1. A recording apparatus comprising:
a transport path on which a medium is transported;
a recording section that includes a liquid ejecting section for ejecting a liquid onto the medium and that is configured to move between a first position at which the liquid ejecting section performs recording on the medium transported on the transport path and a second position at which the recording section is retreated from the transport path;
a moving unit that moves the recording section in a first direction in which the recording section retreats from the transport path and a second direction in which the recording section advances to the transport path;
a wiper that wipes a liquid ejection surface of the liquid ejecting section by moving in a direction extending along the liquid ejection surface when the recording section is at the second position; and
a regulating unit that is configured to switch between a regulating state in which regulating of movement of the recording section in the first direction is performed and a non-regulating state in which the regulating is not performed and that has the regulating state when the recording section is at the second position.
