• 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;
• and
• a notification portion configured to notify information,
• the control method comprising;
• when the position of the placement portion in the first direction is adjusted,
• performing a first operation including causing the movement mechanism to move the placement portion to a first position, in accordance with a first instruction received by the input portion, so that at least a part of the placement portion is located at the detection position, causing the medium detector to detect, at the first position, whether the medium is located at the reference position, and causing the notification portion to notify information based on a result of the detection by the medium detector;
• and
• performing, after the first operation, a second operation including causing the movement mechanism to move the placement portion in accordance with a second 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.
