Abstract
A recording apparatus in which a recording unit performs recording with respect to a medium which is wound in a roll shape, the apparatus including a medium support unit which rotatably supports the medium; a transport unit which transports the medium in a path while pulling out the medium which is supported; and a terminal end detection unit which detects a terminal end of the medium. The transport unit transports the medium to an outlet side to which the medium, which is recorded, is discharged, when the terminal end is detected, and a length of the medium is equal to or larger than a predetermined value. On the other hand, the transport unit transports the medium to the medium support unit side, when the terminal end is detected, and the length of the medium is less than the predetermined value.
