Abstract
A medium supporting unit includes a supporting portion that supports a medium and a holding portion that holds the medium that is in a state of being supported by the supporting portion, and the holding portion includes a first portion that is a portion at one side of a straight line passing on a center of the holding portion in a plan view of the holding portion, and a second portion that is a portion at the another side of the straight line, a weight of the first portion being different from a weight of the second portion. This configuration of the medium supporting unit enables suppression of floating of the medium without impairing the ease of handling of the medium supporting unit.
