Patent ID: 8915567

Claim:
An image recording device comprising: a feed unit that feeds a recording medium, 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 fed by the feed unit from the first drive roller to the second drive roller, a support member that supports the recording medium between the first drive roller and the second drive roller, a recording unit that ejects a liquid on the recording medium supported on the support member and records an image, a detection unit that is disposed between the support member and the second drive roller to detect tension of the recording medium moving toward the second drive roller away from the support member, a take up unit that takes up the recording medium from the second drive roller, and a control unit that adjusts tension of the recording medium between the first drive roller and the second drive roller by controlling the torque of the second drive roller based on the tension of the recording medium detected by the detection unit.
