1. A recording apparatus to record an image on a recording medium using a recording head, the recording apparatus comprising: a first conveying roller configured to convey the recording medium, wherein the first conveying roller is positioned upstream of the recording head in a conveying direction; a second conveying roller configured to convey the recording medium, wherein the second conveying roller is positioned downstream of the recording head in the conveying direction; and a controller configured to control a conveying operation of conveying the recording medium with the first conveying roller, wherein the controller selects a first conveying mode or a second conveying mode, wherein, in the first conveying mode, the controller performs a rotational phase control in which the controller controls rotational phases of the first conveying roller such that the recording medium is conveyed by a predetermined portion of circumference of the first conveying roller when a trailing end of the recording medium contacts the first conveying roller, and wherein, in the second conveying mode, the controller does not perform the rotational phase control.
