A recording device including: a liquid ejecting unit configured to eject liquid to a first surface of a medium transported in a transport direction, a roller disposed downstream of the liquid ejecting unit in the transport direction and configured to rotate in contact with the first surface, and a control unit, wherein the control unit is configured to form a first pattern of the liquid on the first surface by controlling ejection of the liquid by the liquid ejecting unit, and to form a detection region for the first pattern at a specific position on the first surface at which the roller is brought into contact with the first surface when a rotational angle of the roller becomes m °+360°, m ° being a rotational angle of the roller when the roller is brought into contact with the first pattern.
A recording device comprising:
A recording method performed by a recording device that includes a liquid ejecting unit configured to eject liquid to a first surface of a medium transported in a transport direction, and a roller disposed downstream of the liquid ejecting unit in the transport direction and configured to rotate in contact with the first surface, the recording method comprising a pattern forming step in which a first pattern of the liquid is formed on the first surface by the liquid ejecting unit, and a detection region for the first pattern is formed at a specific position on the first surface with which the roller is brought into contact when a rotational angle of the roller becomes m °+360°, m ° being a rotational angle of the roller when the roller is brought into contact with the first pattern.
