To prevent a recording agent and a medium from being wasted even if a medium different from a medium to be used to record an image is fed.SOLUTION: A control part executes: reception processing for receiving a recording indication including an indication specifying one of a roll sheet and a cut sheet as a recording sheet where an image is to be recorded; preliminary carrying processing (S17) for not recording the image on the sheet by a head after executing the reception processing, but carrying the sheet by a preliminary carrying length or longer by a carrying mechanism after a front end of the sheet reaches a detection position; and medium determination processing (S18) for determining, in response to detecting a rear end of the sheet by a rear end detection part during the preliminary carrying processing, whether or not the sheet fed by the feed roller is the recording sheet that the recording indication specifies.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6 【課題】画像の記録に用いるべき媒体とは異なる媒体が給送されても、記録剤及び媒体が無駄になってしまうのを防ぐ。【解決手段】制御部が、ロール紙及びカット紙のいずれか一方を画像を記録する記録用紙として指定する指示を含む記録指示を受信する受付処理と、受付処理を実行した後に、ヘッドにより用紙に画像を記録することなく、搬送機構により、用紙の先端が検知位置に到達してから、予備搬送長さ以上用紙を搬送する予備搬送処理（Ｓ１７）と、予備搬送処理中に行われる後端検知部による用紙の後端の検知結果に基づいて、給送ローラにより給送された用紙が、記録指示にかかる記録用紙であるか否かを判断する媒体判断処理（Ｓ１８）と、を実行する。【選択図】図６
