1. A recording device comprising:
a transport unit configured to transport a medium along a transport path;
a recording unit configured to perform recording on the medium transported;
a wrinkle forming mechanism configured to form a wrinkle at a portion of the medium on the transport path before recording is performed;
a detection unit configured to detect a state of the wrinkle;
a control unit configured to control the wrinkle forming mechanism to form the wrinkle under a prescribed condition and to calculate a rigidity characteristic of the medium based on detection data of the detection unit; and
