Abstract
A recording apparatus includes a recording section that performs recording on a recording medium, a rotation section that sends out the recording medium by rotating a roll of the recording medium or rolls up the recording medium into a roll, and a roll diameter estimation section that estimates the roll diameter of the recording medium present in the rotation section. The roll diameter estimation section is capable of estimating the roll diameter during the recording performed by the recording section. The thus-configured recording apparatus estimates the roll diameter of the recording medium in real time during recording.
