The guide includes a first region in contact with the first surface of the tape at the guide, and second and third regions in contact with the second surface of the tape at the guide. The first region is positioned between the second region and the third region in a widthwise direction of the tape perpendicular to the first direction. The first region is positioned further in the first direction of the tape at the guide relative to the second region and the third region.
