Abstract: A printer includes a transport path along which a medium is transported, a transport unit that transports the medium in a transport direction along the transport path, an ejection head that ejects liquid onto the medium transported along the transport path, a manual insertion feed unit that feeds the manually inserted medium to the transport path, a discharge tray that is disposed downstream of the transport path in the transport direction and on which the medium discharged from the transport path is placed, and a restricting unit that restricts, at a position upstream, in the transport direction, of a position facing the ejection head on the transport path, a downstream movement of the medium manually inserted into the manual insertion feed unit.

Abstract: An image recording device including a cutter cover, the image recording device including: a transport unit configured to transport a medium along a transport path; a recording unit configured to record an image on the transported medium; and a cutting unit provided downstream of the recording unit in a transport direction of the medium, the cutting unit being configured to cut the transported medium. The cutting unit includes: a first cutter configured to cut the medium while moving in a scanning direction intersecting the transport direction; a second cutter opposed to the first cutter; a cutter carriage at which the first cutter is mounted, the cutter carriage being configured to move the first cutter in the scanning direction; and a protruding portion provided in an upper portion of the cutter carriage and protruding upward. A first slit extending internally along the scanning direction is formed in the upper portion of the cutter cover. The protruding portion protrudes from an inside of the cutter cover toward an outside through the first slit.
