Abstract
A recording apparatus includes a support portion to transport a medium in a transport direction. A recording head includes an ejecting surface that faces the support portion and is provided with a nozzle to eject liquid to the medium to be transported. A cap portion covers the ejecting surface, and a movement mechanism moves the recording head in a moving direction which is orthogonal to the transport direction. A cap moving portion supports and moves the cap portion between a cap position where a cap surface of the cap portion covers the ejecting surface and a standby position where the cap surface does not cover the ejecting surface.
