• and
• a support member that is disposed to face the liquid emitting head and supports the medium,
• wherein, in the support member, in a first region as a region through which an edge of a first medium passes in a medium width direction as a direction intersecting a medium transport direction, a liquid receiving portion is provided which receives the liquid emitted on a region deviated from the edge of the first medium in the medium width direction, and
• wherein, in a second region as a region through which an edge of a second medium in which a size thereof in the medium width direction is larger than that of the first medium passes, an absorbing material disposing portion at which a liquid absorbing material which absorbs the liquid guided from the liquid receiving portion is disposed to be capable of being exposed from an upper side of the support member is provided.
