Abstract
A method is for notifying information of a remaining amount of a recording medium in a recording apparatus including 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, and a slack sensor that detects a slackened state in the recording medium delivered from the delivery section to the transport belt. The method includes notifying the information of the remaining amount of the recording medium if the slack sensor detects a lack of slack of the recording medium in a period of a first time or more.
