Abstract
A recording device includes a roll holding unit, a transport mechanism, a recording unit, a cutting mechanism, and a discharge unit. The recording unit performs recording on a transported medium from the roll. The cutting mechanism cuts the medium, in an intersecting direction intersecting a transport direction. The discharge unit discharges the medium cut by the cutting mechanism. The transport mechanism includes a transport roller pair disposed upstream of the recording unit in the transport path. The control unit determines that the remaining length Lof the medium is insufficient to perform recording in a state of pinching the medium by the transport roller pair and the remaining length Lis greater than the predetermined length (affirmative determination in step S), the control unit cuts, by the cutting mechanism, a remaining medium to a predefined length Lor less and discharges the remaining medium (steps Sto S).
