Recording apparatus

A recording apparatus, comprising:

• an apparatus body that includes a recording unit that performs recording on a medium;
• a medium receiving tray that is switchable between a housed state, in which the medium receiving tray is retracted inside the apparatus body, and a protruding state, in which the medium receiving tray protrudes from the apparatus body relative to the housed state, the medium receiving tray being configured to receive the medium ejected when in the protruding state;
• a power source that switches the medium receiving tray between the housed state and the protruding state;
• a medium detection unit that detects whether there is the medium on the medium receiving tray or not;
• a person presence detection sensor that detects presence of a person approaching the apparatus body;
• and
• a control unit that controls the power source based on detection information of the medium detection unit and detection information of the person presence detection sensor;
• wherein
• the control unit shifts into a power saving mode when a predetermined time has elapsed in a recording standby state while the medium receiving tray is in the protruding state with the medium placed on the medium receiving tray, and
• upon detecting the approaching of the person by the person presence detection sensor during execution of the power saving mode, the control unit returns from the power saving mode, determines whether there is the medium on the medium receiving tray or not when returning from the power saving mode, and switches the medium receiving tray into the housed state when the control unit determines that there is no medium on the medium receiving tray.
