Abstract
A recording device includes a recording unit configured to perform recording to a medium, a conveyance belt disposed facing the recording unit and configured to convey the medium, a first blade and a second blade configured to make contact with the conveyance belt and scrape out a residual of the conveyance belt, and a switching mechanism configured to switch the first blade and the second blade. When the first blade is moved to a first position where the first blade makes contact with the conveyance belt, the control unit moves the second blade to a second position where the second blade is separated from the conveyance belt, and when the second blade is moved to the first position where the second blade makes contact with the conveyance belt, the control unit moves the first blade to the second position where the first blade is separated from the conveyance belt.
