Abstract:
1. A recording apparatus comprising: a holding tray; a recording unit capable of performing a recording operation on each of a first recording medium and a second recording medium set on one surface of the holding tray, wherein the first recording medium is different from the second recording medium; a transport driving roller that applies a transport force, directed toward the recording unit, to an opposite surface of the holding tray from the one surface on which the second recording medium is set; and an ejection driving roller located downstream of the recording unit such that the ejection driving roller is placed on the same side of the holding tray as the transport driving roller, the ejection driving roller applying an ejection force to the first recording medium, the ejection force acting in the direction in which the first recording medium is ejected, wherein the opposite surface of the holding tray has an irregular pattern including a protrusion and a recess, the protrusion coming into contact with the outer surface of the transport driving roller, the recess being located so as to face the ejection driving roller, wherein a bottom surface of the recess comes into contact with an outer surface of the ejection driving roller when the holding tray is transported.
