Claims13
A recording device comprising:
- a moving portion that is movable in a moving direction intersecting a horizontal direction;
- and
- a regulating member that includes a regulating portion and is attachable to and detachable from a contact position where the regulating portion comes into contact with a part of the moving portion, wherein
- the regulating member regulates movement of the moving portion in the moving direction by the regulating portion coming into contact with a part of the moving portion,
- the moving portion includes a rack, and
- movement of the moving portion in the moving direction is regulated by engagement between the regulating portion of the regulating member and the rack.
