Abstract
A liquid ejecting apparatus comprising a transporting path to transport a first target medium in a first direction and to transport a second target medium in the first direction and a second direction, a first and second rollers, a supporting member that supports the second roller and is movable between a first position where the first roller contacts the second rollers and a second position where the second roller is separated from the first roller, a releaser that moves the supporting member between the first and second positions, wherein the releaser has a lever that projects into the transporting path when the supporting member is in the first position and is adapted to be pushed by a leading edge of the second target medium, thereby receding from the transporting path and rotating the releaser such that the releaser moves the supporting member to the second position.
