Abstract
A placement tray, which is displaceable to a closed state and an open state with respect to a device main body, has a placement surfaceon which a medium is placed, edge guidesthat restrict side edges of the medium to be placed, and a link memberthat supports the placement tray in the open state. The edge guide has a movable sectionthat pivotably switches between a non-use posture in which it reclines along the placement surface and a use posture in which it is upright against the placement surface, and an operation sectionthat is fixed in posture against the placement surface and is operated. At least a part of the operation section is provided at a position that overlaps the movable section and does not overlap the link member as viewed from the width direction that intersects the transport direction F of the medium.
