A recording apparatus, including: a support portion; a recording portion; a first casing; a second casing; a positioning mechanism: a restricting mechanism configured to be selectively placed in one of: a restricted state in which a pivotal movement of the second housing is restricted; and a non-restricted state in which the pivotal movement of the second housing is not restricted, and an interlocking mechanism configured to move one of a guide pin and a guide hole in conjunction with the restricting mechanism, such that the guide pin and the guide hole are selectively placed at one of: an engaged state in which the guide pin and the guide hole engage each other when the restricting mechanism is in the restricted state; and a non-engaged state in which the guide pin and the guide hole do not engage when the restricting mechanism is in the non-restricted state.
