INK JET RECORDING DEVICE AND DETECTION METHOD OF FLOATING OF RECORDING MEDIUM

To provide a detection method of floating of an ink jet recording device and recording medium which can discriminate and detect a state led to the wasteful consumption of the recording medium more properly.SOLUTION: An ink jet recording device includes: a conveyance part which conveys a recording medium placed on a conveyance surface; an ink discharge part which discharges ink to the recording medium conveyed by the conveyance part; a detection part which detects the floating of the recording medium from the conveyance surface at the prescribed position on the upstream side with respect to the ink discharge part in the conveyance direction of the recording medium by the conveyance part; discrimination means which discriminates whether or not the floating of the recording medium satisfies a prescribed condition related to the continuous state of the floating in the conveyance direction on the basis of the detection result by the detection part; and processing means which performs prescribed processing when the discrimination means discriminates that the condition is satisfied.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7 【課題】より適切に記録媒体の無駄な消費に繋がる状態を判別して検出することができるインクジェット記録装置及び記録媒体の浮き上がりの検出方法を提供する。【解決手段】インクジェット記録装置は、搬送面に載置された記録媒体を搬送する搬送部と、搬送部により搬送される記録媒体に対してインクを吐出するインク吐出部と、搬送部による記録媒体の搬送方向についてインク吐出部より上流側の所定位置における搬送面からの記録媒体の浮き上がりを検出する検出部と、検出部による検出結果に基づいて、記録媒体の浮き上がりが、搬送方向についての浮き上がりの連続状態に係る所定の条件を満たすか否かを判別する判別手段と、判別手段により条件が満たされていると判別された場合に所定の処理を行う処理手段と、を備える。【選択図】図７
