An ink jet printer includes: a print section; a container that houses a print associated member; an insertion port into which the container is inserted; an openable cover that openably covers a front surface of the insertion port; and a lock mechanism that locks the openable cover. The lock mechanism includes a through hole provided in the openable cover, and a displacement member provided in a cover-adjacent portion and configured to move between a locked position in which it engages the through hole to regulate opening movement of the openable cover and an unlocked position in which it disengages from the through hole to permit opening movement of the openable cover.

A printer module includes a frame body, a drum, a print head and a print-head moving mechanism. The drum is detachably connected to the frame body. The print-head moving mechanism movably connected to the frame body moves the print head in a horizontal direction substantially perpendicular to a direction of gravity exerted on the print-head moving mechanism. The print-head moving mechanism includes: a shaft rotatably connected to the frame body; an actuating rod connected to the shaft and rotated to rotate the shaft; and an actuating member connected to shaft and rotated with rotation of the shaft, so that the print head is moved between a first position and a second position. Thus, the volume occupied by the printer module can be reduced, the user's operation can be simplified, the influence and interference of the gravity can further be eliminated to simplify the design of the print-head moving mechanism.

Provided is a cover piece to be removably attached to a medium storage cassette including a medium storage section for storing a medium, and an operation unit provided in a recess and configured to lock and unlock the medium storage section to and from an apparatus main body. The cover piece includes a main portion configured to enter the recess in the medium storage cassette so as to cover the recess, and a sliding portion configured to slide so as to switch between a first state in which the sliding portion sticks out from the main portion and the main portion is locked to the recess, and a second state in which the main portion is unlocked and allowed to enter the recess and be removed from the recess.

A recording device is equipped with a recording unit and a scanning unit. The document table of the scanning unit is located so that the longitudinal direction of the document table is aligned with the width directions of the device. The size of the document table in the width directions of the device is larger than the size of the medium accommodation section, the center position of the document table in the width directions of the device is shifted in a first direction with respect to the center position of the medium accommodation section, and the recording unit has is a storage section that can hold article at the medium accommodation section side in the first direction and below the scanning unit.
