Abstract
A printer includes a carriage mounted with a head including a nozzle that discharges ink onto a recording medium, a lever including a first end that contacts a surface of the recording medium. The lever is disposed such that an inclination of the lever relative to a vertical direction of the surface changes based on a thickness of the recording medium. The printer further includes a cam that changes an orientation of the carriage based on the inclination of the lever.
