Printing apparatus

A printing apparatus, comprising:

• a printing unit configured to perform printing on a medium having an elongated shape;
• a holding unit including an insertion portion to be inserted into a winding core from an outside in an extending direction of the winding core, the winding core being any one of a first winding core of the medium being wound or a second winding core for winding the medium;
• a support unit being configured to support the holding unit and having a rail shape that allows the holding unit to move in a moving direction along an inserting direction of the insertion portion;
• and
• a regulation unit configured to regulate movement of the holding unit in the moving direction with respect to the support unit, wherein
• the regulation unit includes an operation unit and a braking unit configured to sandwich the support unit in a direction intersecting with the moving direction by operating the operation unit, and
• the holding unit is attached rotatably with the support unit as a rotation axis.

• a pair of legs to which ends of the support unit in the moving direction are attached;
• a coupling portion extending in the moving direction to couple the pair of legs to each other, and at least partially composed of a magnetic body;
• and
• an auxiliary regulation unit configured to regulate movement of the holding unit with respect to the support unit, wherein
• the regulation unit includes an operation unit and a braking unit configured to sandwich the support unit in a direction intersecting with the moving direction by operating the operation unit, and
• the auxiliary regulation unit includes a magnet provided at a position facing the magnetic body of the holding unit.
