Abstract
A recording device includes a reading device including a reading unit that reads an image of a document, a placement unit at which a medium is placed, and a recording unit that performs recording on the medium transported from the placement unit. A size of the medium is determined by emitting light from the reading unit toward a detection target and calculating a position thereof, the position of the detection target changing in accordance with the size of the medium placed at the placement unit.
Claims10
A recording device, comprising:
- a reading device including a reader configured to read an image of a document;
- a placement member at which a medium is placed;
- a recorder configured to perform recording on the medium transported from the placement member;
- and
- an edge guide configured to guide the medium by coming into contact with an edge of the medium placed at the placement member, wherein
- a size of the medium is determined by emitting light from the reader toward a detection target and calculating a position thereof, the position of the detection target changing in accordance with the size of the medium placed at the placement member,
- the reader reads the image by moving in a first moving direction with respect to the document, and
- a position of the edge guide, as the detection target, is determined by the reader emitting the light while moving in the first moving direction.
