Abstract
A printer includes a guide shaft, a rail member, print head units, a carriage and a first pressing portion. The first pressing portion includes a first contact member, a first support shaft, a first arm member and a first urging member. The first contact member comes into contact with a first end portion. The first support shaft is disposed between a position facing one of the two support portions in a rail-side end portion and a position facing the other support portion. The first support shaft stands in a fourth direction opposite to a third direction in which an ejection portion ejects liquid. The first arm member swings around the first support shaft, and supports the first contact member on a swinging end side. The first urging member urges the first arm member in a direction in which the first contact member comes into contact with the first end portion.
