Abstract

A printing apparatus includes a supporting part for a printing medium, a head, an ultraviolet irradiation part that emits from an irradiation surface thereof ultraviolet light, a protrusion fixed to the ultraviolet irradiation part, a frame, an attaching part that is attachable to the frame with an attaching position thereof adjusted, and a guide part that is attachable to the frame and guides the adjustment of the attaching position of the attaching part with respect to the frame. The guide part includes first and second butted parts, and the attaching part includes a butting part having a width smaller than a spacing between the first and second butted parts, and a distance between the irradiation surface and the supporting part is a sum of a difference between the width of the butting part and the spacing and a protruding length of the protrusion from the irradiation surface.
