Abstract
The medium winding device includes a winding shaft, a drive unit for winding the medium around the winding member, a rotating member rotatably disposed, a tension applying member which moves as the drive unit is driven or stopped, a position detecting unit for detecting the position of the tension applying member, an output changing unit, a control unit that determines whether slippage occurs between the winding shaft and the winding member based on the position of the tension applying member and the result of output change by a rotation of the winding shaft. Further, the drive unit includes a torque limiter.
