Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a plurality of belt rollers that rotate, a direction in which a rotation axis of each belt rollers extends being a width direction that intersects a transport direction of a medium; a transporting belt that, while wound across the plurality of belt rollers, rotate to transport the medium in the transport direction; a print head that performs printing on the medium transported by the transporting belt; and a control unit that rotates the transporting belt while in a state in which an unrotated state of the transporting belt has continued for a predetermined period. When a rotation position of the transporting belt after application of power and before rotating the transporting belt is referred to as an initial rotation position, in a case in which a rotation of the transporting belt is to be stopped, the control unit stops the transporting belt at a rotation position that is different from the initial rotation position.

Abstract: A recording apparatus includes a belt conveyor unit that can be switched between a first state in which at least a portion of the belt outer surface of a conveyor belt is located at a recording position at which a line head performs recording and a second state in which the belt outer surface is located more distant than the recording position from the line head. The recording apparatus also includes a wiping device that is in contact with the belt outer surface and wipes the belt outer surface. The belt conveyor unit is switched from the second state to the first state after carrying out of a preliminary operation in which the conveyor belt is moved over a predetermined distance in a reverse direction opposite to a normal direction in which the conveyor belt transports a sheet.
