Abstract:
A recording system usable with a recording apparatus having a recording head on which a plurality of recording elements are arranged in a direction of sub-scanning, and scanning means for scanning the recording head in a main scanning direction substantially orthogonal to the direction of sub-scanning, said recording system comprising:picture-element data splitting means for splitting picture-element data of image data into sets of split picture-element data, wherein each set of the sets of split picture-element data corresponds to the image data which is split by a predetermined number of picture-element data;split transfer means for transferring the sets of image data split by said picture-element data splitting means;storage means coupled to the recording apparatus for storing one set of the sets of split picture-element data transferred by said split transfer means; andrecording means coupled to the recording apparatus for recording the one set of split picture-element data stored in said storage means on a recording medium while the recording head is scanned once in the main scanning direction, wherein said recording means records an image corresponding to the image data by a plurality of scans using the sets of split picture-element data.
