A printing apparatus includes: a carriage mounting print head, executing scanning in a direction perpendicular to a transport direction of a printing medium, and being movable in a vertical direction in accordance with the thickness of the printing medium; an encoder scale having a predetermined pattern and extending in the direction perpendicular to the transport direction; a detection sensor detecting the pattern of the encoder scale and including a slit into which the encoder scale is inserted; and a frame shaft-supporting a transport roller transporting the printing medium. The encoder scale stretches in the frame and a predetermined portion of the encoder scale in the extension direction engages with the frame through an engagement section.
