RECORDING DEVICE

To provide a recording device which can detect the shape of a sheet with excellent efficiency even if a housing has the relatively narrow width.SOLUTION: A recording device according to the present invention comprises: conveyance means which conveys a sheet; a carriage which moves in the first direction heading toward a second end from a first end of the sheet conveyed by the conveyance means and the second direction opposite to the first direction; a first sensor which is arranged in the carriage and detects the sheet; and a second sensor which is arranged in the carriage so as to be apart in the first direction from the first sensor and detects the sheet. The recording device executes any of a first detection operation of making the carriage move in a first distance and making the first sensor detect a space between the side of the second end and the side of the first end of the sheet, and a second detection operation of making the carriage move in the second distance longer than the first distance and making the first sensor and the second sensor detect the space between the side of the second end and the side of the first end of the sheet.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6 【課題】 相対的に幅の狭い筺体であっても効率よくシートの形状を検出できる記録装置を提供する。【解決手段】 本発明の記録装置は、シートを搬送する搬送手段と、前記搬送手段で搬送されたシートの第１端部から第２端部に向かう第１方向と反対の第２方向とに移動するキャリッジと、を備える記録装置であって、前記キャリッジに配されシートを検知する第１センサと、当該第１センサと前記第１方向に離れて前記キャリッジに配されシートを検知する第２センサと、を有し、前記キャリッジが第１距離を移動して、シートの前記第２端部の側と前記第１端部の側との間を前記第１センサで検知する第１検知動作と、前記キャリッジが前記第１距離より長い第２距離を移動して、シートの前記第２端部の側と前記第１端部の側との間を前記第１センサおよび前記第２センサで検知する第２検知動作との何れか一方を実行することを特徴とする。【選択図】 図６
