Recording apparatus

A recording apparatus, comprising:

• a liquid ejection head configured to perform recording by ejecting a liquid onto a medium;
• a facing portion disposed to face the liquid ejection head;
• and
• a cap portion configured to cover a liquid ejection surface of the liquid ejection head, wherein
• an opening portion is formed in the facing portion,
• the cap portion is disposed at a position that is on an inner side of the opening portion and faces the liquid ejection surface,
• the liquid ejection head is movable in a direction in which the liquid ejection head moves forward and backward with respect to the facing portion by power of a motor,
• a movement region of the liquid ejection head includes a recording position at which recording is performed on the medium, and a cap position at which the liquid ejection surface is covered by the cap portion,
• the liquid ejection head includes an abutting portion configured to abut on the facing portion,
• the facing portion is displaceable along a movement direction of the liquid ejection head and is pressed toward the liquid ejection head by a pressing member,
• the liquid ejection head is caused to abut on the facing portion at the abutting portion in a process in which the liquid ejection head moves from the recording position to the cap position, and moves the facing portion against a pressing force of the pressing member,
• a shaft extending in the movement direction of the liquid ejection head, the shaft being a guide shaft configured to guide the facing portion in the movement direction,
• a cylindrical portion provided in the facing portion, the cylindrical portion being guided by the guide shaft by the guide shaft being inserted into the cylindrical portion,
• a movement prescribing portion that is a portion on which an upper end of the cylindrical portion abuts, the movement prescribing portion prescribing a movement limit of the facing portion in a direction toward the liquid ejection head, wherein the pressing member presses the cylindrical portion toward the movement prescribing portion,
• the facing portion extends along a medium width direction that is a direction intersecting a medium transport direction,
• the cylindrical portion is provided at two locations that are both end portions of the facing portion in the medium width direction with an interval therebetween in the medium transport direction, and
• the liquid ejection head abuts on the facing portion between the cylindrical portions provided at two locations with an interval therebetween in the medium transport direction.
