Abstract
A winding device includes a winding portion that winds a continuous medium, a friction roller that contacts the continuous medium while the continuous medium is being fed to the winding portion and that applies friction resistance to the continuous medium, and a roller driving portion that causes the friction roller to rotate in a direction in which the continuous medium is fed, in which the roller driving portion includes a roller gear train that transmits rotation of a feed motor, which is input via a winding-portion gear train, to the friction roller.
