Abstract
An image recording device including a transport unit that transports a recording medium from a first drive roller to a second drive roller by rotating a first drive roller and a second drive roller across which a recording medium is stretched, a support member that supports the recording medium between the first drive roller and the second drive roller, a recording unit that ejects liquid on the recording medium supported on the support member and records an image, a detection unit that detects tension of the recording medium moving toward the second drive roller away from the support member, and a control unit that gives tension to the recording medium by controlling the torque of the second drive roller based on the recording medium tension detected by the detection unit.
