1. A recording device comprising:
a placement portion configured to support a medium;
a recorder configured to perform recording on the medium supported by the placement portion;
an adjustment mechanism configured to adjust a position of the placement portion in a first direction being a direction in which the recorder and the placement portion face each other;
a movement mechanism configured to move the placement portion in a second direction being a direction intersecting the first direction;
a medium detector configured to detect, at a detection position within a movement range of the placement portion moved by the movement mechanism, whether the medium placed at the placement portion is located at a reference position in the first direction;
an input portion configured to receive an input;
a notification portion configured to notify information;
a storage configured to store correspondence information in which identification information of the medium and positional information of the placement portion in the first direction are associated with each other; and
a controller; wherein
when the position of the placement portion in the first direction is adjusted, the controller performs
a positional information notification operation of causing the notification portion to notify positional information of the placement portion in the first direction based on the identification information of the medium, input by the input portion, and the correspondence information stored in the storage, and
after the positional information notification operation, a detection result notification operation including causing the movement mechanism to move the placement portion in accordance with a first instruction received by the input portion, so that an entire region in the second direction of the placement portion passes through the detection position, causing the medium detector to detect whether the medium is located at the reference position during when the medium is passing through the detection position, and causing the notification portion to notify information based on a result of the detection by the medium detector.
