1. A recording apparatus, comprising:
an apparatus body including a recording device to perform recording onto a medium; and
a medium receiving tray configured to be switched between a first state in which the medium receiving tray is stored in the apparatus body and a second state in which the medium receiving tray is protruded furthest from the apparatus body and also configured to receive the medium discharged from the apparatus body in the second state or in a state in which the medium receiving tray is protruded from the first state to the second state, wherein
the medium receiving tray includes a first tray and a second tray, the first tray being displaceable relative to the apparatus body, the second tray being displaceable relative to the first tray, the second tray being protruded further than the first tray from the apparatus body when the medium receiving tray is in the second state,
the first tray has a first support surface that supports the medium when the medium receiving tray is in the second state,
the second tray has a movable support that is rotatable with an upstream end thereof serving as a free end of the movable support,
the movable support is on an upper part of the second tray,
an upper surface of the movable support corresponds to a second support surface for supporting the medium directly in the second state,
the movable support is positioned above the first support surface when the medium receiving tray is in the first state, and
when the medium receiving tray is switched from the first state to the second state, the free end of the movable support is detached from a downstream end of the first support surface and displaced downward, and the second support surface is thereby inclined upward toward a downstream in a medium discharging direction.
