ABSTRACT:
An ink-jet recording apparatus comprises a first roller, a second roller, a looped conveyor belt, a conveyance face formed on the conveyor belt to convey a record medium, an ink-jet head, and a roller supporter. The conveyor belt is wrapped around the first and second rollers to be stretched between the first and second rollers. The ink-jet head has an ink ejection face on which nozzles each of which ejects ink are formed. The roller supporter supports the first roller so that the first roller can be swung between a conveyance position where the conveyance face is opposed to the ink ejection face in a state wherein the conveyance face is parallel to the ink ejection face, and a withdrawal position where the conveyance face is distant from the ink ejection face by a distance larger than the distance between the conveyance face and the ink ejection face when the first roller is at the conveyance position, with a swing radius shorter than the distance between the axes of the first and second rollers when the first roller is at the conveyance position.
