Abstract:
1. A recording apparatus that performs recording by scanning a recording head having a plurality of recording element arrays in which a plurality of recording elements are aligned, in a direction intersecting with the alignment direction, comprising: a receiving buffer that stores recording data for respective recording element arrays, and setting data including first registration information corresponding to a relative distance in a scanning direction between the respective recording element arrays and second registration information corresponding to an inclination in a direction perpendicular to the scanning direction of each of the recording element arrays, the recording data and the setting data being sent from a connected host device; a recording buffer that stores recording data of each recording element array in association with a recording position in the scanning direction; and writing control means that performs control to adjust a storage position of recording data of each recording element array based on the first and second registration information, and store the data in the recording buffer, wherein the second registration information is a value obtained by converting the inclination into the number of recording pixels in the scanning direction.
