a first accommodation part in which a roll body having a configuration where a first sheet-shaped medium is rolled in a roll shape is accommodated;
a conveyance guide configured to define a conveyance path for a roll medium which is the first sheet-shaped medium unrolled from the roll body accommodated in the first accommodation part; and

the housing has, in positions corresponding to the convex portions in the axis direction, inclined surfaces inclined upward toward a direction in which the feed tray is inserted into the housing,
the shutter is rotatably supported on the conveyance guide, the shutter having a rotary shaft extending in the axis direction, and
