Abstract
A printer includes a first holding shaft holding side pinch rollers and at least one center pinch roller, grit rollers moving a recording medium while holding the recording medium together with the side pinch rollers and together with the center pinch roller, and a rotator rotating the first holding shaft to cause the side pinch rollers and the center pinch roller to approach, or to be separated from, the grit rollers. The center pinch roller is movable in a direction to be separated from the recording medium, independently from the side pinch rollers.
