Abstract: A printer includes a recording unit, a glue belt, a pressing roller, a blowing unit, an ion application unit, and a charging unit. The glue belt includes an outer peripheral surface configured to support a medium. The pressing roller is provided upstream of the recording unit in a circumferential direction, and presses the medium against the outer peripheral surface. The blowing unit is provided upstream of the recording unit and downstream of the pressing roller in the circumferential direction and configured to blow a gas toward the outer peripheral surface. The ion application unit applies ions having a positive polarity to the gas blown onto the outer peripheral surface. The charging unit charges a front surface configured to come into contact with the medium so that the polarity of the potential of the front surface is the same as the polarity of the ions applied to the gas.
