Abstract
A printing apparatus includes, in a printing apparatus main body, a cover configured to open and close a housing portion configured to house a recording medium, and a first support shaft and a second support shaft configured to rotatably support the cover. The first support shaft is disposed in a position closer to the printing unit than to the housing portion, and the second support shaft is disposed in a position farther from the printing unit than from the housing portion. The cover is configured such that, when displaced from a closed position in a first direction, the cover is rotationally movable around the first support shaft up to a first open position, and that, when the cover is displaced from the closed position in a second direction, the cover is rotationally movable around the second support shaft up to a second open position.
