Medium transportation device and recording apparatus

A recording apparatus comprising:

• a recording section that performs recording on a medium;
• a transportation section that transports the medium in a transport direction;
• a winding section that winds the medium transported by the transportation section;
• and
• a medium support section that is disposed between the transportation section and the winding section, and has a medium support surface supporting the medium,
• wherein the medium support section has
• a plurality of protruding sections that include first surfaces having a coefficient of friction with the medium greater than that of the medium support surface and being disposed at intervals in a direction intersecting the transport direction;
• and
• a support sliding section formed of a second surface having a coefficient of friction with the medium lower than that of the first surface, wherein the plurality of protruding sections protrude from the second surface.
