Abstract
A recording device includes a recording unit, a discharge roller unit, a medium receiving tray, a motor serving as a power source of the discharge roller, a power transmission unit that is configured to switch between a power transmission state in which power of the motor is transmitted from the motor to the medium receiving tray, and a power non-transmission state in which the power of the motor is not transmitted from the motor to the medium receiving tray, and a restriction unit that is configured to switch between a restriction state in which the restriction unit restricts displacement of the medium receiving tray when the power transmission unit is in the power non-transmission state, and a non-restriction state in which the restriction unit does not restrict the displacement of the medium receiving tray when the power transmission unit is in the power transmission state.
