PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve user-friendliness and to further stabilize movement and an attitude of a discharged medium to be recorded.SOLUTION: A recording device comprises: a recording section; a discharge section discharging a recorded medium after recording; and a medium reception section receiving the discharged, recorded medium. The medium reception section includes: a first reception member having a first reception surface; and a second reception member being positioned apart from the first reception member backward in a discharge direction and having a second reception surface. The medium reception section can switch between a first state where the first reception member and the second reception member are inclined with leading end portions directed downward and a second state where an angle of the first reception member and an angle of the second reception member with respect to a horizontal plane are smaller than those thereof in the first state. The medium reception section receives a first recorded medium in the first state when the first recorded medium having a length in the discharge direction greater than a predetermined length is discharged, and receives a second recorded medium in the second state when the second recorded medium having the length smaller than the predetermined length. 【課題】使い勝手を向上させ、排出される被記録媒体の動きや姿勢をより安定させる。【解決手段】記録装置は、記録部と、記録後の被記録媒体を排出する排出部と、排出された被記録媒体を受ける媒体受け部とを備え、媒体受け部は、第１受け面を有する第１受け部材と、排出の方向の後方に第１受け部材から離れて位置し、第２受け面を有する第２受け部材とを有し、第１受け部材および第２受け部材が先端部を下方に向かせて傾斜する第１状態と、水平面に対する第１受け部材の角度および第２受け部材の角度が第１状態よりも小さい第２状態とを切り替え可能であり、排出の方向における長さが所定の長さより長い第１被記録媒体が排出される場合には第１状態で第１被記録媒体を受け、前記所定の長さよりも短い第２被記録媒体が排出される場合には、第２状態で第２被記録媒体を受ける。【選択図】図３
