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