Abstract: A recording device includes a transport unit, a recording unit configured to move in a first direction and a second direction which is an opposite direction to the first direction, an mounting portion, and a tube including a fixed end fixed at a position downstream of the mounting portion in a liquid supply direction and a movable end movable with respect to the fixed end in the first direction, the movable end being coupled to the recording unit. The tube extends in the first direction from the movable end and extends to the fixed end after being folded back in the second direction. The transport unit includes a transport roller, and a rotation detector configured to detect rotation of the transport roller. When the recording unit is in a retracting region in the first direction, an edge end of a fold back portion of the tube overlaps the rotation detector.
