A recording device includes a recorder, a placement portion, an adjustment mechanism, a movement mechanism, a medium detector, an input portion, and a notification portion. The recorder performs a first operation of moving the placement portion to a first position to cause at least a portion of the placement portion to be located at a detection position, causing the medium detector to detect, at the first position, whether or not the medium is at a reference position, and causing the notification portion to notify information based on a detection result of the medium detector, and a second operation of moving the placement portion to cause an entire region of the placement portion in a second direction to pass through the detection position, causing the medium detector to detect whether or not the medium is at the reference position while the medium is passing through the detection position, and causing the notification portion to notify the information based on the detection result of the medium detector.
