- a medium support portion which supports, at a support surface, a recording medium in a recording region by the recording head;
- and
- a base portion to which the medium support portion is attached in a state of being movable in a direction along the support surface while being biased in a direction intersecting the support surface,
- wherein the base portion cooperates with a restriction portion which restricts movement of the medium support portion in a direction toward the recording head among directions intersecting the support surface, the base portion includes an extending portion that extends through a portion of the medium support portion,
- wherein an elastic member is formed below the medium support portion, the elastic member biasing the medium support portion in the direction intersecting the support surface,
- wherein the medium support portion, a friction reducing member, and the elastic member are interposed between the base portion and the restriction portion and the extending portion extends through at least a portion of the medium support portion, the friction reducing member and the elastic member.
