Abstract
A printer includes an inversion path that inverts a medium, an inversion roller having a circumferential surface that serves as a path surface of the inversion path, an advancing roller having a circumferential surface that faces both a first path that is a path before the medium is inverted and a second path that is a path after the medium is inverted. The printer also includes an idler roller disposed above the inversion roller and a supply mechanism that is disposed above the idler roller and that supplies the medium toward the recording head. The inversion roller is made smaller in diameter than the advancing roller, and the inversion roller is positioned within a height range of the advancing roller, and at least part of the idler roller is positioned within the height range of the advancing roller.
