To provide a means for stably moving a recording head only in a moving direction, irrespective of tension fluctuation of a long-sized member which is driven following a carriage.

The guide film 71 is driven in accordance with the movement of the film carriage 41 so that the recording head 39 may directly face a platen 42. Regarding the film carriage 41 which is guided by guide rails 43 and 44 so that it can move following the carriage 38 in a reciprocating movement direction 105, the relative rotation of the film carriage 41 with respect to the guide rails 43 and 44 is regulated to an angle of ≤θ, and the relative rotation angle of the film carriage 41 with respect to the carriage 38 which is movably guided by the guide rail 43 and 44 in the reciprocating movement direction 105 is larger than the angle θ.
