What is claimed is: 1. A cutting apparatus comprising: a cutting blade that cuts a medium; a casing that holds the cutting blade and that has a first passageway in which the medium passing through contacts the cutting blade and a second passageway in which the medium passing through does not contact the cutting blade; and a guide portion that is displaceable to a first position in which the guide portion allows the medium to pass through the first passageway and a second position in which the guide portion guides the medium to the second passageway, wherein the guide portion is displaced from the second position to the first position by the medium passing through the first passageway and contacting the guide portion. 2. The cutting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the guide portion blocks the first passageway when the guide portion is positioned in the second position. 3. The cutting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein when the casing is viewed from above, the first passageway and the second passageway are provided at positions at which the first passageway and the second passageway at least partially overlap with each other. 4.
