Abstract
Paper jams and paper cutting problems are prevented by limiting sideways movement of the recording medium because wrinkles and sags in the recording medium produced by pulling sideways on the recording medium are caught by a notch unit. A recording device that pulls and records on a recording medium that is wound in a roll has a discharge guide unit that forms a discharge path for the recorded recording medium. The discharge guide unit has a discharge guide surface facing a surface of the recording medium, and has a notch unit disposed to the discharge-side end of the discharge guide surface.
