Abstract
A printer includes an apparatus main body including a recording head, and a duplexing unit configured to be removable with respect to the apparatus main body and forming a reverse transport path in which a sheet fed from the recording head side is reversed. The sheet width (for example, width of A4 short side) able to be transported to a region opposing the recording head through the reverse transport path is smaller than the width (for example, width of A4 long side) of the manual supply path, and in a case where the sheet on which recording is performed warps in the width direction, the extent of the warping is restricted to a predetermined range.
