Recording device

A recording device comprising:

• a placement section configured to pivot about a first pivot shaft between a use state and a stored state, the placement section being configured to support a medium to be recorded on by a recording section in the use state and configured not to support the medium in the stored state;
• a housing that accommodates the recording section and in which is formed a sheet feeding port through which the medium supported on the placement section passes;
• a cover section configured to pivot about a second pivot shaft between a covering state that covers at least a part of the sheet feeding port and an open state that opens up the sheet feeding port;
• and
• an interlocking section that pivots the cover section from the open state to the covering state when the placement section pivots from the stored state to the use state, and that pivots the cover section from the covering state to the open state when the placement section pivots from the use state to the stored state, wherein
• the cover section in the open state is in a posture along the placement section in the stored state and the sheet feeding port is between the first pivot shaft and the second pivot shaft.
