RECORDING APPARATUS

A printer includes a first upper face cover and a second upper face cover. The first upper face cover is formed such that when a medium is set in a setting port, the width direction of the medium is a first direction, and the first upper face cover has a smaller dimension in the first direction than a dimension of an apparatus main body in the first direction. The first upper face cover in a closed state is included inside the second upper face cover in plan view when the second upper face cover is in a closed state. The first upper face cover and the second upper face cover both in the closed states form a shape that corresponds to an outline of an upper portion of the apparatus main body.

Printer

A printer includes a body configured to accommodate recording paper, a lid attached to the body to be openable and closable relative to the body, a pressing part on the lid, a platen roller attached to the lid, a movable shaft in the body, a spring that urges the movable shaft, and a lever configured to support bearings of the platen roller with the lid being closed. The movable shaft is provided at a position corresponding to the pressing part to be movable in a longitudinal direction of the movable shaft, and is pressed by the pressing part to generate a spring force in the spring during closure of the lid.
