ABSTRACT:
A recording apparatus includes: a feeder, provided in an upstream in a transfer path for transferring a medium, for feeding the medium to a downstream in the transfer path one by one, the medium being stacked at an angle; a recording head, provided in the downstream of the feeder, for performing recording for the medium; a carriage, on which the recording head is mounted, for reciprocating in a main scanning direction along a carriage guide axis; a transfer roller for transferring the medium by rotating, the transfer roller including a transfer-driving roller and a transfer-driven roller; a stacker having a medium-placed surface, the stacker being positioned at a first position allowing the medium to be substantially horizontally fed from the medium-placed surface to a position under the recording head and be substantially horizontally discharged from the position under the recording head onto the medium-placed surface, or a second position for receiving and stacking the medium fed by the feeder, the second position being on a lower level than the first position, the medium-placed surface being arranged substantially horizontally when the stacker is positioned at the first position and is arranged at an angle when the stacker is positioned at the second position; and a first link mechanism for displacing the stacker to cause the carriage guide axis to displace. The carriage guide axis can be displaced upward and is prevented from moving downward when the stacker is positioned at the first position.
