Claim:
1. A recording head, comprising: a head module having a recording surface on which recording elements are arranged; a support member that supports the head module; a first direction position adjusting unit that adjusts a first-direction position of the head module with respect to the support member; a rotation direction adjusting unit that adjusts angular deviation of a rotation direction within a plane parallel to the recording surface of the head module with respect to the support member; and a position detection unit that detects the first-direction position of the head module with respect to the support member, which is used when performing adjustment by the first direction position adjusting unit and adjustment by the rotation direction adjusting unit, wherein the rotation direction adjusting unit includes a rotation support mechanism, through which a rotation axis of the head module passes along a direction perpendicular to the recording surface and which rotatably supports the head module within the plane parallel to the recording surface, and a second direction moving mechanism that moves an adjustment position of the head module, which is spaced apart from the rotation support mechanism to the first direction, to a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.
