Recording device

A recording device comprising:

• a liquid discharging head configured to discharge a liquid to a medium to perform recording;
• an opposing section disposed opposed to the liquid discharging head and including an opening portion formed at a position opposed to the liquid discharging head;
• a cap section disposed at an inside of the opening portion and configured to cover a liquid discharging surface of the liquid discharging head;
• and
• a shutter configured to be displaced into a shielding position at which the opening portion is shielded and an open position at which the opening portion is opened, the shutter being configured to support a medium passing through a position opposed to the liquid discharging head when the shutter is disposed at the shielding position, the shutter includes a plurality of first ribs extending in a medium transport direction and are provided spaced apart from each other along a width direction intersecting the medium transport direction, the plurality of first ribs extend upwardly from a body of the shutter, the body and the plurality of first ribs of the shutter overlapping the cap section in the shielding position, wherein
• the liquid discharging head includes a plurality of head chips including a nozzle configured to discharge a liquid,
• the head chips are arranged alternately at an upstream position and a downstream position along a medium width direction, the medium width direction being a direction intersecting a medium transport direction,
• the opening portion is formed opened alternately at an upstream position and a downstream position along the medium width direction and corresponding to the arrangement of the plurality of head chips, and
• the opposing section includes a support portion disposed between two of the plurality of head chips adjacent in the medium width direction and configured to support the shutter disposed at the shielding position.
