Abstract:
1. A recording apparatus comprising: a recording component that includes a plurality of recording portions arranged in a first direction and moves relatively to a recording medium at a speed V in a second direction intersecting with the first direction; a reading component that reads an image recorded on the recording medium by the recording component in a reading cycle T by a plurality of reading sections arranged at a predetermined pitch in the first direction; and a control component that controls, on the recording medium by the recording component, recordation of a detection mark having a size W in the first direction of twice or more than twice the predetermined pitch and a size L in the second direction in which L≧(n+1)·V·T (where n is an integer of 1 or more) and calculate a barycenter position of the detection mark in the first direction based on a reading result of the detection mark by the reading component.
