Recording device

A recording device comprising:

• a transport path configured to transport a medium;
• a recording section configured to perform recording on the medium in the transport path;
• a pair of transport rollers that is provided in the transport path and that includes a first roller and a second roller, the second roller being pressed toward the first roller;
• a pressing member configured to press the second roller toward the first roller;
• an adjustment mechanism configured to adjust pressing force of the pressing member;
• and
• a motor that is a power source of the adjustment mechanism, wherein
• the adjustment mechanism includes
• a rotation shaft configured to be rotated by power of the motor,
• a first rotation cam provided on the rotation shaft,
• a second rotation cam provided on the rotation shaft, and
• an adjustment member configured to engage with the first rotation cam and with the second rotation cam and also to engage with the pressing member, the adjustment member being configured to adjust the pressing force by being displaced by rotation of the first rotation cam and the second rotation cam,
• the first rotation cam includes a first cam surface configured to reduce the pressing force when the motor rotates in a first rotation direction,
• the second rotation cam includes a second cam surface that is a cam surface having a gentler gradient than the first cam surface and that is configured to increase the pressing force when the motor rotates in a second rotation direction that is opposite from the first rotation direction, and
• when rotation direction of the motor is switched from the first rotation direction to the second rotation direction, the first rotation cam starts rotating later than the second rotation cam.
