Abstract:
1. An edge regulating device that regulates edge of a printing medium by an edge guide comprising: a first holding unit that is able to hold the edge guide with a predetermined pitch along the direction of displacement of the edge guide; a second holding unit that is able to hold the edge guide with a pitch larger than the holding pitch by the first holding unit along the direction of displacement of the edge guide; an operating unit engaged with the first holding unit and the second holding unit, and which may be elastically deformed between a holding state and a released state; wherein elastically deforming the operating unit from the holding state to the released state causes the operating unit to simultaneously apply a pressure to both the first holding unit and second holding unit so that both the first holding unit and the second holding unit are released at the same time.
