Printing apparatus including a moving guiding portion

A printing apparatus comprising:

• a first driving portion that transports a paper sheet by driving;
• a printing portion that is disposed on an upstream side of the first driving portion in a transporting direction of the paper sheet which is transported by the first driving portion, includes a plurality of aligned ejection ports ejecting liquid onto the transporting paper sheet to print an image on the paper sheet by the liquid;
• a drawing portion that is disposed on an upstream side of the printing portion in the transporting direction, draws the paper sheet of which a tip end is placed at a preset position, and feeds the paper sheet to a transporting path via the printing portion and the first driving portion;
• and
• a guiding portion that is arranged between the printing portion and the first driving portion in the transporting direction;
• and
• a second driving portion that drives the guiding portion and moves the guiding portion,
• wherein:
• when feeding the paper sheet, the guiding portion reciprocates between a first position and a second position which is apart from the first position in a first direction in accordance with the driven by second driving portion,
• the guide portion guides a part passing through the printing portion in the paper sheet to the first driving portion in a state where the guide portion is in the first position, and
• the guide portion makes the part passing through the printing portion in the paper sheet detour in the first direction and guides the part to the first driving portion in a state where the guide portion moves to the second position.
