A recording apparatus includes a printing unit that performs a recording on a sheet, a third sheet feed unit that mounts a roll body on which the sheet is wound in a roll shape, unwinds the sheet from the roll body, and supplies the sheet to the printing unit, and a pressing portion that presses the roll body mounted on the third sheet feed unit, in which the pressing portion presses the mounted roll body in a direction opposite to a direction of taking out the roll body from the third sheet feed unit.

A wrinkle caused in a separator roll is inhibited. A slitting apparatus (6) changes a conveying direction of a first separator (12a) by a direction changing roller (68) toward a first take-up roller (70U), and conveys the first separator via an assisting roller (69) which is provided between a take-up position of the first separator to be wound and the direction changing roller so as to shorten a conveying distance between the take-up position and a roller immediately before the take-up position.

A medium transport device includes a transport unit configured to transport a medium in a transport direction, a winding unit configured to wind the medium, a tension applying unit configured to apply a tension to the medium between the transport unit and the winding unit, a drive unit configured to drive the tension applying unit, and a controller configured to control the drive unit, in which the controller is configured to control the drive unit such that an application of the tension by the tension applying unit is released at a time when a subsequent transport operation by the transport unit is started after a termination of an winding operation of the medium by the winding unit.
