Provided is a recording apparatus with an enhanced handling property, including a grip preventing a risk in that the recording apparatus may slip out of fingers. Accordingly, the grip is arranged on a back surface of the recording apparatus. A plurality of slits are formed in a metal plate on a back surface side of a main body. The grip is inserted into the slits, and both end portions of the grip are fixed. A center portion of a belt protrudes outward to function as the grip to be grasped by a user. The slits are each formed along a vertical direction, and a widthwise direction of the belt is defined as the vertical direction. Further, the slits regulate the belt, and hence the belt is not twisted even when the user grasps the belt, which provides structure facilitating transmission of a force. The user raises the laid recording apparatus while grasping the grip, thereby being capable of easily setting the recording apparatus in an upright position.
