In such an embodiment, after the medium feeding cassette 5 is placed on the upper surface 21 of the recording apparatus main body 3, the respective locking devices 33 are rotated so that the locking portions 35 face inward, respectively. Since each locking portion 35 is locked to the upper surface 6 of the medium feeding cassette 5, it becomes difficult for the medium feeding cassette 5 to fall from the recording apparatus main body 3. Such a hook-shaped locking device 33 may be provided on a surface other than the upper surface 21 of the recording apparatus main body 3.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, a handle 37 is provided above the recording apparatus main body 3, and a locking device 39 that is rotatable so as to be perpendicular to the handle is provided on both ends of the handle 37. ing. A locking portion 41 is formed on the distal end side of each locking device 39, and after the medium feeding cassette 5 is placed on the upper surface 21 of the recording apparatus main body 3, the leading end of each locking portion 41 is directed downward. By rotating each locking device 39 so as to be directed, the leading end portion of each locking portion 41 is locked to the upper surface 6 of the medium feeding cassette 5. In such an embodiment, the medium feeding cassette 5 is placed on the upper surface 21 of the recording apparatus main body 3 when the recording apparatus 1 is not used. When the recording apparatus 1 is transported, the handle 37 is set in a vertical state as shown in FIG. 8, and the locking portion 41 is rotated downward as shown by an arrow in FIG. As a result, the leading end of the locking portion 41 is locked to the upper surface 6 of the medium feeding cassette 5, so that the medium feeding cassette 5 is unlikely to drop when the recording apparatus 1 is transported.

  Further, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 9, an elastic band fixing device 43 is provided on the upper surface 21 of the recording apparatus main body 3. The elastic band fixing device 43 includes an elastic band 45, a fixing portion 47 that fixes one end of the elastic band 45, and a locking portion 48 that locks the other end of the elastic band 45. An area for placing the medium feeding cassette 5 is formed between the fixing portion 47 and the locking portion 48, and the elastic band 45 is placed in a state where the medium feeding cassette 5 is placed on the placement area. The medium feeding cassette 5 can be fixed to the upper surface 21 of the recording apparatus main body 3 by extending and locking the other end to the locking portion 48.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 10, protrusions 49 are formed at four corners as an example of the lower surface of the medium feeding cassette 5, and the upper surface 21 of the recording apparatus main body 3 corresponds to each protrusion 49. At the position, four recessed portions 51 are formed for the protrusion 49 to enter just from above. In the present embodiment, when the medium feeding cassette 5 is placed on the upper surface 21 of the recording apparatus main body 3, the four protrusions 49 enter the recessed portions 51. 5 becomes difficult to fall.

  Further, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 11, two tenons 53 are formed on both sides of the lower surface of the medium feeding cassette 5, and the upper surface 21 of the recording apparatus main body 3 is at a position corresponding to the position of the tenons 53. A mortise hole 55 is formed for the mortise 53 to enter. In the present embodiment, when the medium feeding cassette 5 is placed on the upper surface 21 of the recording apparatus main body 3, each mortise 53 enters the mortise 55 from the near side to the far side of the paper surface of FIG. By sliding the medium feeding cassette 5, each tenon 53 is engaged with the mortise 55, so that the medium feeding cassette 5 is not easily dropped when the recording apparatus 1 is transported.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 12, surface tapes 57 and 58 such as Velcro (registered trademark) tapes that can be attached to each other at positions corresponding to the upper surface 21 of the recording apparatus main body 3 and the lower surface of the medium feeding cassette 5, respectively.
