Patent ID: 8485631

Claim:
A recording device comprising: a transport unit that has a transport roller rotating to transport a medium along a transport direction; a recording unit that attaches a fluid to the medium transported by the transport unit; a generation unit that controls the transport unit and the recording unit to generate a correction chart in which marks are formed at a plurality of positions in the transport direction by the attachment of the fluid to the medium; a cutting unit that cuts the medium at a cutting position set on a downstream side in the transport direction of the transport roller; and a detection unit that has a detection target unit provided to be rotatable integrally with the transport roller and a detector detecting the detection target unit moving to an original point position in a circumferential direction, wherein when the original point position of the transport roller is detected by the detection unit and a downstream end in the transport direction of the medium is positioned further to the downstream side in the transport direction than the cutting position, the generation unit controls the cutting unit to cut the medium and then controls the transport unit and the recording unit to generate the correction chart.
