Recording apparatus

A recording apparatus comprising;

• a recording unit configured to record an image on a recording medium;
• and
• a transporting mechanism configured to transport the recording medium in a transporting direction along a transporting path through which the recording medium is transported;
• wherein the transporting mechanism includes:
• a guide surface which extends in a linear manner and which is configured to guide a side edge of the recording medium;
• and
• a pair of rollers arranged, in an orthogonal direction orthogonal to the guide surface, at a position between the guide surface and a central portion in the orthogonal direction of the transporting path, the pair of rollers being configured to transport the recording medium by rotating while holding the recording medium between the pair of rollers;
• wherein the pair of rollers includes:
• a driving roller configured to transport the recording medium;
• and
• a driven roller including:
• a rotary portion facing a recording surface, of the recording medium, and configured to rotate following movement of the recording medium;
• and
• a first shaft inserted through the rotary portion and configured to support the rotary portion rotatably in a circumferential direction of the first shaft;
• and
• wherein the rotary portion is supported rockably with respect to the first shaft.
