portion being pressed by the contacted portion.
