Recording apparatus

Abstract

A configuration which improves workability when performing maintenance. A recording apparatus 100 includes a recording head H, a main carriage 21 movable along a first direction X1, X2, a sub-carriage 22 held by the main carriage 21, and a regulating portion which regulates a movement of a recording medium P inserted into the recording apparatus 100 in a second direction Y1, Y2. The sub-carriage 22 is moved along the first direction in association with a movement of the main carriage 21, and is movable to a first position and to a second position along the second direction relative to the main carriage 21. The shortest distance between the regulating portion and discharge ports of the recording head H with respect to the second direction when the sub-carriage 22 is in the second position is larger than that when the sub-carriage 22 is in the first position. An operation of removing the recording head H from the sub-carriage 22 is performed in a state in which the sub-carriage 22 is in the second position with respect to the second direction.
