Abstract
A printer includes a first flap that switches a path for a paper transported in a transport direction, to one of first and second paths; a second flap provided downstream of the first flap in the transport direction and configured to switch the path for the paper transported through the second path, to one of third and fourth paths; a movable member that moves in a paper width direction orthogonal to the transport direction; and a switching mechanism that switches the first flap between a state where the movable member is disposed at a first position in the width direction and a state where the movable member is disposed at another position and switches the second flap between a state where the movable member is disposed at a second position in the width direction and a state where the movable member is disposed at another position.
