To provide a recording device that can accurately detect a position of a recording medium even if a clearance is formed between a holding member held by a tray and the tray.SOLUTION: A recording device 1 mounts a holding member 56 holding a recording medium 59 on a tray 3 and carries the recording medium together with the tray, and further performs recording by causing recording means to discharge ink, while moving the recording means in a main scanning direction (an X direction) together with a carriage 31, where a position of an end part in the main scanning direction of the holding member mounted on the tray is detected by detecting means, and a position at which recording operation in the main scanning direction by the recording means is started is controlled by control means 400 on the basis of the detected position of the end part.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 16 【課題】トレイに保持される保持部材とトレイとの間に隙間が設けられている場合にも、記録媒体の位置を正確に検出することが可能な記録装置を提供する。【解決手段】記録装置１は、記録媒体５９を保持する保持部材５６をトレイ３に積載し、トレイと共に記録媒体を搬送する。また、キャリッジ３１と共に記録手段を主走査方向（Ｘ方向）へと移動させつつインクを吐出させて記録を行う。この際、トレイに積載される保持部材の主走査方向における端部位置を検出手段によって検出し、検出された端部位置に基づいて主走査方向における記録手段の記録動作開始位置を制御手段４００によって制御する。【選択図】図１６
