PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a printer in which media are readily set and conveyance jamming is not generated without increasing the size of the apparatus due to increase in the number of parts. SOLUTION: Obliqueness of a medium 2 is corrected in the state in which it enters a medium conveying path 4. A protruding portion 21a which abuts a front end 201 of the medium 2 and a pressure roller 5 which is idly rotated in the direction in which the medium 2 is conveyed toward the protruding portion 21a are provided. A stopper 21 and the pressure roller 5 are moved together so that they are closer to or distant from the medium. When the degree of obliqueness of the medium after obliqueness correction is over a permissible range, the pressure roller 5 enters the medium conveyance path further deeper. In an upstream side of an opening 12 provided in a part of the medium conveyance path 4, an upstream-side guide 13 having an inclined portion 13a pointed toward outside of the medium conveyance path is rotatably provided. In a downstream side of the opening 12, a downstream-side guide 14 having an inclined portion 14a with a distal end pointed toward the upstream side and outside of the medium conveyance path is rotatably provided.
