A recording apparatus includes a recording unit for recoding on a recording medium by ejecting ink, a conveyor belt for transporting the medium, first and second electrode groups including a plurality of electrodes inside the conveyor belt, a charging unit for charging the first and second electrode groups to provide a potential difference between the first and second electrode groups in order to generate an electrostatic force for attracting the medium to the conveyor belt, a duplex transport unit for turning over the medium transported by the conveyor belt from a first surface upward to a second surface upward and delivering the medium to the conveyor belt with the second surface upward, and a control unit for controlling the charging unit so that a difference between the potentials of the first and second electrode groups during transportation of the medium with the second surface upward is different from that during transportation of the medium with the first surface upward.
