First Claim
1. A medium support unit configured to support a medium on which printing is performed by a printing apparatus, the medium support unit comprising:
- a support section including a support surface configured to support a medium; and
a cover section attached to the support section to cover the support surface, whereinthe cover section includes, on at least a part of a front side on which the medium is supported, a friction member having a static friction coefficient with respect to the medium, which is greater than a static friction coefficient of the support surface,the cover section includes, on a back side opposite to the front side, which faces the support section when the cover section is attached to the support section, a first area having a first adhesive force and a second area whose adhesive force is less than the first adhesive force, andthe cover section is attached to the support section by adhering at least a part of the first area to the support section.
