Patent ID: 8246136

Claim:
A recording apparatus comprising: a recording head having an ejection surface from which a liquid is ejected; and a conveyor device having a conveyor member with a conveyor surface which is opposed to the ejection surface and on which a recording medium is placed, the conveyor device being configured to convey the recording medium in a conveyance direction by moving the conveyor member, wherein the recording apparatus further comprises a first attraction device and a second attraction device each of which is configured to permit the recording medium placed on the conveyor surface to be attracted to the conveyor surface, wherein the first attraction device comprises: a first electrode and a second electrode each of which is opposed to one surface of the recording medium that is opposite to another surface thereof facing the ejection surface, with the recording medium placed on the conveyor surface; and a first voltage applicator configured to apply a voltage between the first electrode and the second electrode, wherein the second attraction device comprises: an electrifying body and a third electrode between which at least one of the recording medium and the conveyor member is sandwiched; and a second voltage applicator configured to apply a voltage between the electrifying body and the third electrode, the second attraction device being configured to electrify the at least one of the recording medium and the conveyor member, and wherein the recording apparatus further comprises: a humidity detector configured to detect humidity; and a controller configured to control, on the basis of the humidity detected by the humidity detector, at least one of the voltage to be applied by the first voltage applicator and the voltage to be applied by the second voltage applicator.
