Abstract
A recording apparatus can mount a special recording material, such as a compact disc (CD) or the like, in a state of being accommodated in a tray and perform recording on the special recording material. In this recording apparatus, by an operation of mounting a tray guide into the main body of the recording apparatus, an arm of the tray guide is inserted between a spur base for holding a spur, and a platen for holding sheet discharge rollers. The spur base thereby raises to separate the spur from the sheet discharge roller, and a space to allow passage of the tray is formed.
