Abstract
The position of splices is properly controlled during continuous printing. [Solution] The recording device comprises a holding unit that holds a roll sheet in which a recording medium is wound in a roll shape, a transport unit that unwinds and transports the recording medium from the roll sheet held by the holding unit, a recording unit that records on the recording medium transported by the transport unit, and a control unit that controls the transport of the recording medium by the transport unit and the recording by the recording unit, and a setting means for setting splice information relating to the position of the splice, which is the joint of the roll sheet held by the holding unit, and the control unit is controlled by the splice information set by the setting means.
