1. A recording device, comprising:
a recording unit configured to eject liquid onto a medium to perform recording on the medium, the medium being transported in a transport direction;
a support unit including
a support surface configured to support the medium and
a discard portion provided at a position corresponding to an end edge of the medium supported on the support surface in a width direction, the width direction being a direction intersecting with the transport direction of the medium, the discard portion being a portion in which waste liquid being the liquid not used for recording on the medium is discarded;
a recovery unit configured to recover the waste liquid; and
a guide unit configured to receive the waste liquid flowing out from the discard portion and guide the waste liquid so that the waste liquid flows toward the recovery unit, wherein
the guide unit includes a receiving surface for receiving the waste liquid, and
when surface energy at a first position on the receiving surface for the waste liquid is first surface energy, and surface energy at a second position on the receiving surface for the waste liquid is the second surface energy, the second position being closer to the recovery unit than the first position,
the second surface energy is larger than the first surface energy.
