1. A recording device comprising:
a roll holding unit configured to hold a roll including a long medium wound around a core body;
a transport mechanism configured to transport the medium supplied from the roll in a transport direction along a transport path;
a recording unit configured to perform recording on the transported medium in the transport path;
a cutting mechanism configured to cut the medium, on which recording is performed by the recording unit, in an intersecting direction intersecting the transport direction;
a discharge unit configured to discharge the medium cut by the cutting mechanism; and
a control unit, wherein
the transport mechanism includes a transport roller pair disposed upstream of the recording unit in the transport path, and
when the control unit, upon performing recording on the medium, cutting the medium to a predetermined length, and discharging the medium, determines that the remaining length of the medium is insufficient to perform recording in a state of pinching the medium by the transport roller pair and the remaining length is greater than the predetermined length, the control unit cuts, by the cutting mechanism, a remaining medium to a predefined length or less and discharges the remaining medium.

7. A recording system comprising a recording device and a medium loading device, wherein
the recording device includes:
a roll holding unit configured to hold a roll including a long medium wound around a core body;
a transport mechanism configured to transport the medium supplied from the roll in a transport direction along a transport path;
a recording unit configured to perform recording on the transported medium in the transport path;
a cutting mechanism configured to cut the medium, on which recording is performed by the recording unit, in an intersecting direction intersecting the transport direction;
a discharge unit configured to discharge the medium cut by the cutting mechanism; and
a control unit,
the medium loading device includes:
a placement unit configured to place the medium discharged from the discharge unit of the recording device; and
a restricting unit configured to restrict the medium placed at the placement unit from moving downstream in a discharge direction,
the transport mechanism includes a transport roller pair disposed upstream of the recording unit in the transport path, and
when the control unit, upon performing recording on the medium, cutting the medium to a predetermined length, and discharging the medium, determines that the remaining length of the medium is insufficient to perform recording in a state of pinching the medium by the transport roller pair and the remaining length is greater than the placeable length at the placement unit, the control unit cuts, by the cutting mechanism, a remaining medium to the placeable length at the placement unit and discharges the remaining medium.

10. A control method for a recording device including:
a roll holding unit configured to hold a roll including a long medium wound around a core body;
a transport mechanism configured to transport the medium supplied from the roll in a transport direction along a transport path;
a recording unit configured to perform recording on the transported medium in the transport path;
a cutting mechanism configured to cut the medium, on which recording is performed by the recording unit, in an intersecting direction intersecting the transport direction; and
a discharge unit configured to discharge the medium cut by the cutting mechanism, wherein
the transport mechanism includes a transport roller pair disposed upstream of the recording unit in the transport path, and
the method includes, when determining, upon performing recording on the medium, cutting the medium to a predetermined length, and discharging the medium, that the remaining length of the medium is insufficient to perform recording in a state of pinching the medium by the transport roller pair and the remaining length is greater than the predetermined length, cutting, by the cutting mechanism, the remaining medium to a predefined length and discharging the remaining medium.
