A printing device comprising: a transporting section that is configured to transport a recording medium in a transporting direction; a printing section that is configured to carry out printing on the transported recording medium; a feed amount correcting section that is configured to correct a feed amount in the transporting direction of the recording medium transported by the transporting section; and a control section that is configured to control the transporting section and the feed amount correcting section, wherein the feed amount correcting section includes: a moving section that is configured to move with the movement of the recording medium in the transporting direction; and a displacement detecting section that is configured to detect a displacement amount of the moving section, characterised in that a distance between the displacement detecting section at an initial position before the transportation and the moving section at an initial position before the transportation is a set feed amount, the control section is configured to control the feed amount of the recording medium based on a difference between the feed amount acquired at the time of printing of the printing section and the set feed amount, the control section is configured to carry out position correction on the initial position of the displacement detecting section based on the difference of the feed amount acquired at the time of printing of the printing section and the set feed amount to obtain the set feed amount after the correction, the moving section is moved toward the displacement detecting section at the time of transportation, and the control section is configured to control the transporting section so that the feed amount of the recording medium becomes the set feed amount after the correction, based on the displacement amount detected by the displacement detecting section of the moving section. a transporting section that is configured to transport a recording medium in a transporting direction;
