Abstract

A recording apparatus includes a delivery section that rotates and delivers a roll-shaped recording medium; a transport belt that transports the recording medium delivered from the delivery section; a slack sensor that detects a slackened state in the recording medium delivered from the delivery section to the transport belt; and a control section that performs low speed transport control for controlling the transport belt such that the recording medium is transported by decreasing a transport speed of the recording medium depending on the transport belt if the slack sensor detects a lack of slack of the recording medium in a period of a first time or more.
