1. A recording device, comprising:
a medium support portion configured to support a medium;
a recording unit configured to perform recording on the medium;
a movement unit configured to move relative to the medium support portion along a first axis; and
a detector attached to the movement unit, wherein
the detector includes an arm portion rotatably coupled to the movement unit, a contact portion fixed to one end of the arm portion, and a displacement detector for detecting a displacement of the contact portion,
the contact portion is disposed at a position overlapping the medium support portion in a second axis orthogonal to the first axis,
the arm portion
is at a non-contact position along the first axis when the contact portion does not contact the medium or does not contact the medium support portion, and
rotates about a rotational movement shaft by the contact portion contacting the medium while the movement unit moves, and
the displacement detector detects whether the arm portion is at the non-contact position or not.
