A transportation alignment device, a control method for a transportation alignment device, and a recording device determine the alignment of media having a transparent part with high transmittance at its leading end with a simple configuration, and prevent idling of processes downstream from the alignment member. A plurality of optical media detection sensors arranged across the width of the transportation path on the upstream side of the alignment plates each detect a medium touching the alignment plates. If all of the media detection sensors do not detect the medium when the medium has been advanced sufficiently to contact the alignment plate and align the medium, a medium, such as a laminated medium, having a high transmittance part at the leading end thereof is determined to be aligned, the alignment plate is retracted from the transportation path, and the medium is conveyed to the downstream side of the transportation path.
