1. A recording apparatus, comprising:
a medium transportation path along which a medium is transported;
a recording head that performs recording on the medium transported along the medium transportation path;
a head unit including the recording head and configured to move between a recording position where the recording is performed on the medium and a retraction position away from the medium transportation path;
a movement mechanism that moves the head unit by applying, to the head unit, a force acting in a moving direction of the head unit;
a positioning portion with which a part of the head unit moving from the retraction position toward the recording position comes into contact for positioning the head unit at the recording position; and
a unit pusher that applies, to the head unit, a force acting in a direction of canceling rotation of the head unit when the head unit is located at the recording position, wherein
a moment for rotating the head unit as viewed in a medium width direction intersecting with a medium transportation direction is produced by the force applied by the movement mechanism to the head unit and by a reaction force received by the head unit from the positioning portion, and
the unit pusher pushes the head unit in a direction intersecting with the moving direction of the head unit.
