Abstract
A recording apparatus includes: a medium receiving tray that is switchable between a housed state of being retracted inside apparatus body that includes a recording unit and a protruding state of protruding from the apparatus body relative to the housed state; a power source that switches the medium receiving tray between the housed state and the protruding state; and a medium detection unit that detects whether there is the medium on the medium receiving tray or not. When an error is detected during execution of a recording job, a control unit, which controls the power source based on detection information of the medium detection unit, determines whether there is the medium on the medium receiving tray or not. When the control unit determines that there is no medium on the medium receiving tray, the control unit switches the medium receiving tray into the housed state.
