Placement tray and recording device

A placement tray that is displaceable between a closed state and an open state with respect to a device main body, the placement tray comprising:

• a placement surface on which a medium is placed;
• an edge guide that restricts a side edge of the medium that is placed on the placement surface;
• and
• a link member that is connected to the device main body and that supports the placement tray in the open state, wherein
• the edge guide has
• a movable section that is configured to pivotably switch between a non-use posture in which in the closed state the movable section reclines along the placement surface and a use posture in which in the open state the movable section is upright with respect to the placement surface and
• an operation section that has a fixed posture with respect to the placement surface and that is operated by a user, and
• the movable section has
• a medium guide section having a guide surface that extends in a transport direction of the medium and that guides the medium being transported in the transport direction and
• a protruding contact portion that protrudes from the medium guide section so as to extend in an upright direction and that, when the open state is shifted to the closed state, switches the movable section from the use posture to the non-use posture by contacting a contacted portion of the device main body.
