Claim:
1. A recording apparatus comprising: a transporting unit that is capable of transporting a medium; a detecting unit that is capable of detecting a transport direction in which the medium is transported by the transporting unit; a recording unit that is capable of performing recording on the medium transported by the transporting unit; a frictional force exerting unit that is capable of coming into contact with and separating from a side of the medium opposite to a recording side on which recording is performed by the recording unit and is capable of coming into contact with at least a part of the opposite side of the medium to exert frictional force on the medium when the medium is transported by the transporting unit; and a control unit that controls the contact of the frictional force exerting unit with the medium on the basis of a detection result from the detecting unit; and a winding unit that is disposed further downstream of the transport direction than the recording unit and is capable of winding the medium, wherein the detecting unit is disposed further downstream of the transport direction than the recording unit as well as further upstream of the transport direction than the winding unit.
