Abstract:
1. A recording apparatus comprising: a drive source configured to apply a driving force and including a motor that has a rotational shaft and a cogging torque; a medium receiving tray configured to move in response to at least one of an external force being applied to the medium receiving tray and the driving force of the drive source being applied to the medium receiving tray; a clutch configured to idle in response to a predetermined amount of torque or more being applied, the clutch being provided to a power transmission pathway between the drive source and the medium receiving tray; a rotational body arranged closer to a side of the drive source than the clutch in the power transmission pathway; a load applying unit configured to apply, to the rotational body, a rotational load that has a magnitude that causes the clutch to idle before the rotational shaft of the motor rotates against the cogging torque when the medium receiving tray moves in response to the external force being applied to the medium receiving tray.
