1. A recording apparatus comprising:
a medium support section that forms a support surface that supports a medium before feeding;
a feeding roller that sends out the medium supported by the medium support section in a feeding direction; and
an apparatus main body including the medium support section and the feeding roller, wherein
the medium support section is configured to switch between a stored state of being stored in the apparatus main body and a protruding state being a state where an upstream part in the feeding direction protrudes from a first side surface which is one of side surfaces that form a periphery of the apparatus main body, and
in the protruding state of the medium support section, a downstream end of the support surface in the feeding direction is at a position close to a second side surface, which is a side surface opposite to the first side surface, between the first side surface and the second side surface,
wherein in the protruding state the upstream end of the support surface that protrudes from the first side surface is configured to receive the medium on the support surface for feeding by the feeding roller.
