ABSTRACT:
An ink jet printer feeds a sheet of recording medium onto a platen, and record an image by ejecting droplets of ink from a print head attached to the platen. The ink jet printer has a media deforming section for deforming a part of the recording medium into a downward projection. The media deforming section includes a wedge above a recording media feeding path, and a wedge receiver below the feeding path to fit with the wedge. The wedge and the wedge receiver are joined together to press the recording medium from above and below, and form the downward projection. While the recording medium passes the platen, the downward projection wipes off ink stain on ribs of the platen.
