1. A recording device comprising:
a holding part configured to hold a roll body in which a recording medium is wound into a roll shape;
a rotation mechanism configured to rotate the roll body by rotating the holding part;
a pair of transport rollers configured to transport the recording medium by nipping and rotating the recording medium;
a recording part configured to perform recording on the recording medium transported by the pair of transport rollers;
a first detection part disposed downstream of the recording part in a transport direction of the recording medium, and configured to detect a leading end of the recording medium in the transport direction;
a notification part configured to notify information;
an operation part configured to receive an input of an operation;
a second detection part configured to detect the leading end between the recording part and the first detection part; and
a control part configured to control the rotation mechanism, the pair of transport rollers, the recording part, the first detection part, and the notification part, wherein
in a state in which nipping by the pair of transport rollers is released, the control part monitors in a first monitoring operation whether or not the leading end inserted in the transport direction from a holding part side into a space between the pair of transport rollers is detected by the first detection part, and when the leading end is detected by the first detection part, the control part performs a first notification operation of causing the notification part to notify that the leading end is detected by the first detection part,
after performing the first notification operation, the control part controls the rotation mechanism to wind the recording medium around the roll body in response to receiving, from the operation part, an input of a reverse transport operation of reversely transporting the recording medium in a direction opposite to the transport direction, and
the control part monitors in a second monitoring operation whether or not the leading end is detected by the second detection part, and when the leading end is detected by the second detection part, the control part ends the reverse transport and the winding of the recording medium around the roll body.
