A medium feeder is adapted to feed a target medium to a liquid ejecting section in which liquid is ejected toward the target medium. A feeding roller is adapted to come in contact with the target medium, thereby feeding the target medium in a first direction. A first supporter opposes the feeding roller and has a first supporting face adapted to support the target medium. A second supporter is disposed in an upper side of the first supporter and has a second supporting face adapted to support the target medium. A first edge guide is provided on the first supporter so as to be movable in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and has a first guiding face adapted to come in contact with a first side edge of the target medium. A second edge guide is provided on the second supporter so as to be movable in the second direction, and has a second guiding face adapted to come in contact with the first side edge of the target medium. The second edge guide is coupled with the first edge guide so that the first edge guide and the second edge guide move together. A retainer is provided in the second edge guide and operable to retain the second edge guide at an arbitrary position within a movable range of the second edge guide.
