• a guide path located below the recording-time conveying path, the guide path guiding, in a second direction opposite to the first direction, the medium being passed through the recording-time conveying path;
• a discharge path located downstream in the recording-time conveying path, the discharge path being for discharging the medium on which the recording was performed;
• a discharge roller disposed in the discharge path and configured to feed the medium downstream in the discharge path;
• a motor for discharge configured to drive the discharge roller;
• a first path forming section forming a lower surface of the recording-time conveying path;
• and
• a second path forming section forming an upper surface of the guide path, wherein
• the motor for discharge is disposed at a position between the first path forming section and the second path forming section.
