Recording apparatus

A recording apparatus comprising:

• a recording unit configured to record an image on a recording medium;
• a discharge unit configured to discharge, in a discharge direction, the recording medium recorded by the recording unit;
• a tray on which the recording medium, discharged by the discharge unit, is to be stacked;
• a side wall extending in the discharge direction and configured to face the recording medium stacked on the tray and regulate movement of the recording medium stacked on the tray;
• a scanner unit arranged above the tray and configured to read an image of a document, and
• a power supply unit arranged below the tray and configured to supply electricity to the recording unit,
• wherein the power supply unit is provided with a fan configured to take in air from an intake portion,
• wherein the side wall is provided with an exhaust portion upwardly inclined toward a bottom surface of the scanner unit such that the scanner unit resides above the bottom surface, the bottom surface resides above the exhaust portion, the exhaust portion resides above the tray and above recording medium stacked on the tray, and the tray resides above the intake portion,
• wherein the bottom surface of the scanner unit is arranged above the side wall to form an exhaust space with the tray and the exhaust portion, and
• wherein the exhaust portion is configured to exhaust air from above the tray and above recording medium stacked on the tray and from an inside of the recording apparatus into the exhaust space to hit the bottom surface of the scanner unit in a case where the fan is driven, whereby, by ensuring the exhausted air first impacts the bottom surface of the scanner unit, air exhausted into the exhaust space is prevented from being exhausted directly onto the stacked recording medium and from being exhausted from the tray or from recording medium stacked on the tray directly towards a user of the recording apparatus.
